It’s EASY to Make Shared Misery “Equitable”! – Freedom vs Coercion
With ad hom attacks thrown in. Yes, I’m getting more militant on Treehugger – time for us ALL to heed Glen Reynold’s admonition to Conservatives and Libertarians to “punch back twice as hard” and that’s what the deal is here. Take the eco-socialists words and turn them right back on them. Make them come out … Read more
Where’d My Memory Go? The Left “Redistributed” it Away
If you don’t know where you came from, then any road in front of you is acceptable. If you don’t know what didn’t work in the past, why worry about what lies in front of you?
Notable Quote – Socialism provides no such Incentives
Capitalism provides many with the opportunity to display initiative. While the rigidity of a status society enjoins on everybody the unvarying performance of routine and does not tolerate any deviation from traditional patterns of conduct, capitalism encourages the innovator. Profit is the prize of successful deviation from customary types of procedure; loss is the penalty … Read more
Their “Cure” is Worse Than ‘The Disease’
All the usual Democrats are in the news giving us their latest and best advice on dealing with COVID. New, the kids need to stay in school (because they are less susceptible to COVID) or because self-isolation has been reduced to five days instead of ten (because parents must return to work to improve our economy?).
Why Top-down Socialist Economic Systems Are Always Doomed to Failure
No single individual, nor any collection of individuals, could have in their heads all the complex technical information on production processes and the nuances of personal feeling involved in matching millions of investment sources and users.
Even Republicans Think We’re Imbeciles and Incapable of Self-Care: The COVID
I recently got the following from a NH Republican House Legislator (who asked for anonymity) lamenting our “political elite” on both sides of the aisle. You know, like NH State Rep Kris Roberts (D): “Government has to protect us from our own stupidity.” However, this is about the Republicans.
Blast from the Past – Apropos Given What the Biden / Sanders “Build Back Better” Catastrophe wants to Do
GraniteGrok now has well over 44,000 posts in its archive – and I have written well over 16,000 of them and Steve is credited with an almost as large number as well. Why do I bring this up?
Potassium Metathorinate
Please forgive the click-bait title… you probably said “Potassium Meta-WTF-is-he-talking-about”?
The Evolution of Today’s Socialist, Anti-American Democrat
Throughout our history, Democrats and Republicans have offered contrasting solutions to the many problems facing our nation. But until recently, they have always agreed on certain fundamental principles.
“Socialist Magazine Founder Fires Staff for Socialist Organizing, Confesses He Felt Ownership of What He’d Made”
A socialist starts a socialist magazine, hires more Socialists that are “down with the Cause,” and then faces a revolt when his Socialist workers try to make it a “workers co-operative” and fires them. This is beyond hysterical.
Quick Takes – Hat Trick
Within I pick three topics upon which to discourse, but not worth a full-length examination as a standalone piece on their own. But first, reprising an older cartoon (for shameless self-promotion!):
Democrats’ Spending
The Democrats are pushing to spend more money than most Americans can truly conceive. The Senate, with the help of some Republicans, signed off on what is called the “Infrastructure Bill” for about 1.2 trillion dollars.
Notable Quote – Have Progressives already beat the Free Market into submission? Have we moved into Fascism controlled markets?
Reformatted, emphasis mine: In the interventionist state it is no longer of crucial importance for the success of an enterprise that operations be run in such a way that the needs of the consumer are satisfied in the best and least expensive way; it is much more important that one has “good relations” with the … Read more
Is Capitalism Evil?
The cover page of the July 4th Union Leader read, “Poetry Returns with a Slam,” headlining the return of Slam Free or Die, a poetry club that had not met in person since the beginning of the COVID lockdowns.
Hungry Wolves and Darkened Campfires
So in the clusterfark that is Afghanistan, the entire world is either laughing at us – e.g., China, Iran, Russia (even if discretely) – or watching in horror as the world’s most powerful military not just cuts and runs, but can’t even evacuate every American citizen. And is telling those there they need to pay their own way out.
If You Want the Poor to be Richer, Socialism Can’t do That!
Do you want to be in charge of your own economic choices, or are you in favor of others making those choices without your input? That’s really what’s at stake and what Friedman points out here.
