TGIF: Let's Stop the Merchants of Death

Imagine that back in the day, the U.S. government had contracted postal services out to a private company rather than setting up its own “public” agency. Today the U.S. Postal Corp. would have officers, directors, and employees who were noton the government payroll. They would be paid from the money raised by selling its services to the public and the government.
Would things be essentially different from how they are today? I think not.

TGIF: Trump's Middle East Delusions Persist

TGIF: Anarchism and Kavanaugh

Regarding Brett Kavanaugh, I’ve been wondering how I can blame the state for what we’ve endured these past weeks. I can safely say that without the state, we would have been spared the Kavanaugh episode.
