Month: December 2019

  • Scattershots – 10dec19 (updated 16dec19)

    George Rebane Factory workers now starting to require college degrees – ‘American Factories Demand White-Collar Education for Blue-Collar Work’.  We saw this coming some years back in these pages and described the process in some graphic detail (here).   Given the acceleration of technology in general and AI in particular, that was not a hard prognostication…

  • A Different and Dangerous Impeachment

    George Rebane ‘This Impeachment Is Different – and More Dangerous’ writes Lawrence Lessig in Politico.  He is currently the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School, and according to my lights tilts a bit to the left.  But he has penned an insightful piece that more or less flies in…

  • Democrat Public Education – The gift that keeps taking

    George Rebane Public schools are a government institution, and its teachers are civil servants and public sector workers.  As FDR warned more than 80 years ago, unionizing public sector employees is a very bad idea, and that has proven to be true over the intervening generations.  And nowhere is this more apparent than in what…

  • Consciousness and uploading your mind

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 4 December 2019.] OK, let’s try something different this week.  This being the Christmas season and all, it’s time to think about our souls and eternal life.  Well, on second thought, maybe we should back off on all that divisive spiritual…

  • Dropout Derby – 3dec19

    George Rebane It’s a relief to see that no-count Kamala Harris get out of the race.  To indicate the level of politicians who cause grief to California, given Hillary or Kamala, I would take Hillary in a heartbeat.  And now that the Christmas season is upon us, I expect a lot more of the Dem…

  • Sandbox – 3dec19

    [From the last Sandbox I will repeat my 920am invitation.  'Paul, you guys continue going after the low-hanging fruit on Trump. Why don't you instead take on something more meaningful to Americans? – your assertions that tax rates don't affect economic behavior, or 'border walls don't work', or more regulations encourage commerce and entrepreneurial activity,…

  • Dropout Derby – 2dec19

    George Rebane Sharp-eyed readers informed me that I missed former congressman and retired admiral Joe Sestak dropping out yesterday.  That has been corrected in the illustrated data below.  Gov Bullock of Montana withdrew today; another Democrat who was unclear on the concept and fates of those unknowns who entered the party’s ‘Y’all Come!’ candidacy for…

  • Democrats’ Big Lie #4688 – Voter Suppression

    George Rebane Voter fraud in America is real and bipartisan according to evidence presented by the Heritage Foundation.  To combat voter fraud, states have instituted “voter identification laws and programs to clean up wildly inaccurate voter rolls to help verify that only eligible individuals are voting, and that they are casting ballots in the jurisdictions where…
