Yes, it is a bit like TheirABC, with the exception of the glorious bar-fight between Arky and JC. So uncouth! I enjoyed it thoroughly.

There seems to be a consensus about genteel behaviour and censorship to keep things ‘nice’ which I don’t agree with. Also, a lot of people prefer style over substance, apparently.

That said, Bird is a noxious pest whose thread-bombing is a PITA. Mind you, if you deleted Rosie’s comments here, the total would go down considerably. Still, I prefer the default to be in favour of freedom of expression, and note that Adam has deleted several comments which well and truly crossed the line.

Good luck to all except Monty’s, is my view.

Salvatore, Understaffed & Overworked Martyr to Border Closure

Mr. Rafael Epstein cuts off a phone call the instant he realises the caller is pointing out “we’re not all in this together, & especially so for the ABC”.

<<Caller "Mark" told the ABC Drive host he wanted him to stop using the phrase “we’re all in this together” in relation to crippling Covid lockdowns.

“The only time I actually want to hear that is when a politician or member of the media says: ‘I’m going to give half my salary to someone who just lost their house’, but we’re never going to hear that, are we?” he said.

“So what I’m saying is please. Can you please just tell everyone in the ABC, and whoever else, stop saying it. There’s enough stress. I live in my bloody car now. I live in my frigging car! I’ve lost everything,” he continued.

He went on to point out the inequity between those who’d lost jobs and income, and those who had been able to continue working with little interruption during the pandemic.

“And then we get the ABC, and I’m quite sure you guys aren’t losing any money. Of course you’re not, and you’re earning big dollar,” he said.

“It’s an insult to hear ‘we’re all in this together’.>>

Actually Mark, in the middle of lockdown last year, the ABC staff voted themselves a pay rise.

4 million extra Pfizer vaccine doses will begin arriving in Australia in days after we secured a swap deal with the UK.

This means millions of Australians will now be able to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated sooner as we follow our National Plan to safely reopen.

You can be rude to the cops as long as it’s not abusive. You need to be careful and remain inside that fine line.
Last week I was accosted by the arseholes. I was parking my car and on the (hands-free) phone at the same time. A fat slob of a Vippoler approached the front of my car and began to tap in my registration on an Ipad. About a minute later he walked away to join the rest of the lazy slobs a little further down the street. I got out of my car and approached the slob/slobs. I asked him what had he done with regards to my car and what he was checking. He replied that he was seeing if I was a local and indeed I was.

Slightly raising my voice, I told him I considered what he’d done to be very intrusive and I also suggested to the 5 or 6 of them that I looked like that had nothing to do and if they liked their job. One said he did – loved it in fact. I suggested it didn’t surprise me. I also suggested to them that they looked completely out of shape and they ought exercise more and eat healthy , non-fattening food. They walked away and so did I.
Don’t abuse them, just be rude to them and tell them how much Vicpol is despised as an organization as they’re considered to be Dan’s thugs.

ScoMo, you are in your position because of internecine jostling of party of misanthropes, goblins and trolls, and your party is in power because voters are compelled by law, under threat of being fined, to queue up at a school and cast a vote for either your party or another one of near identical abomination.

I know. Imagine them chasing a slim crim. There’s really too many cops for the level of crime, I reckon. Most of their crap these days is fining people with speed cameras or setting up on main arterial roads to see if people are rego compliant as we no longer have rego stickers.

Lat year, I was was stopped at 11 am for a fucking breathalyzer on a week day and there was a whole posse of them. They’re the pits and as unionized as all fuck. Just despicable scum.

A while ago I read the stat that while the two northern states have a ratio of 1 cop to 500. Victoria is 1 to 300. You could easily defund these scumbags, getting rid of half the fuckers and the other half made to actually work and fight crime.

How does the Paralympics determine who is disabled and who is not (and to the extent of their disability?). Like, can a one legged swimmer compete a disabled person with one arm or with multiple sclerosis? And what if their MS hasn’t completely manifested itself yet?

