…have become bumper-sticker climate science.
The Latest Economic Insanity From California
I don’t know much much more we’re going to be able to take this nonsense.
The Evolution Of Choo Choos
This article strikes me as bizarre and ignorant of the history of railroads. How can one talk about why we no longer have steam locomotives without talking about diesel locomotives? It’s like asking why we no longer use sail for cargo ships. Though, some people want to reinvent that, because climate.
Pushback
One doctor’s experience offers a ray of hope.
It’s all about the facts.

I’m finally getting around to reading the whole thing. I found this amusing: “In the future, Virgin Galactic aims to use its advanced technologies to manufacture aircraft capable of high-speed point-to-point travel.

What “advanced technologies”?
Overdue
Ed Driscoll reviews a new documentary about Apollo 8.
That event, not Apollo 11, is when we won the race, because the Soviets quietly threw in the towel at that point, pretending that they’d never been racing.
The Economy Gets Wrung Out
Yes, it’s going to get worse before it gets better, but it will present opportunities if you have money.
[Afternoon update]
I agree with Glenn that we’re already in one. Politically, the question is what will be the state of the economy going into the election a year a half from now>
“Hispanic”
No, OMB, that is not a race.
As Bernstein points out in his book, America’s official system of racial classification is absurd, and should be pointless and play no role in government policy.
California From The Inside
“How I knew they were lying.”
Slight quibble: Beverly Hills is east of the 405.
A Re-Declaration Of Independence
I’m with Jeff Goldstein. The woke hate the original declaration, and the Constitution.
[Update late morning]
“Woke” is real, and it’s dangerous. Yes, and we need to fight it tooth and nail.
