Newmark's Door

Of course it is not easy, but I'm seeing more stories that it can be done.

Another dopey project from Liberals wherein a lot of hidden costs are not accounted for.

I would have said this is unbelievable, but in 2023 it seems as though almost anything is possible.

Prediction: after all the cool colleges have junked the SAT, once again--yet again--the Law of Unintended Consequences will return with a vengeance.

Yes, it would help if the climate warmers were a little more concerned about falsifiability.

If there’s drought in California, it’s climate change! If there are heavy rains in California, it’s climate change! Neat system they have going.

Jonah Goldberg:

Portland (like Seattle and San Francisco) has many problems common to many American cities, homelessness being just one of them. But it’s different here. I say that as someone who has never lived anywhere without a shameful number of homeless people.

I’ve walked all over downtown Portland, and there are parts that feel like scenes from Escape from New York. When I say “parts” I don’t really mean “neighborhoods” or “sections,” though I’m sure those exist, too. I mean parts of otherwise prosperous blocks. It’s like Portland is a pretty face with pox all over. Not a pretty face with a deformed ear or nose.

Yesterday, Lafayette County Circuit Court Judge Rhonda L. Lanford ruled that the government may not prevent people from selling homemade, shelf-stable foods directly to consumers. This ruling means that Wisconsinites may use their own home kitchens to support their families with sales of safe foods like fudges, doughnuts, and roasted coffee beans—that is, any food that does not need to be refrigerated for food safety purposes.

Could be yet another bogus story brought to by the legacy media.
