In recent years, it seems that the nation’s CEOs and billionaires are increasingly willing to drop the pretense that they are politically neutral entrepreneurs who simply want to go about their business.
Last week, for example, more than 100 CEOs met to plot ways to punish the people of Georgia by “stopping investments in states” that pass laws unapproved by the billionaire class.
This comes in the wake of a decision by Major League Baseball a collection of billionaire-owned sports teams to punish residents of Georgia for the fact a tiny number of politicians there passed legislation designed to lessen voter fraud. In retaliation, the MLB decided to move the league’s all-star game so as to deny the residents of Atlanta the economic benefits of hosting the game.
Conversation with John Mackey of Whole Foods on Libertarian Theory (Mark Skousen and Richard Ebeling too)
Dear John:
It all depends. For the mainstream empiricist monetarist like Friedman, it would be falsifiable; you’d just go out and measure whether or not inflationary expectations are low, whether or not the demand to hold money has increased (parenthetically, these two are not unrelated). If this was true, then the monetarist hypothesis would be accepted in this one case. If not, rejected.
It is not at all falsifiable for Austrian economists such as myself (and Mises, Rothbard and others). We do not agree with your implicit contention that if a claim is not falsifiable, that it is just a mere tautology, having nothing to do with the real world.
Editor s Note: The Twilight of Stanford Share:
Stanford is known for a certain unique ethos that is dying, through a combination of not only carelessness but concerted effort on the part of University administrators.
Stanfordâs reputation, which attracted me and countless others to the University, offers students a stake in the birthplace of Silicon Valley, the worldâs epicenter of creativity and risk. Stanford students are less elitist than our East Coast peers, and more well-rounded: Stanford offers amenities, like Greek life and competitive athletic teams, absent in earlier iterations of the prestigious American university. The universityâs unstructured curriculum expects its students to either succeed at the highest level in their own arenas, or create entirely new spheres for success. Stanford revels in nonconformity and experimentation. It was through these characteristics that Stanford gained its prestige.
No, Rush Limbaugh did not advocate for secession
Rush did NOT push for secession. He was simply responding to a caller and giving his observations.
The looney Brock/Soros Media Matters first noted it and used it against the host. That was followed by people calling him a traitor.
Rush does believe the country is “trending towards secession,” or the act in which states could attempt to leave the Union. His response to the caller:
“I thought you were asking me something else when you said, ‘Can we win?’ I thought you meant, ‘Can we win the culture, can we dominate the culture.’ I actually think and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” Limbaugh said.
