A very sad commentary on how government crushes entrepreneurs

If you are wondering why the States of California and Illinois are in the tank financially and what makes them so unfriendly to business, you only need to read this article written before the Clinton administration to grasp how systemic the problem is. It's not just taxes, it's permitting, licensing, red tape, slow governmental response and lack of action that strangles the baby in the crib. The only reason so much software is developed there is because they hadn't yet figured out how to license software developers. You can't hang wallpaper without a license in California.

Stop the charade, nobody is convinced anymore by the TSA show, it
hasn’t gotten better, it is worse, no real terrorist has
been stopped. Look for the tests conducted to see if screening is
effective and then realize we are better off without TSA.
At least we won’t spend money on nothing.

The TSA has largely succeeded in enforcing its own rules. How many bombers has the TSA thwarted since its inception? The answer is zero. Contrast that figure with the gallons and gallons of hand lotion the agency has confiscated. As bags pass on the conveyer belt, agents stare intently at x-ray scre...
When most people think of occupations requiring fingerprints and
police reports, corner bookshop owners don't spring to mind. Try telling
that to Los Angeles, where many used booksellers are required by law to
get a police permit and take a thumbprint from every 40-something
trying to offload his collection of French poetry.
That's one scene from a study to be released this week by the
Institute for Justice, which has collected dozens of examples of
regulations choking economic growth by taxing and over-licensing small
businesses. In a survey of eight major cities, the study found that
entrepreneurs routinely face obstacles of bureaucracy and red tape that
deter them from otherwise promising opportunities.

The Wall Street Journal reports in an editorial on a new study by the Institute for Justice documenting how city regulations harm small business.
Electric car goes from Munich to Berlin, 372 miles on one charge. That makes it more interesting. the whole hybrid car thing was a foolish move in the USA. One commenter to this story says about hybrid cars when it came up:
"What's the point when their turbo diesels still had better gas mileage
than the over-hyped hybrids the stupid Americans fell for.
Turbo diesel is finally being brought to America's attention at least, although 20 years too late".
IF this kind of technology really works reliably (I'll need to know more about the battery technology) this will become a practical alternative.
Meanwhile we have the oversize golf cart with a back up gas engine made by Government Motors being pushed on us like hybrids were.
I guess the CEO in Washington at 1600 must think we are really gullible.

An electric car drove from Munich in southern Germany to Berlin without recharging its battery on Tuesday, setting what organisers hailed as a new world distance record for an everyday vehicle.
The stomper was wrong. Nobody should be stomped. In particular not a woman. I did watch the video. Seems like there might have been some gender confusion. If she had worn a dress and had long hair, the stomping would have been far less likely. I'm just sayin...

Who will take his place?
They call retired salesman Don Ritchie "the watchman." Each day, as he sits in his favorite chair at his cliffside home, he looks up and scans the precipice that takes the lives of approximately 50 suicide jumpers each year, trying to discern the intentions of visitors. When somebody seems to
Eventually the USA will have to invade Mexico and replace the failed government. The political will to solve these problems is not there. The USA cannot have a Narco Terrorist Failed State on it's southern boarder. A wall will not help. The idea of building a barrier to keep this evil out is not practical anymore. ... AND this is unrelated to illegals present or coming to the USA. This is about a terrorist state on our boarder for thousands of miles. Just wait. This will have to stop and it will take military intervention. The world will hate this...but it is essential.

NPR is now an embarrassment even for the fringe left
Firing Juan Williams invited the inevitable criticism from conservatives who have always bristled at NPR’s federal funding and leftward drift. But the more progressive-minded however, now have a reason to question whether they ought to continue citing NPR as a thoughtful outlet insulated from
