Monday roundup
It's looking more and more like the U.S. is pulling strings "behind the scenes" for a regime change. "For their own good" of course. America has a long history of doing that.
The free market does things better, faster, and with more distribution than government. The reason is simple, there is a profit in it. No politico or technocrat can do it better without massive subsidies and regulation and taxes.
“Global food police want to treat meat and sugar products like tobacco.”Facebook is not a good company. Facebook's business is selling information about you. Even the "services" that they provide are not good for you because those services are not under your control, no matter what the settings are.
“If Trump wants to negotiate good deals for taxpayers, he should start putting some pressure on his old nemesis: the National Football League.”“Clint Bolick, a co-founder of the Institute for Justice, was for years one of the libertarian movement's most successful trial lawyers.”If it's bad for other nations to meddle in American politics and elections, is't it bad for the U.S. to meddle in other nations?
This is a Good Thing. The Clintons have been disrupting Democrat politics almost thirty years. The DNC needs leadership that doesn't have the Clinton fingerprints all over it.
Nailed it. The real question is why do we assume that American intervention is a good and noble thing?
Climate change crisis crowd claims civilization caused catastrophic conversions.
Cryptocurrency could do more for civilization than the printing press.
If people knew how tight the relationship between government and social media was, politicos would be decorating lampposts and not in a good way. You got screwed, and then someone else sold your data.
This won't end well. Americans don't like lectures with their entertainment. Expect backlash against these companies. Expect the companies to be absolutely clueless about why the backlash happened.
