RIP.
I saw one of his last (maybe his last) speeches at LibertyCon in DC a few months ago (during my trial, but on the weekend). He didn’t look well, but I didn’t know that he had cancer.

California’s War On Business
The Biden administration wants to do this nationwide, but they’ll have to do it with illegal executive orders, because they’d never get the needed legislation through Congress.
San Bernardino
The biggest county in the lower 48 wants to secede from California.
I think there would be adequate resources to support it. I imagine a lot of Californians would move there if it happened.
Vibesession
In the real world, people are hurting.
And all the gaslighting from the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) isn’t going to change their minds.
Blue States
Republicans are a growing threat to Democrats there.
Non-Profits
No, there’s nothing noble about them, and in fact they are doing a lot of evil.
[Friday-morning update]
The Non-Profit Industrial Complex and the corruption of the American city.
And Jeffrey Carter says it’s time to blow it up.

Glenn Loury
What he taught me.
The Pace Of Vulcan Rockets
The Air Force is growing concerned.
I suspect that ULA has been so focused on competing against SpaceX on price that it’s ignored the need to compete on tempo. The fact that SpaceX reuses its boosters means that its launch cadence is not constrained by manufacturing capacity. I think that ULA made a bad decision in assuming that launch rates would not be dramatically increasing when doing its cost/benefit analysis on reusability.
Climate Science Versus Climate Activism
On the importance of distinguishing them.
As noted, that this was published in Nature may be an indication that there are growing cracks in the wall of the hysteria.
Mars Sample Return
A practical but politically incorrect approach from Bob Zubrin.
