Roger Kimball: On the omerta | Power Line

Roger Kimball: On the omerta | Power Line
"...I am so glad that you wrote about the mainstream media’s policy of omertà (a code of silence about criminal activity and a refusal to give evidence to authorities.) regarding Andy McCarthy’s Ball of Collusion and Lee Smith’s The Plot Against the President. 
Both books, as you say, are essential to our understanding of what has turned out to be the most serious political scandal in the history of the American Republic...because the nature of the scandal—the weaponization of our intelligence community in order to overturn a Presidential election—is at once so grievous and so misreported by the organs of a co-opted Fourth Estate that the usual niceties about declaring an interest pale before the egregious reality of this attempted coup. 

Again, I am not being hyperbolic in deploying the phrase “attempted coup.”

What we have seen in the response to both books is a perfect storm of unspoken media collusion to bury the books in order to preserve The Narrative..."

The Cobra Effect: Lessons in Unintended Consequences - Foundation for Economic Education

The Cobra Effect: Lessons in Unintended Consequences - Foundation for Economic Education:

• Human beings react to every rule, regulation, and order governments impose, and their reactions result in outcomes that can be quite different than the outcomes lawmakers intended.

"Every human decision brings with it unintended consequences.
...Other times unintended consequences have far-reaching, dramatic effects. 
The US health care system is a case in point.
It emerged in its present form in no small part because of two governmental decisions.
First, wage and price controls during World War II caused employers to add health insurance as an employee benefit.
Why?
The law prohibited employers from raising wages, so to attract workers, they offered to provide health insurance.
Then, in 1951, Congress declared that employer-provided health insurance benefits would not count as taxable income.
This made it cheaper for employees to take raises in the form of increased tax-free insurance benefits rather than in the form of increased taxable wages.
Unintended consequences happen so often that economists call them “Cobra Problems,” after one of the most interesting examples..."

Societal suicide-----Portland considers "mandatory rest spaces" for the homeless on private property

Portland considers "mandatory rest spaces" for the homeless on private property
"Portland, Oregon, like many cities on the left coast, is struggling with a growing homelessness crisis.
But what can they do about it?
One idea that’s now being floated is to change the building codes so that all new structures (including private property, not just government buildings) include spaces for people to “rest” and “feel welcome and safe.” 
This understandably has prospective property owners concerned, since the wording is all quite vague and suggests that they will be forced to allow the homeless to camp in and around their buildings..."

Detroit’s comeback is a myth | Spectator USA

Detroit’s comeback is a myth | Spectator USA:

• The economy booms, the construction cranes jam the skylines while the homeless set up camp on the sidewalks and bathe in the public fountains

"...For all the electronic chatter about the comeback of Detroit, it is hard to see it here at the Social Security office, miles from the refurbished office towers of downtown...

Out here in the real Detroit, where 650,000 of the poorest people in America live, no one seems to blame a guy for pulling the invisible-dog hustle. 
Out here in the other Detroit, the glass is perpetually nearly half-empty: nearly half the children live in poverty; average household income is nearly half that of the United States in general; nearly half the adults are functionally illiterate and consequently nearly half the adult population are not only unemployed, but they’re not even looking for a job.
...Today, the budget is balanced, condominiums are being built and thousands of people have moved downtown to live and work. 
Development is booming, much of it with substantial public subsides.

It’s welfare for the rich..."

Searching for reasons to be offended-----Mike Bloomberg sorry for calling Cory Booker 'well spoken'

Mike Bloomberg sorry for calling Cory Booker 'well spoken'
"Mike Bloomberg apologized for calling fellow presidential candidate Cory Booker “well spoken” in a TV interview Friday, after the New Jersey senator said he was “taken aback” by what he saw as a racist “trope.”
“I probably shouldn’t have used the word, but I could just tell you he is a friend of mine,” Bloomberg told reporters in Georgia later Friday.
...Booker criticized Bloomberg’s use of the phrase — which is considered condescending and offensive by many African American — after he said it during a “CBS This Morning” interview earlier Friday.
“I was taken aback by it,” Booker, 50, told SiriusXM radio show Signal Boost, adding he hoped the multi-billionaire now understood why the comment was hurtful..."
