Well, that is stunning. Layers and layers of fact-checking or eggs I cannot tell which at this point, and they get something this simple this wrong? Oh, and nice sentence. How much are the NPR editors paid anyway? If this were a one-horse blog producing 50,000 words of content per week I could understand, but it is not, it is a huge publishing machine with writers, editors and fact checkers all seemingly asleep at the switch. Nap well Rip van Winkle, er NPR.

America does not have a gun crime problem, Democratic-controlled cities have a gun crime problem3/31/2018 America doesn't have a gun violence epidemic. Democrat cities do.
Before you read on, read the entire article. Were I a conspiracy theorist I would believe that the Dems created the gun crime epidemic in the cities to enable them to eliminate the Second Amendment. I do not think that this the reason the Democrats do not address inner-city gun crime. But it works in their favor about eliminating the Second Amendment. More below. Uber's fatal self-driving car accident is the reason why we don't let companies make their own rules
No. Government regulations make us feel better; they provide jobs to people who do little and are paid well. We don't feel too restricted by the regulations, and we are willing to believe the BS that rules are effective. There is scant evidence that regulations are ever effective. More below. Facing Multiple Legal Probes, Fired FBI Deputy Director McCabe Sets Up GoFundMe Legal Defense Fund
I do not know all of McCabe's crimes, but I expect perjury and obstruction of justice to be front-running the lot. McCabe is in hot water. His summary suspension after the Director found out what he had done, then asked for, but did not receive an explanation. That Wade got bupkis is a good indicator of how deep the doo-doo. McCabe was unwilling to fess up because he knew he would be immediately fired and investigated. Instead, McCabe tried to sneak into his retirement the back way but that did not work, and he was fired. Danny Glover Praises Health Care of Socialist Country w/No Medicine

Competition is a harsh mistress. Corporations talk big about how they like competition, but the dirty secret is they hate competition. This is why so often corporations use government to limit their competitors. Walmart plays in the same sandbox as Amazon, both are publically traded corporations, but Amazons stockholders do not demand dividends. This drive Walmart mad. Walmart's stockholders demand dividends, and so Walmart must produce profits. If they do not, their stockholders will go elsewhere. Amazon, free of this binding constraint, is free to reinvest its profits in lower prices, improving, and expanding the business. Walmart is playing Trump to get him to take action against Amazon. This is anti-American capitalism. Trump is an idiot when it comes to economics and free markets. He has a 250 year out of date understanding of economics and no understanding of free-market economics. Amazon is forcing change in the retail sector, change which has been needed for many decades. Trump with Walmart and likely other old-line brick and mortar companies will try to bind Amazon. This is the worst thing that could happen to the retail marketplace. HMM: DA won’t say whether charges are being considered for officers who killed Stephon Clark. …
"Plus, The Police Shooting of Stephon Clark Is Deeply Problematic. I don’t know whether the shooting was justified, though it looks very much like it wasn’t. But I do know that if an armed citizen, rather than a police officer, had shot someone under similar circumstances, there wouldn’t be any doubt about filing charges. I understand that sometimes the decision to shoot is easy to second-guess, but the standard should be the same — in theory, the law is the same — whether it’s a police officer or a civilian doing the shooting. In fact, of course, police get special treatment, because they’re an arm of the state, just like the judges and prosecutors involved are." More below.
