“The essential notion of a capitalistic society is voluntary cooperation, voluntary exchange. The essential notion of a socialist society is force.” Economist Milton Friedman

I read an article about Gen Zer’s. They are complaining about the lack of credit. One young woman was denied a bank credit card. She had no job and thus no income. The bank was doing her a favor.

The NBA started its season. The Charlotte Hornets won their first game. The score was 136 to 117. Where was the defense? A total of 253 points were scored by both teams. about 1 point every 5 minutes of game time.

Whooping cough is a very contagious infection that spreads by coughing on others. The disease is particularly dangerous to infants and young children. The State of NC recorded 600+ cases in 2024, the highest number of cases in 70 years and 6X the number of cases in 2023. Why?? The reason is simple children are not getting vaccinated. That is the law in NC. I am guessing that these cases are highest among illegal immigrants.

Planned Parenthood has 600 locations in the US. The clinics provided 5 million STI (sexually transmitted infections) tests in 2024, along with other services like abortions and family planning (contraceptives). The current administration has cut the funding for PPH, same with some states. The reason for funding cuts is using taxpayer $$$’s for abortions. I get that, but unwanted pregnancies and births cost a lot more. Find a way to provide these services. “Pay me now-or pay me later.”

Since 1959 Cubans have had “special privileges” for immigration into the US. They fled the Casto regime and were given food, money and medicine. Now, 66 years later Cubans are crossing the US border illegally and asking for “special treatment.” Biden granted Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans special privileges for entry into the US. Trump has changed that, and many are being caught and deported. Interestingly, Cuba won’t take these illegal immigrants back!!!

Lastly, England has become a world leader in stolen property. In 2024 England had 130,00 vehicles stolen and 70,00 stolen cell phones. Most of the thefts are done by crime syndicates, highly organized criminal enterprises. Stolen cars and trucks are shipped to Africa, mostly to DRC. Phones go to China. Auto Insurance rates a high in England. Police investigate but only solve 5% of these cases. Pitiful!
