…costs more than fast failure.
This is about defense, but it applies to space as well. NASA in particular suffers from paralysis by analysis, as demonstrated by how long and how much money it took to do that stupid Orion test flight last year (and how long and how much more money it will be until the next one). But it doesn’t matter, because Congress doesn’t really care if anything is accomplished as long as the jobs don’t go away. I may expand on this in the next edition of the book.
It’s time to actually do some science before the government makes more disastrous recommendations. I’m still hearing stupid comments from doctors, like the one on Fox News, about how we should still watch our saturated fat and cholesterol. Why do people think that doctors are nutrition experts?
It’s time to end our “green” worship of them.

Whenever I hear about records for box office, I always wonder if they really are, in terms of inflation adjustment. Well, here’s the top ten with that adjustment. There are a few surprises, but I’m not at all surprised that Gone With The Wind is number one.

Yup. Time for the 10th Amendment to be revived. Finally.
Here’s some useful speculation on what it might look like and do.
They’ve revealed their end game:
…that is why the global warming scare is so hard to kill. The end game is world domination. With such a big prize – the biggest possible, facts aren’t even inconvenient. They are not part of the process. It has been a long slog but gird your loins for a battle that might last into mid-century. Lima was COP 20 and Ms Figueres is prepared to take it to COP 40.
Yup. It’s been a long time since it had anything to do with actual science.
The SJWs have lost the moral high ground, and are on the run.
And of course, this is one of the ways of bypassing the Leftist gatekeepers.
Why libertarians hate it.
Much of the health-care system was a huge infringement on liberty even before it passed. This just made it worse.
