Challenging the Status Quo

I am firmly in the camp to end the war on drugs, so I see this as an excellent proposal.   It doesn’t quite go far enough in cutting 100% but I’ll take a 95% reduction in any and every government office.
 “Rational doesn’t mean easy to get along with.”

“None of this is to say that Kim’s actions are not morally abhorrent. But there’s a logic to them that can be discerned quite clearly by experts.”




Vox is easy to disagree with – they are a pretty strong left wing hack of a news source.  This article, however is correct.  We try to escape a solid discussion saying North Korea is run by a lunatic.  This may be true but his love for nuclear weapons make him the most rational dictator in the world today.  It is the only thing that has kept the US from attempting (too blatantly) trying to assassinate him.  He might be a nut but then again, he might not be.  Kind of hard to know if we won’t even talk with him.
A slice,

The worst part of Venezuela’s tragedy is that it was so obviously predictable. Economists familiar with the work of Ludwig von Mises understood the necessary results of socialist policies. A sound money and freely floating prices provide a society with functioning markets that deliver the goods to the people. The market economy is true populism.”
