Free kibbles

SOCIALISM:

Cuban government allows citizens to buy and sell real estate. Funny how Cuba is going in the right direction - away from socialism - and the US is going in the wrong direction.

ECONOMY:

Imagine if you had to know the quality and quantity of every food harvest in America at every farm every week, and you had to allocate resources in response. That would be an impossible job. Fortunately, we still have a relatively free market in produce trading, so the bad harvest in peanuts is built into the price so nobody has to take on the impossible job of managing it.

The USA Today tries to make the case that Obama's policies have made the US economy stronger than Europe's. That's like claiming that Stalin was a great guy because he killed fewer people than Mao.

TAX AND SPEND:

The Greek PM resigns in attempt to save Greek profligacy and the euro. Both those things can't happen. He's just running away to escape the noose that's likely to follow. Greeks are going to get far more violent and their government will be forced to abandon the euro. Every deal that has been made to save the Greek government has failed and any new deals will fail. The euro is doomed.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Google is reportedly downgrading websites that are skeptical of great global warming fraud.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Pakistani government promotes trade with India. Trade is the harbinger of peace.

MISC:

Great advice for Android marketers and designers. Android commercials are stupid.

New evidence that dogs and men have been partners for tens of thousands of years.

Why government jobs are not productive. They don't create wealth, but Murphy never uses the word wealth in this article.
