The last Australian repatriation flights have left Lebanon, with the federal government pulling the pin on further evacuations due to…
Musk is a tsunami. Who would have ever believed that we would see NASA kicking the FAA into the gutter…
Attempt no landing there… Upcoming Launch – Europa Clipper Mission SpaceX is targeting Monday, October 14 for launch of NASA’s…
Can’t wait. That is an amazing effort. It’s on my list to visit.
The back yard economist’s advice, part III:
Record all your (unavoidable) bills in a financial year on a spreadsheet and then compare them to the (same unavoidable) bills in the following financial year if you want to know what your personal inflation rate is.
Do not include any discretionary purchases during that 12 month period- this is a golden rule.
Do not be afraid to keep a ledger of incomings and outgoings, either. You will not be able to identify any unjustifiable purchases if you do not*. Not that it’s ever stopped me. The Imelda collection continues to grow.

First heard in 1980, when a neighbour* in the Country Club** dragged me out of my digs saying: “You have to listen to this.”
*Sid as he was known, because, ended up in some mundane job looking after peoples’ mortgages or something at MS then GS and finally B of A, but only until 2008,

You incessantly whinging parasites.
Anyone with a functioning brain would think that you obnoxious useless racial grievance mongers are just trying it on (again).
But yeah, compounding (just like “interest”) over generations.
I don’t know how to link to it, but there is a very good article in the latest “Quadrant” on the invention of inter-generational trauma.
Currently doing a Hill Street Blues revisit.
It was called gender realignment in 1983.
The struggles to avoid the obvious are hilarious.
And the subsequent removal/obliteration/reimagining of the concept of personal agency.
Collectivists are becoming so batshit crazy that you might think they are spoiling for a showdown* – which will inevitably not end well for them and their supplicant cheer squad.
History being a useful guide at this point.
*As opposed to a “schlockdown”, of which we are all familiar … 😡
Collectivism is the realisation that you are so dumb that thinking for yourself is bound to lead to disaster.
A wonderful concept, of which about 91.3% of peoples below the age of 45 could not explain or describe if their pointless lives depended on it.
I think there might be a bit of involuntary parsimony coming up.
A concept that continues to be visited upon humanity and which it is still obstinately refusing to move beyond, even after twenty centuries (of alleged history).
Say anything more and I’ll be accused of being a collectivist.
#freemarketslowtaxesnogovernment 🙂
Speaking of Schlockdowns, anyone here think that we may be gifted with them (again) sometime soon?
The precedent has been set and the perpetrators are still existing.
Which is not good, in more ways than one.

By the way [I know you’re an eggspurt on this subject], exported Sheepmeat will be FROZEN, not chilled.
Another eggspurt opines …
Quit your bullshit, you insulted a whole city as some sort of progressive utopia with citizens in lockstep, where Tucker Carlson in fact resides.
