1923 Beer Hall Putsch to 1933 Nazi Germany The 1923 Beer Hall Putsch was Hitler's failed attempt to overthrow the Weimar Republic. By 1933, he was Chancellor of Germany. That lesson of history is being repeated with Nazi Trump and his praise of the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection and Nazi Trump's current election campaign for 2024, aided by his Death Cult Nazi Republican Party.

Repealed Law Would Have Prevented FL Condo Collapse, etc. For 2 weeks now, we have watched this metaphor for the rotten, collapsing US economy, the Surfside, Florida condominium collapse that perhaps killed 140 people, due to obvious construction defects and lack of maintenance. It turns out this all could have been avoided if a 2008 law was not repealed in 2010 by the real estate lobby requiring reserve studies every 5 years.

They use the outward decorum of courts and trials to disguise their criminality. People like Julian who reveal this criminality and show it to the public are dangerous. For without the pretense of legality, tyranny loses credibility....

Supreme Court guts voting rights when upholding Arizona’s restrictions, elected officials The U.S. Supreme Court gutted most of what remains of the landmark Voting Rights Act. Once hailed as the most effective civil rights legislation in the nation's history, now the Supreme Court has turned on the promise of democracy, the promise of equality and equity for all. For without voting rights, communities of color and low income become disenfranchised, and equality and equity unfulfilled dreams....

Chicago School Economists Got it Wrong. Strong Antitrust Policy Boosts the Economy When mergers increase market concentration, we know that competition has been harmed even if to a small extent. Since this is the case, it makes sense to ask the merging parties to establish that the merger will provide benefits to the economy. The merging parties should be forced to document how the merger will increase product quality and lower price....
