By Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Jonah E. Bromwich New York Times Former Gov. Andrew M.

This is a pretty good discussion of the relationship between supply chains and inflation, but one important thing he is leaving out is the relationship between unstable supply chains and pandemic lockdowns.

I’ve long thought that class struggle would make a comeback as class divisions widen, although I am skeptical about the efficacy of a labor movement in an economy where labor is transient and capital is highly mobile. Folks like Kyle Kulinski hope to replace culture war politics with […]
My most recent appearance on Cotto/Gottfried. Listen here.
A lot more people seem to be getting a lot more pissed off.
This is an interesting discussion from 2013. Obviously, things are even further along now than they were then. I agree with much of what Hedges says here although it’s a little too reformist for my tastes.
In other words, a third of the country thinks the present administration cheated its way into office. It would probably be the same if Trump had won. This is big news. The state is losing legitimacy. Thirty-five percent of registered voters said the results of the 2020 presidential […]

Jason Unruhe gets in VC to debate Haz on American patriotism, third worldism, revolution, and more.

[…]
An unpopular opinion. Tankies are just the Eastern world’s version of Republicans. I agree with most tankie criticisms of Western imperialism, even if their own perspective is horrid.

By Bonnie Kristian, The Week Tuesday is the 20th anniversary of the Patriot Act, the sweeping authorization of invasive federal surveillance powers passed shortly after the 9/11 attacks of 2001. Congress should observe the two-decade mark by starting work to repeal the law in full. Much like the […]
By Ryan Cooper, The Week A class of Americans has become lazy and entitled. Too used to a government that caters to their every whim, they’re facing a difficult situation not with grit and determination, but by throwing tantrums and demanding special treatment. That’s right, I’m talking about […]
By Joel Mathis, The Week The MAGA movement is looking like a coalition of problematic men. Herschel Walker has Donald Trump’s endorsement. So do Sean Parnell and Max Miller. Eric Greitens doesn’t have Trump’s official backing — so far at least — but he’s presenting himself to the […]
By Samuel Goldman, The Week How to escape the snowflake wars. This fall has been unseasonably warm, but there are snowflakes in the air.

An old piece by Murray Rothbard from 1961.

This article (from 2016) illustrates the limitations of conventional leftist class analysis. The left always seems to assume that the right-wing of the ruling class is the entirety of the ruling class. Yes, there are right-wing sectors in the ruling class that fund “anti-PC” movements. Yes, there are […]
I generally couldn’t care less if elections are “stolen” or not because I view elections as the equivalent of casinos: The house is always the ultimate winner irrespective of the players and their individual outcomes. But what is interesting is the way that the two sides increasingly view […]

I’d argue this case is more a matter of class privilege than race privilege. There are cases of rich white kids getting away with rape or killing multiple people in a DUI, while there was a case of a black kid being left at Rikers’ Island for three […]
By Lenore Skenazy Reason The myth of the candy poisoner Dear police: Can you please stop telling parents to check their kids’ Halloween candy for drugs? Urging tens of millions of Americans to look for something that isn’t there is completely pointless, yet every Halloween, the authorities do […]
