They’ve been making war on us for decades and, as FDR said, they should be abolished as an atrocity against the taxpayer.

This seems related: how the National Labor Relations Act was written by a stealth communist.
Color me shocked. It’s one of those many federal laws that need repealing.
Is that what all the race baiting is about?
You can only defy economic gravity for so long. And California is on the same, course, as is the country itself, if we don’t come up with new policies.
Some thoughts on elite privileges, from Megan McArdle (who is now blogging at Bloomberg).
As someone who fast passed at California Adventure on Monday (without paying extra, I might add), I didn’t notice this phenomenon. But perhaps it’s different, because they aren’t rationing by price, but instead by first-come, first served.
It hasn’t for decades. Its profligacy has finally caught up with it.
“…it would look like Detroit.”
The latest analysis of the programmatic disaster to come. With bonus Orion problems.
This is simply insane.
Another 787 has caught fire, at Heathrow. Here is some BBC video. Fortunately, no one aboard, and it was on the ground. As noted, they are announcing there that another Dreamliner has just returned to Manchester, though its unclear if the incidents are related.
…allows trees to get by on less water. Of course, this can’t possibly be allowed to be good news:
The immense volume of water that trees pull out of the ground winds up in the atmosphere, helping supply moisture to farming areas downwind of forests. So if trees use less water, that could ultimately mean less rain for thirsty crops in at least some regions of the world.
It could mean lots of things — good, bad and indifferent — and the vast majority of them unpredictable, given the non-linear nature of the equations and our lack of understanding of the complexity of all the interactions, which is why it’s crazy to be attempting to make costly public policy on the presumption that Carbon Is Evil.
Some thoughts (mostly in comments):
The idea of going to a theme park, on your parents’ dime, with fashionable political fear, having undertaken no scholarly preparation…every single thing about this enterprise seemed wrong.
And expensive and destructive. We have a generation that’s putting off home buying and starting a family because they wasted tens of thousands on either useless degrees or (worse yet) never graduated at all.
