Robots to Rule the World? Taking All Jobs? Replace Women?

Posted on by

“Manufacturing may be returning to the US, but the jobs are nowhere to be found. Moreover, the higher the salaries of workers, and the more benefits workers demand, the greater the incentives of manufacturers to eliminate humans.  Apple plans to install a million robots in China to ‘supplement’ its work force.   A large banner at Flextronics plant  proudly proclaims ‘Bringing Jobs & Manufacturing Back to California!’ but the assembly line runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week few human workers.  If you want to blame something for the loss of manufacturing jobs, blame increased productivity, not China or NAFTA.”

Israel Kirzner on Ethics and Entrepreneurship

Posted on by

“Kirzner talks about ethics, entrepreneurship, and how wealth is created in society. He also describes the distinction he made between two kinds of ignorance: ignorance of specific knowledge but having the knowledge of how specific knowledge may be obtained, and sheer ignorance — not knowing how to access specific knowledge because we don’t know what we don’t know. Kirzner says that sheer ignorance requires an entrepreneurial role to overcome it, which allows entrepreneurs to discover demand for products and services that consumers didn’t even know they needed or wanted.”

Waiting For Superman (2010 Documentary)

Posted on by

“Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education “statistics” have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying “drop-out factories” and ‘academic sinkholes,’ methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.”

The Machine: The Truth Behind Teachers Unions

Posted on by

“For decades, teachers’ unions have been among our nation’s largest political donors. As Reason Foundation’s Lisa Snell has noted, the National Education Association (NEA) alone spent $40 million on the 2010 election cycle. As the country’s largest teachers union, the NEA is only one cog in the infernal machine that robs parents of their tax dollars and students of their futures.  Students, teachers, parents, and hardworking Americans are all victims of this political machine–a system that takes money out of taxpayers’ wallets and gives it to union bosses, who put it in the pockets of politicians.”

Judge Napolitano on the Virtues of Private Justice

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Napolitano3.jpg

“If you steal my chicken or I steal your cow, this is a dispute between us; what does the government care about it? The answer should be it doesn’t care at all but because the state loves power and the state does not like to share power. This drives up the cost and diminishes justice because it forces the disputants to follow the state’s rule and the state’s command and the state’s way, and this does not inure to politeness, civility or even the idea that a dispute could possibly be resolved amicably and justly, without the state being involved. The state is not an instrument of justice; it’s an instrument of power.”

Street Libertarians Handle the Police

Posted on by

“The clip below shows a police stop in East Providence, Rhode Island. It shows again what I have stated before, if you know the law, it is pretty easy to intimidate most police. Most police are first and foremost concerned about their jobs.   Recordings of police activities are the great leveler.  It is also interesting to note in this clip that at one point one of the cops states that there aren’t going to be any police pensions in five years—in other words, the public, even coppers, are really scared about what’s coming down the economic road.”

Will Grigg: Living in Amerika

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Anaheim+Staatspolitzei1.jpg

“Conservatives haunted by the prospect of a UN-led invasion and occupation of the United States should focus their concerns on their local police department, rather than the tombstone-shaped UN Headquarters Building in New York City. Rather than indulging in fantasies involving blue helmeted foreign troops, they should fasten their attention on the activities of their local SWAT team – which is the local affiliate of a federal apparatus of repression that grew out of two related UN initiatives. Largely ignored, these two documents – and the policies that sprang from them – are directly implicated in the growth and expansion of America’s police state.”

State-Licensed Human Trafficking

Posted on by

“Over the last decade, CCA spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying on behalf of policies that increase the demand for prison space. In a 2011 corporate report, GEO Group, another prison contractor, described how its profits depended on the state providing a steady supply of inmates. This is why the company opposes ‘the relaxation of criminal or immigration enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction, sentencing or deportation practices, [and] … the decriminalization of drugs and controlled substances[.]’  This is a system designed to expand the profits of politically connected corporations, not to protect the public from violent crime.”

Robber tries 3 police stations before turning himself in

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Robber-turns-self-in-via-CNN-615x3451.png

“When he was contacted by an ex-girlfriend who had seen his pictures in a newscast, Leverett determined that it was time to turn himself in.  Unfortunately for Leverett, budget cutbacks have left several local police stations unmanned except for certain specific hours. He first tried police headquarters, only to find it deserted. Next he tried a sub-station located on Tucson’s ‘Miracle Mile.’ It, too, was locked and dark.  Finally, Leverett drove himself straight to the Pima County Jail, and only there was he able to surrender to authorities.”
