Merit Based and Colorblind

Granite Grok - Tue, 2025-02-18 01:00 +0000
The market economy is the first economic system that makes it profitable to be colour-blind and look for the best supply and the best demand, regardless of who is responsible for it. Of course, it will not make everyone colorblind, but it does so more than otherwise would have been the case (especially in combination ... Read more

This State Will No Longer Push Vaccines

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-02-17 21:00 +0000
With a nod to Marxism’s goal of breaking everything, trust in public health, hospitals, and medicine is at an all-time low. The response to SARS CoV2 fractured public confidence, and while there’s room for a discussion about whether that was the point or just a helpful artifact, that ship has sailed. The triad of hospitals, ... Read more

Granite Grok - Mon, 2025-02-17 03:00 +0000
First, let me say for the record that any Republican that supports a new tax or the expansion of Big Government is really a Democrat.  We all know that the latter gobbles up such bills like flies on fresh excrement.  No matter how noble or popular the objective is, taxation is still theft.  SB255 establishes ...

Last year several parents, including myself, began warning school administrators about a child sexual predator attending the high school girl’s soccer games.
