Ruminations – 7oct23 (updated 15oct23)

‘Taking a Closer Look at the Vaunted Scandinavian Welfare States’ (here)  Here is a little wisdom for our leftwing readers who embrace ever more socialism based on their shared belief that it works in the Scandinavian countries.  Well not quite as this piece from the Mises Institute makes clear.

Sacramento’s socialist sleazebags are illegally end-running California’s citizens in their perennial effort to raise more taxes and gut Prop 13.  The sad part is that the state’s population now consists of such a large proportions of double dummies, that they will believe Newsom’s lies and vote us deeper into a financial crisis in November 2024.  The Howard Jarvis organization is fighting back. (more here and here)

[15oct23 update]  You shouldn’t have to be too bright to understand when someone says an acknowledged enemy is ‘smart’, it's an assessment of their cunningness.  And it doesn’t mean they support or side with the enemy.

George, are you saying that the Governor and others are pushing back on Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act?

I think it will pass easily.

A intelligent person with a decent education wouldn't need any help.
They would look at the whole conversation and the context of the situation it arose from.

Scott....he's a former newspaper editor with a master's degree ......and don't forget, he's "award winning"! There's no way he's going to understand a translation let alone the original!

"Why is Newsom going against California's left?"

God but the media is chock full 'O morons.....

Because he's correctly anticipating President Brainstem being carted away in a rubber truck some time early next year

It's obvious... it's just noting conservatives eat their children... knife and fork.

Cooked, not raw. They're not savages.

Can't imagine why a J-school grad would need help with this.

The lies about the green new deal go up in smoke -

The New York State Public Service Commission (NYPSC), the state's main regulator overseeing electric, gas and water utilities, issued the decision late last week, saying it would "preserve the robust competitive bidding process that provides critically needed renewable energy resources to New York." The energy developers had requested billions of dollars in additional taxpayer funding for four proposed offshore wind projects and 86 onshore green energy projects.

"The requested amendments to the contracts would have provided adjustments outside the competitive procurement process; such relief is fundamentally inconsistent with long-standing Commission policy," Commission Chair Rory Christian said in a statement.
