A fortnight ago we yet again addressed the truism: Bad ideas never die – because there will always be government programs. Britain’s Labour Party Says They’ll Have Government Seize Private Broadband Networks: “Behold – from the Olde Country: “‘Britain’s opposition Labour Party plans to nationalise BT’s broadband network to provide free internet for all if […]
I like a lot of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – aka the President Donald Trump Tax Cuts. Likely my favorite part – was the $10,000 cap on State and Local Tax Deductions (SALT): “The state and local tax (SALT) deduction allows taxpayers of high-tax states to deduct local tax payments on their […]
And so does the US Left. Though our Democrat Party is still playing it a little more coy. Behold – from the Olde Country: “Britain’s opposition Labour Party plans to nationalise BT’s broadband network to provide free internet for all if it wins power, making a radical election pledge to roll back 35 years of […]
In politics and policy, as in all things – size matters. Small numbers – are smaller than big numbers. To wit: Fake Indian and Democrat Senator/presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren – just received an endorsement for her effort to garner a promotion. Warren Campaign Wins the Endorsement of Black Womxn For: “On Thursday, she snagged an […]

Because DC is $4.5-trillion-per-year-in-spending and $1+-trillion-in-regulating – that is mostly antithetical to the Constitution. Behold the relevant portion of the Constitution’s First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people peaceably…to […]
Today’s thought foray – requires us to define a few terms. First: Internet Service Providers (ISPs): The companies that have in the last quarter-century invested more than a trillion dollars – building the actual Internet. Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner, AT&T, etc. The companies that laid the Information Superhighway – upon which all the rest of […]
The answer to everything even remotely policy-related – is less government. Because the original sin of everything even remotely policy-related – is too much government. Want to solve our health care “crisis” – ??? Undo the original government sins. After World War II – taxes were kept at during-WW II levels. So in an end […]
President Donald Trump early Monday morning Tweeted: “We just WON the big court case on Net Neutrality Rules! A great win for the future and speed of the internet. Will lead to many big things including 5G. Congratulations to the FCC and its Chairman, Ajit Pai!” All of which is absolutely correct. The US Court […]
One of the largest, ongoing, rolling government scams? Using taxpayer money to fund “research” – so as to generate “studies.” And governments spend a LOT of our money – on “research” to generate “studies.” Who Pays for Science?: “Today, we all do.
