The 4% Solution draws on the best minds in the business, including five Nobel laureates:

· Robert E. Lucas, Jr., on the history and future of economic growth
· Gary S. Becker on why we need immigrants in order to grow
· Edward Prescott on the cost (to growth) of the welfare state
· Vernon Smith on why housing leads us into and out of recessions
· Myron Scholes on why we need to innovate in order to grow the economy

oh boy

I disagree with this personally, but as long as you make sure not to give any of those Nazis any money by actually buying their albums or merch I guess it's not that bad.




In addition to the cheeses, those guns are all either illegal or not actually automatic. So maybe try a different facebook meme.

The Maricopa County Courthouse and Phoenix City Hall used to be in the same building back in the day and it looked pretty sweet:







I can't find any good pictures of the new courthouse, but it's pretty nasty looking.

Turns out that libertarians who believe laws work like magical incantations aren't exclusive to America.

Yeah these guys are everywhere. I once had a youtube meltdown where I spent an entire day watching right to travel, free keene, and check point refusal videos. Here's a guy in the UK getting arrested for being an idiot:

With 2013 being celebrated as the 400th anniversary of Dutch-Russian diplomatic relations, the two countries continued their slide into icy mutual disdain on Sunday as King Willem-Alexander and his wife Maxima were pelted with tomatoes at a theater in Moscow by supporters of Eduard Limonov's National Bolshevik Party, who were protesting the suicide of a Russian émigré at a Dutch detention center earlier this year.

The Dutch King is under domestic pressure to ask Putin to free Dutch Greenpeace activists who were detained while protesting at a Russian drilling platform in the arctic earlier this year. In between these incidents the Dutch and Russian ambassador's to each other's land were beaten in their homes by police of their host countries and detained, in full disregard of the ancient custom of diplomatic immunity. Putin's trip to Amsterdam this April and other festivities in the Dutch capital celebrating the anniversary were met with severe protest from Dutch citizens speaking out for rights, including public dumping of Russian vodka into the streets by the city's many gay bars. Gay rights groups in the Netherlands have asked the country to boycott the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Dutch tulips have recently been banned from being imported into Russia, with Russian customs officials citing a sudden disease risk.

I will never grow tired of this stuff. How does this even happen?

The state of mental healthcare in this country probably has something to do with it.

And I'm sure if the officer had been aware of that robbery, or it had anything to do with the incident, that would be an important thing to consider.



The initial stop wasn't robbery related, but according to his testimony he later made the connection:

quote:

Wilson told jurors that he initially encountered Brown and a friend walking in a street and, when he told them to move to a sidewalk, Brown responded with an expletive. Michael Brown was shot and killed on Aug. 9.

Wilson then noticed that Brown had a handful of cigars, "and that's when it clicked for me," he said, referring to a radio report minutes earlier of a robbery at a nearby convenience store.
