Oh Greta

Environmentalism is for rich white people, and so is life without religion.

If climate change activists were serious, they wouldn't have its spokeswoman be a 16 year old girl. It reveals their madness, not their rationality.

I'm interested in how the powers that want to take radical political steps to combat climate change have their personal money invested. If anyone who believes the world will end in 10 years has any SP500 funds, I'm not believing them.

Why Doesn't This Surprise Me

Climate change protestors leave NYC a mess.

I'm all in favor of preserving the environment in a reasonable, orderly manner, but I'm not in favor of indulging the neurosis of thousands of privileged liberals.

Rent Control

If there's one thing economists all agree upon, it's rent control is a very, very bad idea.

So naturally, California has passed a state wide rent control bill.

It will exacerbate housing problems in the long run and help those who passed it get reelected in the short run by buying off renters.
0% Interest Rates

Trump calling for 0% interest rates seems to me something a radical Leftist or someone who believes in Sharia Law might say.

Not a good sign for the direction of the world, but I suppose this is what you get when the elites game the system to their own advantage. The masses will fight back.

Are We Supposed To Be Surprised?

Walter Mosley - one of the most prominent working black novelists - is fired from a writer's room for using words that made other writers uncomfortable.

The absurdity is beyond.
Unabomber Manifesto

A strange read.

Please don't take this as an endorsement of mass murder, but everything he says in the manifesto is more true today than when he wrote it in 1995. Sometimes like 4-5x true. Take that as you will.
Wellness At Work

Turns out employees don't need so many wellness benefits to be happy.

I go the other way on this and would correlate wellness benefits with workers being UNHAPPY. What workers need:

1) Good paycheck
2) Autonomy
3) Feedback
4) Coffee
5) Clean bathrooms
6) A little space

The rest is bullshit. I have a benefit at work like flex spending for childcare. Fine, I save in taxes, but it takes effort and work to fill out reimbursement forms. I need much much less of that kind of shit and would rather just take a bigger paycheck and or a higher IRA match. Keep it simple, stupid.
