Post #6686 M: Remy: It's Raining Men; Alex Epstein: The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels; Fiscal Collapse Accelerates

 Quote of the Day

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. 

Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. 

Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. 

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. 

Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs

Post #5077 M: Woods on the Green New Deal

 Quote of the Day

History affords us many instances of the ruin of states, 

by the prosecution of measures ill suited 

to the temper and genius of their people. 

The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, 

to the prejudice and oppression of another, 

is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. 

An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, 

is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy... 

These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies 

and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed; 

whence a total separation of affections, interests, political obligations, 

and all manner of connections, 

by which the whole state is weakened. 

Benjamin Franklin

Reader Notes

For the fourth consecutive year, I've published over 400 posts. At the current pace I should move to #3 in a week and #1 a month later. Overall reader stats still suck with maybe 80% of posts only reaching single-digit totals; of those reaching double-digits, they tend to be specialty format vs daily miscellany format posts.

No, not an anti-Trump rant. Woods is befuddled by Trump's lack of effort in extending his coalition, his mixed-message staffing, etc.
