Good for Delaware!
Via RealClear: The major bitcoin fraudster Coinbase played the usual corporate trick of incorporating in Delaware because Delaware has rigged its laws to favor tax evaders and fraudsters. Amazingly, Delaware has finally lost its patience with the worst criminals. WSJ has an “editorial” written by Coinbase’s head criminal. His words in bold followed by interlinear…

Trade can be mutual
I’ve been trying to track the Russian/US alliance before we went permanently crazy in 1946. It’s frustrating! Clearly there were commercial connections after the Revolution, but official documents and most online info either miss or downplay the commercial side, emphasizing our undying hatred for Russia whether it’s called “communist” or “authoritarian”. We hate Russia because…

Halfway Fairness Doctrine kudos
The local newspaper has done a halfway decent job of exposing the crime-loving city’s fraudulent fakery. Unfortunately the headline doesn’t match the article. The headline would lead you to think the city is doing something about the homeless mess: City reports street outreach has closed nearly 100 homeless encampments in 10 days When you read…

Another answer
Previous item repeated Carver’s answer to Machiavelli. Now repeat Henry Ford’s answer. = = = = = START FORD ANSWER: This 1935 Ford promotional film starts with a long florid speech by a pompous grandiose announcer, introducing an important address by Henry Ford himself! Mr Ford will announce the company’s way of countering the Depression.…

Priority list
If governments want people to listen to crap about “climate” and “diversity” and “zoning”, they will have to do ONE THING first. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control crime. Control…

Fordist wins
Interesting article on local newspapers that still succeed. The top 25 by circulation, mainly digital now, include a few in the expected places like LA and Chicago, but the list is dominated by much smaller cities. The author notes that several of those smaller city papers are owned by the Newhouse chain, including Harrisburg. When…

This is why
Protos notes that the bettors in Polymarket are increasing the odds of Jesus returning this year. The odds are still extremely small. It turns out that they’re not really betting on Jesus, they’re working a supercomplex superweird linkage of strategic steps to gain a slight arbitrage advantage. The bet itself isn’t on Jesus: The “odds”…

First answer, second answer
Continuing from previous item. The tech tyrants assure us that reshoring is impossible because an iphone would have to cost three times as much if we made it here. First answer: Well, houses already cost three times as much as they should, and you’re not arguing with house prices. You didn’t prevent Larry Fink from…

Postal employee GETS IT.
One of the post office employees in the USPS reddit section writes: = = = = = We no longer have overnight shipping? The best we have is 2 day “express”, which is the same price as overnight shipping was. At my facility now we also hold outgoing mail until the next day. I’m so…

What happened to the centennial?
Previous item about 100 years of Euro vs US auto production reminded me that Chrysler was supposed to celebrate its fake redated centennial this year. Last year was the real centennial. I wondered then why I wasn’t hearing anything about it. Turns out that Daimler, during the few days it owned Chrysler, redated the founding…

Carney is FDR.
I started the previous item intending to introduce this topic but then skidded off into my usual Ford vs Wall Street rant. The rant is relevant to current news, so I’ll leave it there and try again. Capital is MONEY or PROPERTY that serves to start or expand a business. Property includes land, buildings, tools,…

Now he’s talking REAL money.
Wall Street wasn’t paying much attention to Trump’s attacks on Canada and Mexico. We run some offshore factories there, but not in IMPORTANT industries. We only make appliances and parts of cars there. Nobody we know uses appliances or cars. Our illegal immigrant maids and drivers use those trivial things. The IMPORTANT industries are the…

When you’re the mouse (2021 reprint)
Linked in previous item on Columbia University vs ElonTrump. This overlong piece was written in 2021 at the height of Trump’s PREVIOUS monstrosity. One thing has changed for the better. At that time the Weather Bureau was still doing the wrong thing, hammering Gaia and losing the trust of the people. Since then they’ve figured…

Easy to see, hard to see
Random thought that seems pretty good at the moment. Our main problem now is not monopolies on selling, it’s monopolies on buying. (Yes, I know it’s called a monopsony, but that’s an Economist Word and I won’t use it.) A monopoly on buying is unfamiliar because most people don’t experience it. It only affects the…

Wish I’d said it…
Saw a splendidly succinct proverb in an online meme: The opposite of depression is expression. I normally say it two ways, both less succinct. MAKE. WALK. Men need to make things. If they can’t make things they will break things. Graybill said it in ornate 1880 style: The people of Free-Trade countries are therefore driven…
