HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

"Art. 88. Contempt toward officials
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the…

THE E.V. BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Whiff of InEVitability: Looks Like We’re Over EVs.

Right now they’re cool, but a niche product. In a few years, with a new generation of batteries, they may be a plausible replacement for internal combustion cars. Right now they’re not. If you want something electric but generally useful, a plug-in hybrid is the way to go since it lets you putter around town on electricity but make long drives without worry about charging.

YOU WON’T EVEN WIN BACK MARRIED WOMEN:

Democrats handed their party to single, mentally ill women and now those women keep the entire party hostage.

They can’t dump them because they need them. At the same time, you will NEVER win men back speaking like this. Ever. https://t.co/Bz9rdSJSPX

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE:

Reminder: you know those elite colleges your kids couldn't get into (too white) and that you'd never be able to afford anyway?

Surprise: you were sending them your money anyway – up to a billion to each of the schools that rejected your 4.0 senior.

SAFER BUT UGLIER: How Proposed Pedestrian-Impact Safety Standards Will Soften Automotive Design.

TECHNOLOGY MARCHES ON: First Look: The Return of the Franklin Armory Reformation. A unique take on a firearm is once again available for sale. “Franklin Armory is resuming production and sales of its Reformation firearm. Based on the ruling issued last month in its prevailing lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the company will begin shipping a variety of Reformation model configurations to dealers for sale to consumers. The Reformation features Franklin Armory’s patented straight-cut land-and-groove design and is classified as neither a rifle nor a shotgun. Rather, Reformation is simply a “firearm” that is regulated only by the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968. Since Reformation is not a National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm, no tax stamp is required. FFLs can now transfer Reformation as a GCA-only firearm just like other similarly classified firearms, including the Mossberg Shockwave, Remington Tac-14 and Franklin Armory’s own XO-26. Both 7.5-inch and 11.5-inch barrel length versions of the Reformation are now available for purchase through Franklin Armory’s dealer network in most US states.”

WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT ENVIRONMENTALISTS BASICALLY WANT TO MAKE LIFE WORSE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE.

INFLATION FALLS:

Incredible news. Inflation even lower than expected! https://t.co/QBeHSYhldb

Prediction: Near-instant pivot from “Trump promised to lower inflation, where’s progress?” to “Ackshually, low inflation is bad.”

That said, a tip-over to actual deflation would be bad, since deflation hurts debtors more than creditors, and the United States is the world’s biggest debtor.
