The Socialist Temptation
Last time I was in DC, a couple weeks ago, I tried to have lunch with Iain Murray, but it turned out that he wasn’t downtown, but was at home writing a forthcoming book.
It seems a little spendy, though, if you want to get young people to read it (which should be the goal). Maybe they’ll also have an ebook.

If you click here, you’ll tell the publisher that you’d like to see a Kindle edition.
Secrecy
How do we survive it?
A Climate Blacklist
…that works. Let’s make her “unhirable in academia.”
These are the people who should be sued for defamation.
Seattle
…and its “liberal” reckoning. Your occasional reminder that there is nothing liberal about these kinds of policies.
BTW, I’ve been tied up with something for the past three days, to explain the non-posting.
California’s War On The Gig Economy
The Democrats in the House wants to make the brutality national.
I was approached by a guy in the Costco parking lot the other day with a petition to repeal AB5. I happily signed it (though I’m not registered to vote in CA).

As I’ve often said, if we don’t know why we’re doing something, it’s not possible to come up with a sensible way to do it.
The Coastal States

I hope, at some point soon, there will be a backlash in California. I don’t want to have to leave to be free.
BTW, I was in DC all week, but back now.
SLS
Nothing new to readers of this web site, but Eli Dourado has a good history of the mess.
Axiom
I got up at O Dark Thirty this morning to catch a flight to DC for the Space Transportation conference tomorrow, and haven’t had a lot of time to catch up on news, But Bob Zimmerman has thoughts on the announcement.
One of the reasons I left Rockwell over a quarter of a century ago was that it had become clear to me that they were never going to do anything commercial in space. It annoyed management when I told them this, but they knew it was true; they weren’t in the space business, they were in the government-contracting business. We’ll see how this goes.
