And the long weekend off
I accidentally published last Wednesday’s post, “A Straw Man and “Free” Market Economics,” at 5PM instead of AM. If you missed it and would like to read it, simply click the title (the underlined bit above) and you should be able to read it on Substack rather than hunting for it in your email. It generated more than the usual number of positive “Reply” emails from among those who did see it.
Notes:
RFK Jr. joining the Trump/Vance campaign is just one more addition to the Trump version of the Star Wars’ “Creature Cantina.” (Credit for that image goes to Steve Schmidt of The Warning.)
I cannot quite remember where I read this contrast, but I thought it was worth thinking about and sharing: The whole Republican National Convention (and several incidents since, like the Arlington National Cemetery incident on Monday, were exercises in the toxic masculinity of the Trump/Vance/Hulk Hogan team. The DNC, as exemplified in particular by VP Candidate, teacher, family man, hunter, and veteran Tim Walz was an exercise in tonicmasculinity.
I plan to skip posting on Labor Day. I should be back on Wednesday, September 2nd. Have a great last holiday weekend of summer and be sure to
Keep to the high ground,
