I have to say I'm not surprised Musk is against the new Big Beautiful Bill because it is full of waste, fraud, and abuse, the very things DOGE was trying to stop. Good for him and for people who still have a shred of integrity left. Some subjective thoughts on the matter.

Still fighting a cold, but I wanted to follow up on yesterday's episode with another way of shifting subjectivity in order to access more information. I have discussed it before on other episodes but in the context of a greater topic.

Hearing the news of the day (the drone attacks in Russia), I thought I would discuss the idea of using multiple perspectives to try to get a handle on what happened and what might happen next. Other people probably talk about multiple perspectives, but this is the way I do it.

It's Jesus day again. Paternalism and Selfishness were on my mind these past couple of weeks. That's probably why they were brought up in today's sermon.

Blessings.

With all the calls for price fixing and manipulation through government edict, I thought I would do an episode on prices. The Soviet Union did not have price discovery and thus became an immoral country. We are certainly headed in that direction.

I was asked to give a speech at our Middle School moving up ceremony, aka graduation. I thought I would talk about "change." But change doesn't just happen once in life. Life is all about change to the point that the only thing that does not change is change. How do we live in a life where there are no permanent reference points? hmm

"Something Must be Done!!" Well, sure... we all are confronted with that challenge all the time. We must take care when it is the gov't who asks and answers that challenge. Nothing good can come from it. Three years ago, I had an exchange on FB with a genius friend of mine who remembers me from my more "happy go lucky and mindless" phase of my life. I share that exchange and conclude with some thoughts.

America really does have a hypocrisy problem, and it is getting worse. Trump's comments about how crazy Putin is just peak hypocrisy. Or does he already forget the people killed in Yemen? So, what is going on with all this hypocrisy?

Hope you had a great Holiday. I focus on a Mises Institute conference on War Revisionism. It was great and I share some highlights with my own conclusion. Here's to more Peace and Fewer war deaths in our future!!

It's Sunday/Jesus Day again, and it's Memorial Day to boot. The Apostle Peter exhorts us to Love Life and Pursue Peace. In some ways, with respect to veterans past and present, days like Memorial Day do the opposite. What do I mean by that and how do we pursue peace and love Life? What might be an alternative?
