Yet another variant of COVID-19?
So we have yet another variant of COVID-19 to worry about. Why am I not surprised? And why am I even less surprised by the SHOCK! PANIC! HORROR! reaction of the authorities? They’ll use this new variant to pursue even more of the same VACCINATE! ISOLATE! SUBMIT! OBEY! DON’T THINK FOR YOURSELF! shtick that they’ve been foisting on us since the pandemic began. I'm sure we'll see the rushed development of yet another booster for the vaccine, which we'll all be pressured to take - despite the known *and very serious* health risks associated with the present vaccines.

It’s Time to Learn Real American Economics Part 5
Part 5 — The Anglo-Dutch Financial Empire In 1461, only nine years after the birth of Leonardo da Vinci, Louis XI ascended the throne of France, this at a time when the radiance of the Italian Renaissance was approaching its zenith. The reign of Louis coincided with—and was a lawful product of—that Renaissance. This was the beginning of the modern sovereign nation state and the beginning of modern economics. Louis authored a book, *Le Rosier des Guerres* (“The Rosebush of Wars”), wherein he defined the *raison d'être* of the state to act on behalf of the *Common Good; *to act in s... read more

OUR SILO AND THEIRS: Storyline versus information!
*FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2021* *Information versus names:* Just to be completely fair, Joy Behar actually asked a (very) good question. She did so in the course of a pseudo-conversation on this past Monday's The View. This pseudo-discussion typified the way our tribe responded to last Friday's verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. Behar spoke on ABC; millions of people were watching. At the start of the pseudo-discussion, Whoopi Goldberg played tape of Rittenhouse saying this: *"I'm not a racist person. I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating."* The videotap... read more

The Ahmaud Arbery trial: Justice was served, just as it was in the Rittenhouse trial
I've seen a fair amount of negative comment about the guilty verdicts for the three defendants in the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial. I think such comments are not only misplaced, but display a fundamental misunderstanding of the law in almost every jurisdiction. The law *does not give anyone a license to play vigilante,* which is what the three men just convicted were clearly doing. They admitted as much in their own words. Even worse, from their point of view, they admitted it to police while they were being questioned, but before they had a lawyer to advise them. There's a r... read more

Christmas Gifts: Cash Is Not Necessarily Optimal
Economists are often suspicious of gifts in kind, arguing that the same money value in cash provides more “utility” to the recipient (puts her in a more preferred situation) because she can use the cash to buy what is on top of her preference scale (her “utility function” in economics). If you don’t buy the […] The post Christmas Gifts: Cash Is Not Necessarily Optimal appeared first on Econlib. read more

U.S. Commerce Dept.: 85% of Fake Christmas Trees Come From China, Made From Carcinogens, Toxins and Lead (What You Can Do to Minimize the Risks)
During the festive spirit of the Christmas and holiday season, the last thing most of us want to do is think about negative things and worry about toxins. That being said, it’s important to be aware of the risks that come with cheap Christmas and other holiday products, especially considering how often young children come into contact with them. Artificial Christmas trees, while not an obvious health concern to most people, contain hazardous plastics that may compromise human health with prolonged exposure.

Is Court Packing of the US Supreme Court Justified?
Rivka Weill There is a deep sense of crisis regarding the US Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) legitimacy. President Biden has tasked a Commission with reviewing and recommending possible reforms to restore the Court’s legitimacy. My argument in *Court Packing as an Antidote* based on an examination of all Supreme Court nominations and confirmations during a presidential election year is twofold: (1) There was serious abuse of the appointment process involved in the Senate’s treatment of the SCOTUS nominations of Judges Merrick Garland and Amy Coney Barrett. (2) The remedy, by original co... read more

Joe Biden and the Broken Promise of Normalcy
*Fred Lucas* *Politics, United States* The promise of back to normal—as a virtue in and of itself—doesn’t seem to have paid off quite so well in 1920 or 2020. Last year’s presidential campaign invited some comparisons to the presidential election 100 years earlier in which “normalcy” was core to the debate. More than a year after Joe Biden’s election, the same comparison highlights the failed promise of normal then and now. Rep.

Last week, President Joe Biden held a high-profile virtual summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
