The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity; the main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery – W. Churchill

George Rebane

Amazon Cancels HQ2 Plans in NYC’ – Now here’s a good dose of social justice for the residents of NYC delivered by local socialist politicians who couldn’t stomach the tax incentives the city promised Amazon for bringing in thousands of high-paying jobs.  Some call that cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Mueller’s investigation is wrapping up??? All kinds of rumors are flying around from the imminent termination of the investigation, that most of his lawyers have already been reassigned or left, there will be no final report (at least not one released to the public), to God knows what.  Has any reader found anything that looks like it's definitive and/or reliable out there on the web?

[15feb19 update]  The depth of AOC’s stupidity is yet to be fathomed.  CBS reports that the congresswoman actually believes that NYC has saved $3B, money which it now has and can spend on more teachers, fixing subways, etc, etc, instead of ‘giving away’ to Amazon.  Unbelievable!!  And what can we say about the voters who elected her? – they are at least as stupid as she.  And what can we say about the Dem congressional critters that support her? – they range somewhere between butt stupid and cynical/evil.  And what about all those across the land who are fans of AOC; talk about national dumbth.

[18feb19 update] Taqiya in America appears alive and well.  Our newly-minted Muslim in the House has successfully bamboozled herself out of a little anti-Semitic slip up, and immediately gone on to declare her true colors by agreeing to raise money for an Islamic organization with an iffy relationship to western culture and terrorist organizations.  Daily Caller reports, “Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is scheduled to raise money in March with the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) only a week after she used an anti-Semitic trope to claim Israel has paid for GOP support.”

'Autopsy of a Dead Coup' by Victor Davis Hanson is an excellent summary of our Left's draconian three-year effort to put an end first to candidate Trump, and then to President Trump.  The VDH piece was brought to us by a regular commenter in the last Sandbox's comment stream.  I did not want the link to it to languish there, so I'm making it more prominent here.  As expected, one of our regular liberal readers had no problem assessing the events of that sordid trail of treachery as nothing more than some solid, concerned citizens "exercising their Constitutional duty in evaluating Trumps mental fitness."  (No really, that's what the Left believes has been happening.)

[19feb19 update]  'Hate crimes' list reported by the liberal lamestream media just during the two years of the Trump administration.  When a progressive hates a duly elected President, then let nothing stand in the way of getting him out of office or delegitimizing his administration.

    PaulE 327pm – It is sad. I don’t know how you and Todd et al got into the mudball mode of exchanges. It’s all in the record here, but no one will take the time to dig out who did what first. But it’s clear to see how it continues. I’ve been thinking of the pros and cons of going into a comment moderation mode – the downside clearly is the removal of spontaneity and timeliness of responding to issues that constantly arise in the news. Moderation also requires more work on my part.
    I think RR readers appreciate most the thought out comments and responses, no matter what their ideological basis. And the rest of the exchanges are just kindergarden shit for most readers who have to wade through them to discover something substantive. And there are at least as many conservative as liberal commenters who seem to get their rocks off tossing mindless mudballs back and forth. For me, I don’t mind a sharp repartee thrown into the middle of a substantive reply, but just naked mudballs back and forth doesn’t reflect well on the participants. If you call someone a scumbag, then substantiate it. But he’s not a scumbag just because your pompous ass calls him that.

    Any chance you could moderate in everything but the Sandboxes? Todd and Paul could have their luvfest but the threads with a topic might be spared that extra bit of magic.

    If everyone, including moi, would keep the mess confined to the Sandbox, then all would be much better. Swallows following Todd everywhere Todd J posts on RR to keep a running dialogue going is an example. Keep it in the Sandbox. Sure, there are times one forgets where one is, but if a mud slinging bstarts in the Sandbox then keep it there and wait for Todd to return rather than take the Sandbox conversation to topic posts to get the last word in. There is an old saying that it’s OK to splash in the mud, just don’t splash those around you. If one just has to splash those around him, then do the splashing on others in Sandbox…or at least splash others on topic outside of the Sandbox. This post has 3 topics and none of the topics are Todd J or puffery or high school.

    It seems to me that Ms. O-C is just following a bit of natural human behavior.
    . It’s lots and lots of fun to be newly powerful, be interviewed, be in the middle of things, regardless of whether you know what you are doing or not. Extra bonus points for being fairly young.
    . It’s a lot easier to kill something than it is to make something happen. The New Green Deal will never occur, but it’s comparably trivial to put sticks in spokes.
    As one of the new voices for the Left, you’d think that the local Blue Mob would defend her a bit, but they’ll always fall for the same trap as AOC. The KVMR crack news desk will spend 99% of their words attempting to tear down the arguments of others rather than making their own. Maybe it’s just baked into the cake.

