AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS ADDICT

Minimum Wage Increase Blowback: McDonald’s Plans Major Automation By Third Quarter Of Next Year, at economicpolicyjournal.com. You can’t raise wages above what the labor produces. Why do you think private sector union labor was 35% of the work force in the 50’s, and it’s 7% today. Unions priced themselves out of the market. They are now focused on unionizing Government workers, because politicians will always give in to their demands for more tax payer money.

Wal-Mart That Economic Wrecking Ball, at economicpolicyjournal.com. Wal-Mart gets slammed for supplying consumers with products at lower prices.

The Affordable Care Act Will Push More Women Than Men Into Part-Time Work, at economicpolicyjournal.com. Talk about your war on women?

Pipe Lines Pose Fewer Risks Than Compared To Transporting Oil By Rail Or Truck, at fraserinstitute.org. I think it is funny when environmentalists paint themselves into corners when they think they are making the “environmentally correct” decision. Unfortunately they don’t understand that when it comes to making decisions, there are no solutions there are only trade offs.

Quotation Of The Day On The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels, by Mark J. Perry, at aei-ideas.org. Our current standard of living was brought about, and is presently powered by fossil fuels. The only type of power that can compete with carbon based fuels is nuclear energy. Unfortunately we have been brain washed into being afraid of the word nuclear, we won’t even consider it as an alternative energy source.

Hacking Higher Ed. With Competency-Based Education, by Joanne Jacobs, at openstandard.mozilla.org. I saw this at carpe diem blog. Big college’s monopoly in higher education is going to start to crack. The best teacher in a particular subject can teach an unlimited amount of students online, why would you want a countless amount of average college professors who can only teach the limited number of students who attend their classes.

Fed Up With Govt. Misconduct, Federal Judge Takes Nuclear Option, by Sidney Powell, at observer.com. Eric Holder’s  Justice Department used false evidence to accuse Sierra Pacific of starting a wild-fire. Chief Judge Morrison C. England Jr. ordered every federal judge from the Eastern District of California to recuse themselves. The $55 million settlement will probably be set aside because of the misconduct. Why would anyone trust Government bureaucrats to do their job in a non political and unbiased way?

Google vs. The Entire News Industry: And The Winner Is…. at zerohedge.com. This is the creative destruction of the free market happening before our eyes.

Citizen Pulls Cop Over Gives Warning, youtube video. I don’t know if this guy is right. I am impressed with how both acted in this situation. Both were respectful and neither one escalated the situation to a point that it got out of control.

Predatory Journalism, by Thomas Sowell, at jewishworldreview.com. Anything Thomas Sowell writes is a must read.

 

This cartoon is really about big bloated Government in general not just the present administration. Republicans wouldn’t be able to make the present bureaucratic and regulatory mess work more efficiently. Even if they could, they would just be intervening in every aspect or our lives more efficiently. (I saw this at zerohedge.com.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two quotes about the incompetence of big Government.

Murray Rothbard – “Bureaucracy incompetent enough to plan a stationary system, is vastly more incompetent at planning a progressing one.”

George Gilder – “The ambitious agenda of contemporary liberalism simply ensures that Government will do nothing well, except to expand itself as an obstacle of growth and innovation. Government best supports the future by refraining as much as possible from trying unduly to shape it.”
