One of the very many impediments to getting less government in DC – is inertia. The Deep State – is very, very real. And is filled to overflowing with bureaucrats who want to at the very least maintain the bloated status quo – when not growing government wherever and whenever they can. So when a […]
Everything-Internet mega-company Amazon – is a monstrous beast. As of this writing, its Market Cap is $798 billion. Its owner, Jeff Bezos, is all by himself worth a cool $136 billion (at least until his looming divorce is finalized). Amazon dominates the Internet. Much of that domination has been achieved – by very anti-free market […]
The United States has spent the last decade-plus being extraordinarily stupid when it comes to the protection of Intellectual Property (IP). By that we mean – we have time and again undermined even the most basic IP protections. Leaving the people who create the things upon which our Information Economy – twisting in the wind. […]
The old political paradigm into which DC has spent the last many decades cramming the country – is coming apart at the seams. Busting through, actually. As constituencies jammed into one ideological side or other – are breaking free of their imposed bounds. We are in the midst of a massive, omni-directional realignment. Descriptives and […]
I am beginning to wonder if Amazon has ever done anything straight-shooting and/or above board – to acquire its massive market dominance and cash cap ($744 billion). Amazon Retail for nearly two decades has submarined and strip mined brick-and-mortar competitors by selling nigh everything during the retail-make-or-break Christmas season – at a loss.

Trump To Toughen-Up On China’s Intellectual Property Theft Trump Administration Goes after China over Intellectual Property Trump’s Actions Send a Clear Message: […]
The Donald Trump Administration has done an excellent job of reinvigorating our economy. The administration has done the very necessary bureaucratic forestry of cutting back much of the regulatory underbrush. And Trump and Republicans passed their tax cuts – which were aimed in no small part at people who hire people. Since they’re about the […]
We the People are inordinately tired of watching criminal wrongdoing go unpunished. It is a large part of what we understood – and what then-presidential candidate Donald Trump meant – when Trump politically coined the term “Drain the Swamp.” Oft when Trump delivered this particular catch phrase – the crowd responded with “Lock Her Up.” […]
The Barack Obama Administration was awful for America, We the People – and the public policies that make the awfulness possible. In ways and directions too numerous to count. America is (allegedly, supposed to be) a free market economy. To make it work – We the People need money. Capital – to fuel the capitalism. […]
