Chris Smalls Redefines Freedom

“We are not quitting our jobs anymore. We are organizing.” An underreported aspect of Amazon Labor Union’s victory is the work the organization’s president, Christian Smalls, does in interpreting what the union election victory means. Lost in the more cinematic aspects of ALU’s campaign, that is, the tale of…

Whoopi on Ice

I have recently obtained footage of Whoopi Goldberg’s meeting with the ABC Network President: Let me walk you through how this works. The Holocaust was about race because race is about kind, not color. The “genos” in genocide isn’t Greek for color; it’s Greek for kind. …

COVID and the Meaning of Life

At first blush, it seems presumptuous to invoke the meaning of life in a political discussion, but in my defense, a few hundred years ago, it was presumptuous for a slaver named Thomas Jefferson to invoke the meaning of self-government, yet here we are. Freedom requires the courage to be…

Libertarians and the Right to Repair

I was chatting with a GPS programmer for John Deere. The conversation was fascinating. Apparently, legacy farmers are upset because in order to stay competitive, they have to mortgage tractors that cost as much as a house, and if something happens, the farmers can’t just fix the machinery themselves, like…
