It's About Climate Change
If you want to know what the future holds, consider two words -- climate change. Glen Pearson writes: With all the unprecedented challenges facing today’s world, nothing compares to the ravages of climate change. The argument as to whether the coming disaster is caused by human activity has now been eclipsed by the ongoing string of climate emergencies that plague every part of the globe. Despite this, one of the world’s great governments could only muster a few dozen politicians for a climate briefing. The melting of glaciers, droughts, floods, forest fires, rising ocean level... read more

The End of Western Civilization – Why It Lacks Resilience, and What Will Take Its Place
By Michael Hudson The greatest challenge facing societies has always been how to conduct trade and credit without letting merchants and creditors make money by exploiting their customers and debtors. All antiquity recognized that the drive to acquire money is addictive and indeed tends to be exploitative and hence socially injurious. The moral values of most societies opposed selfishness, above all in the form of avarice and wealth addiction, which the Greeks called philarguria – love of money, silver-mania. Individuals and families indulging in conspicuous consumption te... read more

Big Green policies destroying national park
Washington Examiner: As a wildfire rages in the iconic Yosemite National Park, "green" federal policies are being blamed for adding literal fuel to the fire.

What's a dollar or two between friends?