I’ve always wondered that too. Like if a dude is missing both legs and is in a swim race with someone with both legs and one arm, how can you tell whom wins.. like really wins.

I have a funny story that was told to me a few years ago and it’s about a dude who’s in the current Paralympics. He’s in a wheel chair and I think he’s missing both legs from birth. Anyway we were told he was actually seeing a girl who is the daughter of our friends’ friends (who we knew also). The girl was really decent looking, and from what we were told .. like really good looking. He broke off with her because he was “busy with his life” and told her he wanted to meet other sheilas. This is a fucker in a wheel and has that attitude. Incredible!

Clare Chandler, LNP senator from Tasmania on the scourge of the alphabet people. It is ironic though that fembots have been leading the charge against the patriarchy and now they’re being snookered by chicks with dicks:

Private spaces for women and girls used to be the norm in Australia.

Female-only spas, gyms and sporting teams were widespread, and as a nation we valued the importance of these spaces to keep women and girls safe.

But as Aussie entrepreneur Sall Grover knows all too well, that’s not the case anymore.

Sall was a Hollywood screenwriter, living her dream in the US when sexual harassment and assault became a regular part of her work day: you can read about Sall’s heartbreaking experiences here.

Sall realised she needed a strong female support network in her life.

And with that Giggle was born, the social media app for women only.

Giggle was designed to give women “choice, control, consent and connection”, and is specifically designed to be female-only. We all know about the dangers of people pretending to be someone they’re not online.

But, of course, the radical ideologues and trans activists weren’t going to stand for that. They came for Sall and have directed horrific abuse and threats towards her.

Despite this, Sall persisted. So now, they’re employing the familiar tactics of cancel culture to go after Giggle by convincing the major US-based fundraising platform, KickStarter, to cancel its support for the app because it contained “hateful or offensive content that fails to meet Kickstarter’s spirit of inclusivity by promoting discrimination, bigotry, or intolerance towards marginalized groups”.

“Giggle is designed to give women choice, control, consent and connection.”

How on earth could anyone consider that to be hateful or offensive?

Unfortunately, this woke madness is getting worse across the entire Western world.

In Scotland, five police officers showed up to a pub to remove a group of women – not because they’d done anything wrong but because the trans-woman bar manager recognised them as feminists (or TERFs as the bar manager referred to them on Twitter, claiming “You dinnae belong in pubs… or society”).

“It’s quite something when women having a drink with friends are considered the most dangerous of clientele,” said a spokesperson from For Women Scotland.

How mad is the world getting when the police show up in force to respond to complaints that women who believe in sex-based rights are having a quiet drink in a pub?

Even right here at home the war on women has become core business for taxpayer-funded bureaucrats. But thanks to your support, we’re speaking up and fighting back.

Last week, it emerged that the Federal Department of Health had rewritten a guide to COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant women by deleting the word “women” and replacing it with “people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy”.

This was another clear example of how this woke, anti-women ideology has infiltrated Australia’s public service.

Today, success! The guide has been re-issued and once again refers to women and mothers, as it should.

Your tip-offs about how, why and when unelected bureaucrats are promoting this dangerous and unscientific propaganda are having a real impact, and the dam wall is starting to break.

Note how we don’t see descriptions such as “people with prostrate cancer or “people with scrotum cancer”. This language is sinister, it’s insidious and it’s all about the erasure of woman/women. It’s pure unadulterated misogyny.

Ed Berry has a new PR paper showing the increase in atmospheric CO2 is primarily natural and therefore there is fuck-all humans can do about it; even if CO2 did control climate, which it doesn’t.

