California’s critical 4th grade academic rankings…

  • Scattershots – 18mar19 (updated 21mar19)

    George Rebane Sen Liz Warren wants to reduce the size of big techs.  As we know, big corporations get that way and survive by practicing the fine art of corporatism.  That means essentially working with politicians and bureaucrats to buy competitive advantage through laws, regs, taxation, etc (all the ways that govt mangles markets) in…
