Keep It Simple Stupid

This comic is great.  We submit that climate change is occurring because we take biased and inaccurate measurements, which we then use in computer models we like while we ignore the ones we don’t like.  Then we apply the output to long-range economic models that have never accurately predicted any economic data.   

So, yes, climate science is definitely still up for debate.

America is twenty trillion dollars in debt.  Yes, $20 plus 13 zeroes.  We can band-aid our problem by cutting the EPA by 5% or negotiating the cost of fighter jet.  We can argue about these cuts in DC and on twitter ad nauseum, but the real hard truth here is that these cuts are mere drops in the bucket compared to our biggest budget line items – the military and the welfare state.

“Ideally, Americans would look squarely at the fact that the U.S. federal government has both an unsustainable welfare state at home AND an unsustainable military empire abroad. Both of these cannot continue ad infinitum.

Something is going to break someday and keeping these two monsters going will only hasten that day.”

The conclusion of this article is the unfortunate truth.

“So we'll either stop this by logically unwinding the military empire first, and giving people a chance to wean off of dependency and return to reality, or we'll wait until reality bites us harder than ever before.

History is replete with examples of people choosing the latter. It's like watching a dog chase its tail.

​But it doesn't have to be that way.”

I ask my millennial peers to claim what’s ours.  Demand our leaders to 1) focus on reducing America’s military role as the World’s Keeper; then 2) reform our social programs by enabling people to be self-reliant, and returning these programs to their roots of safety nets for only those who cannot do for themselves.

Legalizing insider trading is something we can only do in a stateless society. 

My jury is still out on the moral and economic consequences of legalizing insider trading, but I am more than willing to let some group experiment with this.
