The fall of Chile is a warning to America
"Back in the 1970s, the nation of Chile embarked on one of the boldest sets of free market economic reforms in history.
The government called in the Chicago Boys, as they were called, led by Milton Friedman and other University of Chicago free market economists.
They were given a free hand to redesign the Chilean economic system with property rights, a low flat tax, privatization of the Social Security system, and industry deregulation.
In 1991, Friedman wrote that Chile now has "the three freedoms: economic freedom, political freedom, and human freedom. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it."
For four decades, the experiment worked better than anyone could have imagined.
- According to a study by economist Axel Kaiser for the Cato Institute: "Between 1975 and 2015 per capita income in Chile quadrupled to $23,000, the highest rate in Latin America (CNP 2016).
- As a result, from the early 1980s to 2014, poverty fell from 45 percent to 8 percent (CNP 2016)."
- Chile became one of the wealthiest nations in South America.
- And it happened in three decades, an eye blink of history.
...Eventually, the leftists pulled off a political coup.
In 2013, the Left won the Chilean presidency.
The free market reforms were systematically replaced with "spread the wealth" platitudes.
In October 2020, voters approved a rewrite of the constitution, and now property rights and the rule of law are in danger.
- Chile is now in economic free fall.
- The poor are getting crushed.
- The rich are pulling their money out of the country.
- They have arrived at "equality."

Today’s blacklisted Americans: Lincoln and Washington, by Chicago’s Democratic mayor
Chicago Democrats to ban Lincoln.
Blacklists are back and the Democrats got ’em: Lori Lightfoot, the Democratic Party mayor of Chicago, has begun the formal process for removing forty historical monuments in Chicago, including statues of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Ulysses S. Grant.
Her reasons for throwing these fundamental Americans into the scrap heap of history? Well, she created a committee to review 500 monuments in Chicago and ended up deciding that 40 should go. It has said this:
Reasons for making the list include promoting narratives of white supremacy; presenting an inaccurate or demeaning portrayal of Native Americans; celebrating people with connections to slavery, genocide or racist acts; or “presenting selective, over-simplified, one-sided views of history.”
…Besides five statutes of Lincoln, others on the list include the General John Logan Monument in Grant Park; the General Philip Henry Sheridan Monument at Belmont and Lake Shore Drive; a statue of Benjamin Franklin in Lincoln Park; the Haymarket Riot Monument/ Police Memorial at 1300 W. Jackson Blvd; the Italo Balbo Monument in Burnham Park; and the Jean Baptiste Beaubien plaque at the Chicago Cultural Center. [emphasis mine]

Proof GOPers Are Best Informed Sector Of Population
The proof was published, remarkably enough, in the NYT...
..That’s a central finding from a survey of 35,000 Americans by Gallup and Franklin Templeton. It finds that both liberals and conservatives suffer from misperceptions about the pandemic — in opposite directions. ..
...Here's the actual question that Gallup and Templeton posed to 35K people:
What are the chances that someone with Covid must be hospitalized?
...Here's the breakdown:
What the NYT wants you to take away from that chart is this: Dems are likely to overestimate the Covid threat, but GOPers are likely to underestimate the Covid threat--thus, there is "some truth" to the notion that GOPers as a group are "certainly ... hostil[e] to facts and evidence." (Note: I rearranged the words slightly and added emphasis.)...Read all.

"Oral Roberts, which has already upset Ohio State and Florida, is definitely not the feel-good March Madness story we need, writes Hemal Jhaveri, the “race and inclusion editor.” (Yeah, that’s a job, apparently.)

She admits the evangelical university from Tulsa is a fan favorite as an underdog, but she detests its strict student requirements.

Mass Shooters Aren’t Disproportionately White
Mass Shooters Aren’t Disproportionately White (from 2017 but still accurate)
And this appeared in Slate of all places!"
From comments: "Interesting take on demographics of mass shooters…
As it turns out, Whites are underrepresented and Blacks and Asians overrepresented as percentages of the overall populations…
- Where the myth came from, and what it gets right and wrong about the demographics of mass killings.
"...In a narrow sense, these stories are correct: The plurality of mass killers are white.But the notion that white men of privilege are disproportionately represented among mass shooters—indeed, that they make up “nearly all” of them—is a myth.The myth began to spread in July 2012 after a 24-year-old white man, James Holmes, murdered 12 people in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater. That summer, a team of researchers at Mother Jones put together a database of rampages in public settings. Among the 62 cases (and 64 total perpetrators) the team reviewed—instances dating back to 1982, in which at least four people had been killed in a public place—44 of the killers were white men and one was a white woman.....In this bigger data set, the proportion of white mass shooters drops down to 56 percent, by my count. Judging by those newer numbers, and the most current census estimate that 76.9 percent of Americans are white, the whites-are-overrepresented-among-mass-shooters meme appears even less accurate.
