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 […]
I don’t personally know The Washington Examiner’s Tom Rogan. But from what I’ve seen on television and in writing, I like the guy. He isn’t a Never Trumper. Which in and of itself is a solid “A” on a personal test for me. He routinely defends the eminently defensible President Donald Trump. Which is another […]
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. Most scientific research is funded by government grants….” And he who pays the […]
One of the very MANY problems with government regulating the private sector – is it immediately halts or severely retards private sector progress. For the regulations to be even remotely pertinent – the private sector must be forced to remain exactly as it is. So as to allow titanically slow government – to keep up […]
The Left has spent the last five decades rigidly insisting the world was on the verge of imminent climactic collapse. We are constantly on the verge of warming ourselves into mass extinction. Dig this – from June, 1989: U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked: “A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could […]
