Artificial central planners claim to know best. They pontificate endlessly over models, and theories, which at their core, are nothing but claptrap designed to enable politicians to spend recklessly without consequences, all for the SOLE purpose of maintaining the power structure of the elite...

California, some say, was ground zero for the housing crisis brought about from reckless lending to unqualified borrowers. I say it was the natural, rational outcome created by the reckless...

It is so obvious, and so apparent, that I wonder why commentators have only now seen fit to say something.

“It” of course, being the prounoun referencing the gold spread and the insane...

I only have time for a quick one. This is a follow up to my earlier report that meddling local government workers tried to shut down one of my beloved condiment makers, Huy Fong foods, which manufactures Sriracha hot sauce.

The story is simple: after citizen complaints of strong odors,...

Here in California, one is barraged with idiocy, constantly and incessantly. If one steps back from the managed news, and asks critical questions, it even becomes comical, of not enjoyable, to see the simple human condition in its perfect, rational form befuddle the central planners.
