Pretty Good Argument for ‘Eat the Rich’
Billionaire-funded 5th edition of RAND’s gun policy report as anti-gun as first four [More]
Maybe they think the One Percent-decrying mob will eat them last and that private security will protect them to the end?
Breaking the Bank
JPMorgan Chase recently announced the banking giant’s policy of denying services to manufacturers of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) is over. That’s a welcome reversal of policy after NSSF met with JPMorgan Chase officials to work to end the discriminatory policy. It is also the most recent of the big banks, including Bank of America and Citigroup that have shifted banking service policies that previously froze out members of the firearm industry. [More]
About damn time for all of them, and Morgan has been particularly offensive.
Now, what about “Merchant Category Codes“?
Hey, when the house of cards collapses, who’s in for more “too big to fail” bailouts?
And not to put too fine a point to it, but MSR seems counterproductive to me.
Science Friction
…sadly, Truffaut’s picture might qualify as horror nowadays since it appears the United States has arrived at the fascist destination Bradbury warned us about. [More]
The books Bradbury championed were classics of literature and they were actually banned in his novel. There’s a big difference between that and taxpayers objecting to funding the distribution of grooming porn in publicly-financed schools and libraries. And if you’re still intent on teaching your 12-year-old how to blow other boys, we’ll always have Amazon.
Not much noise from these characters when they act just like the Farenheit 451 firemen:
Parent Marie Rothstein-Williams made a formal complaint to the school board last month, arguing that the books offended her biracial son.
And speaking ot woke science fiction, this @$$hole needs to go back to driving a Johnny Cab. His entire AI character is absurd unless you believe software would still be relevant 900 years after installed, and his real life persona is even more so unless you believe thinking that sanctimoniously preachy writing and acting sucks makes someone a racist.
Case in point:
Hey, as long as we’re talking about banning printed information…

Musk predicts AI will create ‘universal high income’ and make saving money unnecessary [More]
To each according to his wants, from each unearned demands?
Kids in candy stores will eat themselves sick. And look at all the miserable celebrities. With the judgment and intelligence exhibited by most, expect deaths from surfeit to skyrocket.
This seems like a purposeless existence where nothing is earned and everything is considered an entitlement. And since when is being a welfare parasite elevating for either the individual or the populace?
Who owns the means of production in this Utopia, and what do they expect in return?
Who will rule?
Sounds like somebody’s been influenced by too much Trekonomics.
Concealed Carry Killers Redux
Legally armed civilians, we’re told, pose a major danger. They shoot innocent bystanders, justifiably kill others whenever they personally believe “force is reasonably necessary,” and rely on racist self-defense laws. [More]
One question: Why do they refer to violence monopoly propaganda apparatchik Mark Maremont as a “reporter”?
And as per the playbook of resurrecting old scare tactics that didn’t work the first time, such bleating isn’t even original.

No Citizens Need Apply
But believing in the “Great Replacement” (along with the “pernicious” lie that “there is an ‘invasion’ at the U.S.-Mexico border of immigrants who are poised to change the demographic nature of the country”) is racist?

Flash in the Pan
They have removed their post but they’re still getting knocked around on X and this will follow them around forever.
No doubt some legal risk management type thought they’d better get ahead of potential product lawsuits with a disclaimer, kinda like Glock distancing itself from add-on switches.
It won’t work, of course, because lawfare in the name of public safety is just a cynical tactic being employed toward a greater strategic goal.
