Winners, Losers and Links
Winners
The NBA - They provided a bad media product. They have half the ratings of a decade ago. They are about the sign a mega-media rights deal and expand by two teams. Mr. Powell, jack rates up please.
Biden - His behavior is setting expectations so low that he should be able to exceed debate performance hurdles provided he has the right drug cocktail.
Mr. Farage - Reform has some momentum. Will voters show up on election day? If so, it would be an amazing return for the mad lad.
Losers
Tories - It’s over. It is well deserved.
Trudeau - Polling shows it is over for him too. Weird legacy he will leave behind. Steward of the transition from goofy liberal nation to woke, immigrant inundated dystopia.
American Consumers - There is no good statistic or survey. It’s hard out there. Good luck navigating the current situation and preparing for the next leg down.

The response to Mr. Caplan's excellent "The Case Against Education" is positively weak. Reform would be racist in practice, o no! We need day jails for shitty kids! Getting rid of the schools would mean that women would need to stay home!
The amount of not-getting-it that some people achieve is simply remarkable. We live in an irreparably toxic stew of chronic disease and social fracture and some people think we can tinker with the food pyramid and the core curriculum and we'll be all fixed up. Madness
