I'm involved in energy policy as part of my day job. My job is to stay abreast of policy proposals and industry movements.
That means I attend lots of lobbyist calls. I'm on one right now... So, what do they think of the upcoming administration???
I imagine this is happening with all kinds of special interest groups right now. No discussion of where the money is coming from - just...
Video project Libertarian Minute is preparing its 4th episode on topic "practical benefits of being a libertarian in an unfree world." We need some of the best examples of how has libertarianism benefited you or helped you avoid/lessen the damaging impact of the State on your life. Ideas, please!
Update with tentative introduction:
In an unfree world, libertarian worldview is a life vest...
Just booked my ticket. Haven't gone to a political conference since CPAC 2011. It's going to be in South Dakota this year. Would love to link up with some of y'all if you come. https://www.freedomfest.com/
I see a lot of positive sentiment about the storming of the Capitol here, and I sense that some would like to see more of that kind of thing.
I don't speak as one who wants that. I am committed to a nonviolent approach. But I do have some advice from the outside anyway, since I don't deny having a lot of sympathy with the goals of those who identify the state in general, and the federal...

A QUARTER of all Americans say it's time for the U.S. to split into different nations
https://notthebee.com/article/a-quarter-of-all-americans-say-its-time-for-the-us-to-split-into-different-nations
Joel Abbot (13 January 2021)
According to a new poll, 25% of Americans say the country needs to be split into two separate nations.
This is insane.

Wyden lays out Senate tax priorities
“millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share”
As if any tax has ever stayed limited to the ultra-wealthy. And a “millionaire” in many places is simply a person who owns a home. With the massive money printing that is only going to increase, it won't be long until Starbuck’s baristas are earning a million dollars a year on minimum wage...
Seems like my last couple posts are on starting Polls. It wont last long...
There is a lot of conflicting information out there about COVID-19 and most specifically, the TESTS, as to whether or not they are accurate, or inaccurate. If they are inaccurate, why then are they being pushed so hard?
My poll question is also rather vague. So there might something specific you dont believe...
This fall the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief Oyarde if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he’d never learned the old tribal secrets. He couldn’t look at the sky to predict what the winter was going to be like.
"It's going to be a very cold winter."
So just to be on the safe side, Oyarde told his tribe that the...
I have been making pizza's weekly for over a decade. It all started when I was in Southern France and had the best pizza ever. We returned there a few years in a row so I have had a good sample of them... They were really good. I've been trying to make the same pizza's but I always lacked one thing, a wood fired oven. I can make pretty nice pizza's using a pizza stone in an electric oven but it...
After I found out, in December 2016, that the elite have been drinking the blood of the young (vampirism) for centuries, I continued my investigation.
The trail of these bloodsuckers leads to a group that’s known by a variety of names: Dragon Court, Order of the Dragon and Dragon society.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles are descendents of the “real” Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes (which means...

It's taken me ten years, but this could be a really neat
E*book if things get more politically polarized & bordering
on the landscape and environment of 1868. I can opine.
Radical Republicans existed 150 years ago. Less R so now.
