'Ban the Box' Goes to College
. . . from doing everything they can to allow it to become a cesspit of rape, and criminality. "The long-running “Ban the Box” campaign is now gaining ground at colleges and universities. The movement aims to protect job, and now student, applicants from being asked about their criminal histories and was recently bolstered by President Obama, who is taking executive action to ban the practice at federal agencies." Shocking, an in the tank Socialist makes the wrong decision! This will have positive results at university I am sure. What could happen?

. . . but we do. After all Bjorn Lomborg assembled a team of 50 top economists called the Copenhagen Consensus to determine where $75 billion would do the most good. How to Spend $75 Billion to Fix the World It wasn't wind farms, or electric cars, or any of the other silly progressive fantasies. Please read the article, then go and buy the book. Really, put a few dollars in Lomborg's pocket, he is doing yeoman's work changing how we think about, and understand climate change, and resources. How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place Paperback – March 1, 2014 by Bjorn Lomborg Once you are finished with that book, go buy, and read all of Lomborg's books. They are available at Amazon. Just click his name at the link above and it will take you to a full listing of all his writings. On the other hand, environmentalists would shunt money to electric cars which are only affordable by the uber wealthy, likely increasing the rebate so millionaires can drive in style without giving their accountants heart attacks. Or shunt money to firms like Solyndra, or SunEdison. Yes. Solyndra is bankrupt and defunct, SunEdison is in the process. These people simply have no idea how to spend this money, and will likely spend it either politically, or lavishly on projects they, or their friends will make money from. Stick advice from someone like Lomborg.

. . . don't call us, we'll call you, don't let the door slap your ass on the way out. Pikers! Dear US government, more please, and faster! This is how to negotiate with China over the South China Sea issue. Now let's do a second verse of this song with the Philippines. Yes, we need to remain in control of this technology, but still, expanding it to the others in the anti-China coalition in the South China Sea will put pressure on China to act in a mature, reasonable manner. We need to have Congress hold hearings on whether we should end the Chinese Most Favored Trading Nation status as well. We don't need to go to the trouble actually cutting China loose, but they could use some pressure. As for Russia, I don't much care, it is a dying nation with a truly tiny economy, which has ensnared itself in Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Syria, among other places. It's actions are making it a pariah among pretty much every other nation bordering it, and among the first world nations. Putin is settling into dictatorshiplite nicely. And it is entering an existential recession/depression due to its economy being all but entirely reliant on energy. The Hollow Men Smile and wave, it might be your last chance. Instapundit
"Saying that such a dialogue was essential to the college’s academic mission, Trescott University president Kevin Abrams confirmed Monday that the school encourages a lively exchange of one idea. “As an institution of higher learning, we recognize that it’s inevitable that certain contentious topics will come up from time to time, and when they do, we want to create an atmosphere where both students and faculty feel comfortable voicing a single homogeneous opinion,” said Abrams, adding that no matter the subject, anyone on campus is always welcome to add their support to the accepted consensus." Either this is brilliant Onion satire, or the end of the Onion, if real how could one satirize this? Future historians will have a devil of a time figuring out what happened to cause such a large proportion of the Academe to simply fall into fascist totalitarian mental illness.

. . . an event which deeply hurts the poor, and lower middle class. Don't worry, our local governments are not going to change course just to help keep our poor out of the poor house, No siree! Our local governments will stick to their destructive zoning, growth, and services boundary laws regardless of the consequences for the poor, the lower class, and even the middle class. Just take a look at San Francisco where you will see anyone earning less than $200,000 is pretty much boxed out of the home ownership racket. Rental inflation is driven by a lack of developable land proximate to where people would like to live. This is commonly a false problem driven primarily by zoning and land use laws.
