Another feather in the Millennials’ intellect. They are having a hard time finding places to live – buy, rent – due to the housing shortage and sky-high rents. The cause, invisible to them and their progressive mentors, is nothing but governments at all levels doing their best to regulate open market housing development down to a politically correct trickle. And these dummies keep voting for Democrats.
Liberalism isn’t what it used to be. We conservetarians have known that for some years now, but things are really hitting the fan when liberal national and local columnists are beginning to notice the Democrats’ rush to socialism, and then starting to practice the organizational rites of collectivists in herding their own. These matters are explained by Michael Blechman in the 21jun19 WSJ and our own Darrell Berkheimer in the 22jun19 Union. Meanwhile the local know-nothing lefties continue their vehement denial that they are goose-stepping to Marxism.
Wind and solar energy costs continue to decrease, but making that electricity cost competitive requires upgrading our power transmission grid with new lines that can take the energy from where it’s generated to far off places where it’s needed. Guess what’s standing in the way of building these power lines? – you guessed it, government. As per one of the most effective Rebane's Rules is still – if society has a problem, government is the cause until proven otherwise. (more here)
Progressives celebrate prohibitive usage of public properties. I had a bit of schadenfreude noting how our leftwingers view the existential takings of public lands from the people by progressive governments implementing Agenda21. These mini-minds admonish those of us complaining of increasing restrictions and costs to use such properties as opposition to the ‘people’s ownership’ of public lands. The designation and then restriction of public properties usage has been the hallmark of socialists cum communists. The Left has never recognized, let alone acknowledged, that you own something only to the extent that you can dispose of it as you wish.
