Some weird -- or may not -- headlines of the day

"Talented Democrats Are All Running for President. It's a Problem". It's a Bloomberg opinion piece, but it still made me laugh at the choice of the word "talented." 

Then it goes to discuss two democrat candidates from Texas, who I guess are going to run for President (which Democrat isn't), because they can't win local Texas elections. 

These, and all the current Democratic hopefuls, are not talented. They are just popular with left-wing liberals. 

Here's some other scary stuff to make you glad it's TGIF.

A recession? Financial advisers say it's right around the corner — or not (This from a publication that is written for Certified Financial Advisors).  The sub head reads: A case can be made that the economy is headed for an imminent slowdown or still has some juice left. If this is the best analysis CFA can come up with, caveat emptor.

New York City Experienced Worst Decline in Restaurant Jobs since 9/11 After $15 Minimum Wage Win
Every economist in the U.S. predicted this would happen, just as it's happening in Seattle, which did the same thing. Oh...except for our left-wing NYT "writer" Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize withstanding. But then, we all know what a Nobel means these days after Obama got his for basically doing nothing. 


Why Do Millennials Want Socialism?
Take one guess. Our education system that teaches capitalism is a bad and unfair system.

California's Rendezvous With Reality
Used to be said that as California goes, so does the rest of the country. Hope not. 

Here's another educated lecture from the same author about California, who happens to be a professor at Stanford and a California native.

California: A Model for the Rest of the Country, Part 2

Part 1 here . On Leaving the Golden State Guest Post by NicklethroweR . Posted on the Burning Platform. The fabled Ventura Highway is all that separates my artist loft from the beach where surfing first came to the United States. Both my balcony and front patio face the freeway at about eye level and I could easily smack a tennis ball right on to the ever busy 101. Access to the beach and boardwalk is very important to a Tourist Town such as mine and I can see one underpass from my balcony and another underpass from the patio. Further up the street are two pedestrian bridges. Both have been recently remodeled so that people can not use it to kill themselves by leaping down into traffic. The traffic, just like the spice, must flow and the elites that live here do not like to be inconvenienced as they dart about between Malibu and Santa Barbara. Another feature of living where I live would have to be the homeless, the insane and the drug addicts that wander this particular...

School Choice Passed by Texas Senate

The Texas Senate on Thursday approved a $500 million school choice bill mostly along party lines after hours of passionate debate. It will now head for consideration in the House, where members rejected similar proposals during the regular session. Senators passed Senate Bill 1 by a 18-13 vote, with one Republican joining all Democrats in voting against the measure. The bill will likely face steep resistance in the House, where Democratic members and many rural Republicans have vehemently opposed such proposals. School choice programs, also called education savings accounts or vouchers, use public money to help pay for a child’s private schooling. “We must recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't fit the needs of our diverse student population,” said Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, who authored SB 1 and estimated the proposal could serve about 60,000 students. Texas has about 5.5 million children in public schools. Public schools have failed the American people, especi...
