Mechanical is better
A passionate defense of informal justice by Michael Moore: = = = = = START QUOTE: Yes, I condemn murder, and that’s why I condemn America’s broken, vile, rapacious, bloodthirsty, unethical, immoral health care industry and I condemn every one of the CEOs who are in charge of it and I condemn every politician who…

Reprint on MECHANICAL laws
Continuing from previous item, reprinting this piece on the specific subject from 2021. Real profit works mechanically when the mechanism is set up to increase profit for the whole business or the whole government. The setup fails when the mechanism makes a single exception for the billionaires who STEAL profit and taxes from the business…

Business makes civilization
Right now the Democrat establishment is showing what happens when you’re accustomed to dealing with only one customer, the government. If any of them had ever WORKED in a real business, let alone RUN a business, they couldn’t hold this attitude. When you depend on customers you can’t afford to piss off half the customers…

Mutual is NOT dead.
While researching IOOF for Eureka Lake I realized that the IOOF is NOT dead yet. It hasn’t devolved into a drinking club or sold out to commercial insurance firms like most other societies. It still runs modern retirement homes in at least three states, and has active lodges and new members in many cities. Trinity…

Law of human nature
A redditor posted this pic of a dusty old Comptometer, and described it as a typewriter. Commenters instantly piled on, some saying it was a calculator, others correctly identifying it as a Comptometer. Then somebody observed: Cunningham’s Law: To find an answer, don’t ask for a solution. Instead, post the wrong one. People who wouldn’t…

We’re supposed to waste our emotions
As usual we have dozens of overdoses every day, some fatal. There are two responses. Dark humor and caring. Dark humor is winning, as more and more people realize that caring is a fraud. Media and rulers want us to CARE about everything so they can feed our caring with solutions that make things worse.…

Pic worth 1000 busted eardrums
Vintage.es has some pix of East Boston after Logan Airport was built next door. Impressive testimony to the disruptive power of NOISE. Most of the pix show a jet airplane taking off from the airport. The planes are so close you could almost reach up and touch them. Everyone is holding their fingers in their…

Missing the Parkinson point
Most commentators are still starting with the assumption that political parties want to WIN. They’ve been puzzled by the long retention of Biden, who obviously can’t WIN. Wrong assumptions. Political parties don’t even know millions of “voters” exist. We are utterly irrelevant Negative Externalities. Political parties want to please the REAL voters, the dozen billionaires.…

On the end of ends
Cited in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = WW2 ended precisely and meaningfully with VE and VJ day. Deepstate swore NEVER AGAIN to let a war end. From then on, all wars would continue forever, and the agencies and budgets needed to conduct the wars would go on forever. Korea wasn’t meant…

Started later there
Worth reading! A detailed history from a former British government official in charge of science grants. Briefly: Until 1997, Britain made grants the right way, providing an annual ‘block grant’ to each lab or university to use however they wanted. In 1997 the Major admin adopted the US system of single grants awarded competitively for…

Some good info
Lots of good info in this conversation. Why congress is totally useless, who really has the power, when things changed, who changed things. I appreciate people who start with reality. These guests don’t bother with the textbook crap about “legislation” and “branches” and “rights”. They simply talk about what happens in DC. Their overriding rule…
