Friday Links

Harry Hoosier is the genesis of the nickname “Hoosiers” of Indiana.  He was a black evangelical preacher that was apparently the best of the day.  He didn’t like to preach where others did, so he went west – at the time meaning none other than Indiana.
Bigger story here, Malcolm X is not a black hero. Neither is Al Sharpton or any other race hustler of today.  The people named in this article were truly extraordinary folks.

Jacob Hornberger makes an excellent point.  We can’t even keep drugs out of prison.  What makes Trump and others think more enforcement will successfully keep drugs out of the US more broadly.   The laws of supply and demand cannot be repealed or unfollowed.    #TeachBetterChoices #Decrease Demand

AV à  The two industries in America that have entirely too many people working in them are healthcare and finance.  Ironically I am involved in both.

This is a cool way to explain the confirmation process of cabinet picks.  Props to WaPo.  (I didn’t read it I just looked at the charts so offer no comments currently on the writing.)

Why are healthcare prices so high?  Because we subsidize insurance.
 What did we do in 2010 to help people that could no longer afford healthcare?  We subsidized more health insurance! 

Repeating the same decisions and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity!  IMO, politicians are scoundrels.
