I’m constantly amazed at the cleverness of some people.
What Creates a High Standard of Living?
How does trickle-down economics actually work in the real world? Just look around.
Is the U.S. standard of living better than that of, say, Sweden?
Ludwig von Mises was around at about the same time that Ayn Rand was “a thing” in the middle of the 20th Century, but few people hold these beliefs today.
People Will Hate Me …..
Obviously, this isn’t a real human being, though there are tens of millions with this perspective, so let’s treat him as if he were an actual guy.
No one’s going to hate you, because everyone with a brain supports border control and law enforcement.
You are, however, running the risk of being regarded as a moron. There are hundreds of points of domestic and international law, reason, and humanity that are being addressed every day along these lines.
Why don’t you go on keepin’ those doggies moving, and let the rest of us do our best to figure out how to treat immigrants legally and humanely?
The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.Gun Laws
We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus as it pertains to gun regulation.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people per minute.
Maybe Firing All Those Scientists Wasn’t Such a Good Idea
Actually, it wouldn’t have required a PhD in chemistry to predict what would happen to a large pool of untreated fresh water during a hot summer in our nation’s capital.
American Imperialism
No one doubts that China is trying to take over the world; in fact, it could be argued that this has been an on-going effort for the last 6000 years.
Yet, unlike the United States, these people are patient and prefer to accomplish this task economically rather than militarily.

Why Is Trump Still Here?
I challenge anyone to watch this short video and explain how Trump still has enough standing with the American people to remain president.
This is just so embarrassing.
Rich Americans aren’t happy that their country is a laughingstock around the world, but their fortunes are multiplying, so what’s the big deal? How does personal integrity come into play when there is so much money at stake?
The MAGA crowd, i.e., uneducated white people, believe Trump when he says that he has brought back respect for the United States.

Celebrating America
At left is the ultraconservative crap that Fox News feeds its viewers.
In fact, the theme of U.S. 250th birthday party would be liberty and justice for all Americans, not just rich white people.

Cage Fighting on the White House Lawn
Maybe turning the White House into an attraction for the country’s least educated people (some say “trailer trash”) isn’t a good idea. It’s often referred to as the most demeaning moment in U.S history.
But let’s be real. Our nation is at its lowest point since its founding. Maybe we can, as a country, use this moment of extreme degradation as alcoholics refer to as “hitting rock bottom.”
