Border Carbon Tax: DC Can Do Better – When It Chooses to Do So

One of the very many problems with DC is it almost always remans steadfastly unconcerned with reality.  Which is inherent in anything government – and especially so when the government is as HUGE as is ours. To wit: Government doesn’t have to earn a dime.  Everything it spends – it

Big Tech IP Theft: We Get a Second Bite at Larcenous Apple. Such As It

Big Tech is SOOOO big…they can do pretty much whatever they want – regardless of its illegality – and get away with it. This is most especially damaging when it comes to Big Tech’s huge heists of Intellectual Property (IP). IP theft undermines the future of all things economic.  Because

5G and China: The Private Sector Needs More Licensed Spectrum, Please

US wireless spectrum policy is, of course, subject to the same crony destructiveness as is anything else subjected to DC’s massive, all-encompassing involvement in our existences.

Those Who Don’t Know History Are Doomed to Look Exceedingly Unintelligent

I get why The Elite peddle Socialism-Communism-Collectivism.  They know it’s a terrible system that has murdered 100+ million people and left trillions destitute.  But they know they will be inside the castle when the drawbridges go up and the world comes crashing down.  So their lives will be unaffected –
