Who dunnit?

Remember folks, when the stuff hits the fan, it wasn't your friends, neighbors, family or other citizens that caused the problems, it was The Government. --L. Reichard White, Monday, September 30, 2013 5:15 AM

"Unfettered Capitalism" - - -

"Unfettered Capitalism" = protected from competition -- usually by "regulation" -- (and/or subsidy) by a government. Otherwise "capitalists" are seriously fettered by "we the customers." Which is why the capitalists engineer protection -- usually by regulation -- (and/or subsidies) from a government.  --L. Reichard White, Saturday, July 20, 2013 10:54 AM
P.S. This is the ultimate result of what, when applied to bank bailouts, is called "moral hazard" as businesses learn how to get governments to underwrite their operations -- using taxpayers' money.

Where Chaos Comes From

Chaos doesn't come from folks with many different ideas, it comes when someone tries to impose one of those ideas on everyone.  --L. Reichard White, Friday, July 05, 2013 11:31 AM

What controls governments?

Customers control businesses -- and can put them out of business by not patronizing them anymore.  What exerts the same control over governments?  --L. Reichard White, Friday, March 08, 2013 12:56 PM

What happened?

When I was growing up, hitmen, snipers and spies were bad guys -- and whistle-blowers and hackers were good guys. What happened? --L. Reichard White, December 20, 2012, 17:24:01

The Goering Protocol

"Why of course the people don't want war. ...That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." --Chief Nazi Hermann Goering

The wisdom of crowds??

Seems like the twitter/facebook collective may be "smarter" than everyone thinks - - -  --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, August 22, 2012 7:38 AM

You've got the wrong idea

The idea isn't to create jobs, it's to free-up people's time so they can work less.  --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, August 21, 2012 5:42 AM

The OTHER "Trickle-down" theory

The "trickle-down" theory is that if you reduce taxes on the rich, that money will "trickle down" in the form of jobs to the less rich.  The OTHER "trickle-down" theory is that if you give that tax money to the government, it will "trickle down" to the less rich.  --L.

What do YOU do when the emperor's naked?

Have YOU recovered yet?

I rediscovered I could learn on my own when I did my pilot ground school using a "programmed text" instead of an instructor. The main damage done to us by government-style education is it leads you to believe, mistakenly, that you need someone to tell you what to learn, when to learn and how to learn, and then insisting you haven't learned until they say so. 

Have you recovered yet?

Who do YOU believe?

"If God said it, I'd believe it and that would end it. But who told you God said it and why do you believe them?" --L. Reichard White, a LONG time ago