Abstract: The natural carbon cycle specified by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has consequences. It supports a physics carbon cycle model that calculates a “true’ human carbon cycle. This “true” human carbon cycle contradicts IPCC’s human carbon cycle and contradicts IPCC’s assumption that natural CO2stayed at its 1750 level while humanCO2caused all the CO2increase. It shows human CO2has added only 33 ppm to the atmosphere as of 2020, which means natural CO2has added 100 ppm. It shows if human CO2emissions stopped at the end of 2020, the human-caused CO2increase would fall from 33 ppm to 16 ppm by 2040, and to 10 ppm by 2100, showing there is no climate emergency. It shows how increased surface temperature and deep ocean overturning can independently add 100 ppm of CO2to the atmosphere to explain the rise in natural CO2. It shows carbon from net land use change flows rapidly to the deep ocean, leaving little carbon in the atmosphere. Finally, the D14C balance level has remained near zero even as the 14CO2 and 12CO2 levels changed, which shows the ocean is the primary source of the natural 12CO2 increase.

Mind changing? Here’s a dude who really did change my mind at the depth of the GFC and he’s so right. He hated Trump with a passion which is only seen in academics (he’s one). But, that’s his bling spot. He great on macro-economics which is essentially monetary policy.

He’s written another book.

TheMoneyIllusion

A slightly off-center perspective on monetary problems.

Finally!

My new book (entitled The Money Illusion) can now be ordered online. My intended audience for the book is mostly younger people that are studying macroeconomics. While I welcome older readers, for a couple of reasons many of them won’t be persuaded by my arguments:

First, I don’t fit neatly into any of the tribes out there. Right-wingers won’t like the fact that I blame the Great Recession on tight money policies of the sort advocated by conservatives. Progressives won’t like the fact that I blame the Great Recession on government policy (the Fed), not the “inherent instability of capitalism”. They won’t like my dismissal of fiscal policy, or my claim that unemployment compensation boosts unemployment. I didn’t write this book to win friends.

A second problem is that my views are pretty contrarian. I reject the conventional way of looking at monetary policy, which focuses on central bank control of interest rates. Instead, I argue that what really matters is central bank policies that influence the supply and demand for base money. I deny the existence of asset price bubbles.

So I’m looking to convince people who haven’t yet adopted a tribe, who still have an open mind about how the world works. Those are often younger people.

George Selgin wrote a nice review of the book for Barron’s. At one point he noted that I hadn’t given much attention to the case for NGDP targeting:

The Money Illusion is more than a restatement of the tenets of Market Monetarism because it also looks at sundry other monetary economics topics, albeit always from Sumner’s distinct point of view, and because it includes Sumner’s account of his own intellectual journey. But by pursuing these other agendas, it sacrifices the advantage of a narrower scope, and correspondingly sharper focus. The case for NGDP targeting is among the casualties of this approach: Arguments for it may be the warp of the book. But too often they disappear behind its weft.

While I do make a forceful case for NGDP targeting, that’s certainly not the main focus of the book, and not the focus of what I’ve been doing for the past 13 years. So what has been my focus? On policy questions I’ve emphasized three points:

1. Level targeting of a nominal aggregate. Commit to return to the previous trend line after a nominal shock.

2. Target the market forecast. Set policy at a position where the market expects success.

3. A “whatever it takes” monetary policy. The central bank should do as much as necessary to hit its target, and should not rely on fiscal stimulus. Failure is not an acceptable outcome.

To me, these are the core ideas of market monetarism.

Another theme of my blogging has been “never reason from a price change”. Interest rates do not tell us anything about the stance of monetary policy. This is also a monetarist idea.

Obviously there’s much more in the book. I tried to write the sort of book that I would have enjoyed reading at age 20. I hope you enjoy it and I welcome your feedback.

PS. Over at Econlog I have some additional thoughts on the book.

PPS. I originally intended to write the book using the breezy informal style of my blog posts, but was strongly dissuaded by reviewers. (I kept one page of that style as an example for readers that never saw my blogging.) Chapter 1 was originally entitled “The Autistic Economist”—you can image how that went over in this woke era! On a serious note, I do thank a number of reviewers for making the book better, for preventing me from repeatedly embarrassing myself.