    The Parade of idiots marching off the cliff? Who will be the go over, who will be the first to follow. A little diddy about Cortez and Omar.
    Think AOC has fallen into the trap that has ensnared a long line of people with more talent, prestige, power, influence, and celebrity status than her. That trap is believing one’s own hype. The roving eye of fame is a fickle mistress.. Ilhan Omar has already committed a fatal error by the way she went after Cold War Warrior Elliot Abrams on events that happened 37 years ago and her fierce defense of the current Venezuelan Dictator Loco Maduro. It’s all America’s fault.
    “Regardless, let’s look at the rap on Abrams’ time as a cold warrior. Omar (D-anti-Semite) has accused the Jewish Abrams of supporting “Guatamalan genocide.” She also brought up…… “
    Now, the Deep State of the Party of War remains alive and kicking no matter who is in the WH, no matter who is power, no matter if the particular member of the 5th Branch of the good ole boys club leans a bit left or right. They all have long memories and while Omar was ruthlessly dissing Abrams, Chuck Schumer’s voice came to the forefront of my mind. To paraphrase,
    “You mess with those boys and they have six ways to Sunday to get back at you.”
    Did not sit well with the Establishment. This will not be forgotten. Omar was believing her own hype, her own bull crap, and overstating her own worth. No one is exempt from being expendable. Fewer still are Untouchable.

    Gregory brought this up one time in a brief comment after the release of The New Green Deal…and no comments or feedback. Perhaps he was/is correct, perhaps not.

    PaulEl 347pm – Not at all Paul, but I’m going to leave it as an exercise for you of the socialist poor to figure out why this was not “socialism for the rich” and why the CEO’s compensation was not paid for by the “working class taxpayers”. All you have done here is correlate two disparate monetary events with a good dollop of class envy. Hint: Did not GM behave exactly the way the federal government wanted it to behave through its tax law inducements?
    If you don’t understand that kind of government control, then you should at least understand through self-reflection why socialist countries never permit the generation of wealth, and ultimately must resort to tyranny to control their ever more disconsolate citizens.

    PaulE 443pm – You sound like you don’t know that a subsidy is not government handing its money to a recipient from some existing stash. A subsidy is only a government inducement for the recipient to behave in a desired way by enticing someone to be able to KEEP HIS OWN MONEY instead of paying it to the govt if he didn’t behave in the desired way. I know this is a very sophisticated concept for socialists to understand, because they always believe that all the money in an economy belongs first to the government which some of it its vassals are then allowed to retain .
    There is nothing “worn out” about socialist countries resorting to tyranny, it is part and parcel of humanity’s bloody history. And the notion is as fresh today as it was, say, during the French revolution.
    Socialism is not something from the simplistic progressive concepts of on/off, yes/no, 1/0 that so comforts you and yours. Socialism arrives in a society bit by piece, policy by policy, with the constant siren song that the voter can get something for free, things that are paid for by OPM from less deserving people who for the sake of social justice need to be relieved of it by the govt gun.
    And do I consider that this will happen in western Europe as socialism takes of the means of production and distribution, you bet your sweet ass! And as a test, you will see that it is already happening, as the frogs are being slowly parboiled. As we have discussed many times before, examine the history of each nation’s nationalized healthcare (or energy industry) with respect to its cost and services delivered – guess which one goes up and which goes down.
    Ultimately, when popular grumbling reaches a certain level, to each country will appear a man on a white horse pointing out that the cause of all the suffering comes from this or that ethnic group or simply ‘the rich’ who must be brought to heel so that better times can return. And to make possible such a tasty omelet, a few eggs must be cracked along the way. But somehow, the better times never do return, but the desire for revolution does. Now what do you think the man on the white horse will do when he smells revolution in the air?

This naturally was a bitter disappointment for the roughly 80,000 people who lost their jobs, but once had been promised a bright, green future by politicians who had touted a grand master plan.
    Moreover, almost every single major German producer of solar systems has gone insolvent.
    “The solar transformation has failed. Investors are flocking away in droves because of the cancelled feed-in tariffs/subsidies. New additional installations are hardly taking place. The first installations are now being taken offline and the share of solar power in Germany has fallen under 6 percent. The power consumers, who ended up footing the bill for the solar expansion, will however no longer have to pay as much.”

Heck, Mitt knew GM could reorganize in BK court and keep on keeping on under BK protections. But noo. Mitt tied puppies to the roof of the family wagon and has an elevator for his cars in the garage!!! And he murdered an ex- employee’s wife with cancer six years AFTER Mitt sold the company!! The horrors.
    Should have gone into BK like Mitt said and maybe a helping hand down the road. But Obama stepped in shortly into his first term right after some Green Libertarian voted for the man and, not knowing nuthin’ about economics (save shaking down businesses and banks as a community organizer),Obama stepped in it with OPM…like our money!!
    That is all history now, water under the bridge, or so I thought….until tonight. On any given Sunday…..
    Hey, with Obama in charge, not one Wall Street fat cat went to jail. None lost their bankers’ licenses or licenses to be investors or money changers.
    No jail time from the top to bottom. All walked even the bond rating agencies . All made whole again…by the tax payers!! Heck, we could have bought Canada for that kind of money.
    Obama did not even drive them out of the Temple with a whip like Jesus did. At least G.W. Bush jailed 100 folks and made sure they can never be bankers or evil lenders again after the S&L crisis. To the pokey with them, except McCain. 🙂
    If you want want your liberal blood to boil, watch the Too Big To Jail esposide on Bill Moyers.. if it still is available on line. Oh, found it.
    22 million ain’t even worth picking up off the ground compared to them apples. Too big to jail or too big to fail? I want their heads on a platter! If this keeps up, I, too, will be addicted to outrage, but for a different reason. Have you looked at the last spending bill?
