THE URBAN LEFT’S SELF-CREATED SUMMER OF HELL: “Liberals whine about being governed by Trump. Pity those governed by them,” Dan Henninger writes in the Wall Street Journal:

We’re not living yet under a President Sanders or Warren, so the steady, documented outflow of residents will continue from New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, California and New Jersey… Not widely noticed is that liberalism’s claimed beneficiaries—black Americans—are also fleeing its failures. Demographers have documented significant black out-migration from New York, Michigan, California and Illinois into Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina. North to south.

Now comes the summer-of-hell infrastructure crisis. Residents of the northeastern slab from New Jersey to Boston have been living off infrastructure created by their grandparents and great-grandparents during the golden age of American capitalism.

They are now asking the federal government, meaning taxpayers who live in parts of the U.S. not hostile to capitalism, to give them nearly $15 billion to replace the 100-year-old train tunnel beneath the Hudson River. Why should they? Why send money to a moribund, dysfunctional urban liberal politics that will never—as in, not ever—clean up its act or reform?

Maybe we need a new default solution to the urban crisis: Let internal migration redistribute the U.S. population away from liberalism’s smug but falling-apart plutonomies.

As Glenn likes to point out, we have the worst political class in American history – screaming about Trump gives them a yuuuuge opportunity to yell “squirrel!” and hope that their urban voters ignore the crumbling infrastructure and poor city services that surround them.

As a prominent, albeit fictitious member of the news media would say:

WHEN SPORTS INJURIES LEAD TO ARTHRITIS IN THE JOINTS:

When a physically active person like me injures a joint, especially one as crucial as a knee or ankle, one of the first thoughts, if not the first thought, is likely to be “How fast can I get back to my usual activities?”

That kind of thinking, however, could set the stage for a painful chronic problem years later: post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

In the rush to get back in the game, whether as part of a team or elite sport or simply a cherished recreational activity like jogging or tennis, it is tempting to short-circuit the rehabilitation needed to allow the joint to heal fully. But adequate recovery, including rehab measures aimed at strengthening structures that support the injured joint, is critical to maximize its stability, reduce the risk of reinjury and head off irreparable joint damage.

And you don’t have to be a senior citizen to pay the price of failing to build up the tissues that help protect that joint. Studies have shown that when an adolescent or young adult sustains a knee injury, for example, X-ray evidence of arthritis is often apparent within a decade.

So I broke a finger in law school, and they told me I’d probably have arthritis in the joint within 10-15 years. But I dutifully trudged over to Yale Student Health for physical therapy, even though it felt sort of dumb having a physical therapist bend my finger, and soak it in a salad-bowl-sized whirlpool. But now, much more than 10-15 years later, I have to stop to think to remember which finger I broke, so I guess it was worth it.

CIVIL RIGHTS: The Onerous, Arbitrary, Unaccountable World of Occupational Licensing.

In theory, such licensing protects consumers from being harmed by incompetent or fraudulent providers. (No one wants to get deep into labor only to discover that her midwife can’t tell an umbilical cord from a baby toe.) In practice, however, the process has sprawled far beyond questions of public health and safety, morphing into an onerous, arbitrary, unaccountable mess that, in far too many cases, is less about consumer protection than about economic protectionism.

How does a state decide to license a particular occupation? Typically, workers in that field lobby legislators to establish such a system. Licensing requirements are then determined, and the system is overseen and enforced by a licensing board dominated by practitioners of said field. Any newcomer who attempts to enter that field without a proper license can be shut down by the board.

It’s not hard to spot the potential conflict here.

Indeed. Most licensing exists to promote practitioners’ paychecks, not consumers’ safety.
