How Corruption Makes You Poor | ZeroHedge - BY TYLER DURDEN
"...The point is prices and incentives matter....
And it is one that is not lost on government policy makers.
By influencing prices, they can influence behavior...
To be perfectly frank, prices are corrupted by governments for the purpose of extracting capital from the economy and rearranging society in strange and unnatural ways.

The Economy's 'Red Death' Will Come for DC, Too - American Thinker
The Economy's 'Red Death' Will Come for DC, Too - American Thinker - By J.B. Shurk 
"In Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Masque of the Red Death," a group of nobles wall themselves off from the surrounding country to avoid a devastating plague...Eventually, however, the "Red Death" finds its way into their "safe space" and eviscerates their fantasy...trapped inside a fortress of their own making, they soon perish.
- This is a story that every D.C. power player should read.
The rift between Beltway conventional wisdom and the day-to-day reality of ordinary Americans is growing into an unbridgeable crevasse.
- While families struggle to afford food, fuel, and essentials for young children, the White House continues to assure Americans that the economy has never been better.
- While the Department of Homeland Security insists that America's borders are secure and that illegal immigration is under control, small towns across the country struggle to deal with spiking fentanyl deaths, transnational crime networks, and forced multiculturalism that often drives a wedge within communities.
- International trade deals that were negotiated and signed by residents of D.C. have hollowed out once thriving industrial towns and left multiple generations of blue-collar workers poor and adrift.

Woke Disney actress Rachel Zegler comments on Snow White remake - TheBlaze:
"And so when we came to reimagining the actual role of Snow White, it came about that the fairest of them all, meaning who is the most just, and who can become a fantastic leader," Zegler added.
Gal Gadot – who plays the Evil Queen in the new "Snow White" movie – chimed in by saying, "Also the fact that she's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's the proactive one, and she's the one who sets the terms, is what makes it so relevant to where we are today."

Cow with reportedly racist name wins award at state fair, prompting complaint from attendee - TheBlaze:
A man who attended the Wisconsin State Fair earlier this week was "taken aback" after he noticed that a prize-winning cow had a name so offensive that he claimed it was "on the same level" as the N-word.
On Thursday, David Blake of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, near Waukesha, joined tens of thousands of others at the Wisconsin State Fair, an annual event dating back all the way to 1851. While Blake was wandering about the bovine area, he saw a cow name that apparently stopped him dead in his tracks.
