Piece on the history of 'gun control'

“The story of the 2nd Amendment and its infringement throughout our history has always had a strong theme of racial oppression,” wrote Katzenberg, along with editor Jonathan Fischer and executive producer Geoff Arrobio, in a joint email interview. “The right to bear arms was denied Native Americans, Blacks, Mexican and Asians.  We didn’t have to design these facts, only present them. Up until the early 1900s gun control was clearly racist. These days, that page of the gun control playbook has turned. Now it's elitism on a global scale.”
Covered-over by the "We are doing it to save you, to protect you!" bullshit.


From the gentleman at RNS on the attempts to push minimum wage WAY up:

They also know that this is likely one of the hardest things they’ll ever have to do. Not only do they have to learn a skill that requires pro-gamer level hand-eye coordination, the degree program also includes coursework involving Trigonometry, Chemistry, Metallurgy and Electrical Theory. Guys like myself are tacking on Fabrication courses which involve wickedly strange geometric formulas and Auto-CAD. All in 15 months. Some of these guys never finished high school and are working their asses off trying to keep up AND hold down at least part-time jobs.

There is no way any of them are going to let some hare-brained socialist hand $15 an hour to someone who slings coffee in the daytime for their inspiration to write shitty poetry at night. If there is going to be a “Second Industrial Revolution” in the US, as the signs are pointing towards, there will likely also be a “fiscal conservative revival” following it up closely.


Reason #371 to get rid of the EPA:
“To tell people that science and technology improvements will allow us to take action moving forward that meets the needs of this president as he has charged EPA,...
