April 19, 2020

April 18, 2020

What we need is the laissez-faire spirit of the California Gold Rush to revive risk-taking, investment and as many individual opportunities as possible. The goal should be to clear all identifiable impediments to the restoration of old jobs and the creation of new jobs that didn’t exist two months ago.

Dr. Keith Smith and Partners at the Surgery Center of Oklahoma Scoff at Universal Health Care Victimhood

April 12, 2020

By striving to “flatten” the world into a single, borderless entity in pursuit of nothing but profit and prosperity, this worldview has created huge blind spots. It failed to predict that China would build on its early advantage in sheer numbers of low-skilled workers to lock in a dominant and increasingly powerful position for itself.
