2024-09-06

At that point, the British decided to hang on to the Chagos Islands, incorporating them into the current...

A study from The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco claims that most of the price inflation that plagued the US economy over the past few years was due to global supply chain disruptions, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Is this a valid study, or an attempt by the Fed to evade responsibility for our recent economic troubles?There are several problems with this study. First, this study aims at establishing a correlation between supply chain...

Hence, politicians enact policies that many of them know don’t work just to stay in power. Price controls are bad economic policy. Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris wants to empower the Federal Trade Commission to stop “food price gouging” with what would amount to price ceilings.Price ceilings cause shortages of goods...

If one has the patience or the curiosity to go down certain conservative rabbit holes in social media, one will encounter a small corner of the movement in which one finds a latent or explicit desire to somehow rehabilitate Adolf Hitler and the National Socialists (i.e., the “Nazis.”)This is often found in the form of comments or memes that take the position that the National Socialists were the defenders of “the West” against a militant Left then...
