Dedicating this episode to all the therapists and gays that heal us! This week is all about the VMAs and psychotic moms. However, before all that I pay my respects to the late Giorgio Armani. Mr. Armani was an iconic (and insanely rich) figure in fashion that will live on for generations to come. After that I highlight my new favorite viral clip of two college footballers in a homoerotic embrace. If this is sports from now on, then maybe I will watch the Super Bowl! Then I discuss this years VMAs which was basically the Sabrina Carpenter variety hour. Next up is my new favorite Netflix documentary, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. This b!tch, Kendra, sure does know how to drag out an elaborate cyberstalking! Finally, I touch on the titillating new teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. So good!!! Listen now <3…

The "Acid Rain" Scare and the Science-Industrial Complex

for 7 hours siden

—

“Science” is now indistinguishable from politics. As the “acid rain” hysteria showed back in the 1970s and 1980s, “follow the science” is just a political slogan, unrelated to actual science. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/acid-rain-scare-and-science-industrial-complex

Going for Broke

for 7 hours siden

—

Once upon a time, American firms built with the long term in view, and the government did not try to hinder them. Today, thanks to reckless federal government spending, we are living hand-to-mouth, accumulating massive debts, and soon enough will be broke.

Individualism and the Violence of the Identitarian Left

for 3 dage siden

—

Leftists seek to create a new society that supposedly is peaceable. However, they also celebrate violence done against political opponents, something that Murray Rothbard understood as undermining every supposed peaceful goal they claim to be pursuing.

Inflation and Economic Growth

for 6 dage siden

—

According to mainstream economists, inflation aids economic growth while deflation impairs growth. Austrian economists, however, point out that in much of US history, economic growth was accompanied by deflation. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/inflation-and-economic-growth

Jefferson's War on the Barbary Pirates Is an Unjustified Password for Military Intervention

for 6 dage siden

—

Advocates for US military intervention have invoked the war against the Barbary pirates as justification. Yet, an examination of that conflict shows that President Jefferson’s actions were limited and followed the direction of Congress.

The Complicated Legacy of Andrew Jackson’s Bank War

for 7 dage siden

—

Was Jackson’s victory over the Second Bank of the United States a triumph for liberty, or did it merely expand federal authority under the guise of constraining it? His legacy is complicated, but there is much we can learn from it. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/complicated-legacy-andrew-jacksons-bank-war…

James Comey Is Not an Innocent Victim of the Lawfare He Helped to Create

for 7 dage siden

—

Although the political establishment claims the Comey indictment represents an unprecedented moment in our history, the truth is much different. Federal prosecutors have a long history of bringing unjustified, politically-motivated prosecutions.

When Political Violence Becomes a Signal

for 9 dage siden

Individual voters have little reason to become informed. Politicians have strong incentives to pander rather than persuade. Partisans are rewarded for tribal loyalty rather than epistemic integrity. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/when-political-violence-becomes-signal