PPPS. I have a Mercatus working paper coming out this fall that presents economists like Paul Krugman and Ben Bernanke in a more favorable light than this book. There’s no direct contradiction, just a focus on the positive contributions in my new working paper.

Ignore what he’s said about Krugman. Even though Krugman has become a limp dicked political pundit, he was once a pretty decent economist.

I believe “MoneyIllusion” was the main influence moving monetary policy in the US and elsewhere towards his thinking.

This, of course, would be the result of state laws that let biological male inmates transfer to women’s prisons, provided these men identify as transgender. The law, SB132, took effect in January. Since then, 261 men have asked to be moved to the women’s facilities.

Yeah, nobody could have seen that coming.

He may well give money to charities for druggies (tick) but step around the crumpled, bone-thin, bone-grey remnant of a person groaning in a doorway on his way to grab a morning cappuccino without thinking for a moment of pausing to ask them how it happened.

Here though, you appear to be very agitated over the loon stabbing people in the NZ supermarket.

Can you explain how his action and your promised one are so qualitatively different that they cannot be compared?

DrBeauGan:
Too many ppl happy to be looked after.

The long march of Civilisation in human affairs is a steady easing of the burden of making a living. Each generation makes it easier for the following generation to exist. So the agricultural revolution resulted in fewer people needing to work to achieve the same or better results in harvest as an example.

If this premise is taken to be true, why then the disapproval of people justly taking advantage of the advance of civilisation to not work and be “looked after”.

Further, the Western “Capitalist” system encourages winner takes all behaviour. This means that some actively seek to disadvantage others. This results in any life failure being a failure for life. Loss of “assets” for the vast majority of people is irreversible.

The “Democratic” governance system is at last seen for what it is. A corrupt winner takes all system where rich persons can buy politicians and politicians have no respect or duty to their electorate.

There is no honour here.
There is no respect here.
There is no security here.

But on the arc we’re going by December we’ll be having 10,000 positive tests a day and the deaths will be at least double figures, possibly triple figures. All those elderly which the flu hasn’t been carrying off for over a year are still ready to be carried off, vaccination or no vaccination.

The Western Sydney problem is out of control because the locals are ignoring and actually evading the quarantine restrictions. Gladys can’t stop that from happening without bringing in the ADF and basically starting a war.

So I do rather doubt we’ll be opening up any time soon. The pollies’ have dug their hole ‘way too deeply for that. Maybe they’ll try, but the pressure on them to Do Something will become immense, and we all know what they will default to doing in such a circumstance.

He a very nice man, ebullient, polite, sense of humour, middle Australia…which is why he made his seat of Hughes (which borders Scummo’s seat of Cook) a safe Liberal seat. Craig represents everything the Liberal party once stood for…Menzies’ values…small business, free speech, liberty, individual responsibility, aspiration. The party no longer represents any of that. What Scumbag Morrison did to Kelly in February of this year was shameful. He sided with Labor against one of his own. Kelly is a backbencher and the Liberal party has a long history of mavericks…but no, that despicable Morrison chose to side with Labor to censure and silence Kelly….the left have loathed Kelly for years because of his stance on “climate change” and now Covid.

This was another clear example of how this woke, anti-women ideology has infiltrated Australia’s public service.

Today, success! The guide has been re-issued and once again refers to women and mothers, as it should.

I’ve since pieced together some of the history from his service record.

The greatest generation.

Check if the War Diaries of his unit are on-line at the AWM website. They cover (in varying detail) the day to day activities of each unit. They have been digitising them for some years now, starting with combat arms units. I’m not cure how far they have got, but you might be lucky.

Not quite every move. The watchers seem to have been having a day off today.

MT – Of course. I’ve at least two, maybe three I forget, patents to my name which centre on the use of gypsum. But gypsum isn’t pretty. Alabaster is pretty.

Arky:

I’ve talked to JC and he has agreed to bake me some scones and start crocheting a tea cosy.
