  19-02-2019 22:46
  
  February 19 marks the birth of a great American individualist, called “one of the most eloquent defenders of freedom in America”–Garet Garrett, who offered what Jeff Tucker called “a sparkling vision of peace under free markets.”
  Of particular relevance is The People’s Pottage, of which Ludwig von Mises wrote, “His keen penetration and his forceful, direct language are…unsurpassed by an author.”

• Recession not likely before 2021, housing economists say

  19-02-2019 22:27
  
  Good news America: The next recession may not appear in 2020, as a majority of economists long had forecast.
  Instead, the next economic downturn could be delayed until 2021 or later, making the current session of economic growth — now almost a decade old — the longest in U.S. history by June. That’s the view of three housing economists speaking Tuesday at the annual convention of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in Las Vegas.

  TEMPE, Ariz. — Justin Upton is in no hurry to get on the field in spring training, as he lets tendinitis in his knee calm down.
  Upton said he suffered the injury running in the offseason, and now he plans to “take it slow.” He said he isn’t expecting to be playing spring training games in the early part of the Cactus League schedule, but he doesn’t anticipate any problem being ready for opening day.
  “It won’t be a problem,” Upton said on Tuesday. &

• California made $345 million, not predicted $1 billion, on legal cannabis in 2018

  19-02-2019 21:40
  
  California took in $345.2 million in tax revenue from legal cannabis during the first year of regulated sales in 2018, according to figures the state released Tuesday.
  That’s just more than a third of the $1 billion in annual revenue analysts predicted California would see once the state’s regulated cannabis industry was in full gear. But it does put the state on track to hit the revenue totals Gov. Gavin Newsom forecast in his current fiscal year budget.

• Ayn Rand’s “money speech” worth another read as the left vilifies capitalism

  With a new batch of politicians in D.C. espousing socialism, victimization and House freshman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (“AOC”) running Amazon’s jobs out of New York, etc., it might be a good time to re-read Ayn Rand’s work.
  We are so far from victimized in America, we have to hire two Nigerians to pretend we are.

• Neither major political party equipped to do anything about $22 trillion national debt

  Reflecting perpetual bipartisan profligacy out of the federal government, the national debt surpassed $22 trillion last week, more than double what it was just a decade ago. While it might be convenient or sensational enough for the political establishment of either major party to discuss, ignoring it won’t make it go away; it just makes things worse.
