Climate Risk
How we’ve mischaracterized it.
I’ve noticed that in public-policy areas in which we do a crap job of risk assessment/tradeoffs, it is areas in which there are policy agendas independent of the actual issues.
The Hatred Of Democrats By Rurals
…has reached Biblical levels.
To be fair, it’s well-earned hatred.
Civil Rights Laws
…are not “undemocratic.”
Lileks
I haven’t linked him in a while, but he has a nice remembrance of PJ, and some tart commentary on the mask Nazis.
Good NASA Versus Bad NASA
I’m supposedly quoted in this piece (or at least I gave Jim some suggestions), but unfortunately, it’s behind a paywall.
The Crazy Years
Thoughts on the dangers of ideology.
Clinton’s Crimes
…were worse than we thought.
And some of us thought they were pretty bad. This is vastly worse than Watergate, which is why the media is trying to ignore it.
News For The Elite
A review of a book about the class warfare being waged by the media.
The Lie That Was Covid
Bob Zimmerman lays it out:
Since day one of the epidemic practically every policy decision by government and the largely Democratic academic community has been based on lies. And those lies caused the initial response to COVID to be wrong and misguided. It was panicked, thoughtless, based on very flawed models rather than the actual data, and did far more harm than good. The later and continuing mandates requiring the COVID shots and masks to keep one’s job, to fly on airplanes, to cross borders, to even go to school or attend public events, are even more insane, based not on the now long-known facts but on lies and fear and the urge by those in power to wield that power corruptly.
It is long past time for everyone to stop buying into these lies.
Indeed.
