1. Eternal employment.
2. The nanny state gets all real.
3. I do want to thank all you kids. Yes, I'm already rich and all. But it's good of you younglings to pay for all my healthcare anyway. We just need more of you. I plan to be expensive.
4. The Momo hoax. Local news is an active participant. Including the ridiculous talking heads at WRAL, our home news fabricator here in Raleigh. Embarrassing.
5. Famines no longer exist, unless there is a war or a state uses famine as a weapon of genocide. Capitalism is not the only reason, but it's a big part of the reason this is true.
6. Now that Amazon is up to 5% of the retail market, they must be broken up. Wait, what? That's 5%, folks. Not 50%, just 5%.
7. He's tall, he's rich, he's got good hair and creamy white skin. Why should Manafort have to be in some icky jail? Well, because he's a $^&%*^&% criminal, for one thing.
8. Tipping flight attendants. But it's only on in-flight purchases. I tip in the Sky Club. Why not in the sky?
9. On Ilhan Omar. To her credit, criticizes Obama. Good for her.
10. I'm not sure people who advocate socialism "don't understand" what socialism is. But I know that we disagree about what socialism is.
11. "The Walk" was not good.
12. Researchers, or corporate allies?
13. The dishwater of orthodoxies.
14. Facial recognition.
15. W F Buckley.
16. Aid to Venezuela?
17. Not sure this is real. But it says....something. Not sure
just what.
18. Images of the divine.
19. I'm not sure this is on the up-and-up. Twice? Same store?
20. People who believe in magic always want to destroy technology, because they think it's magic.
21. Occupational licensing. If we can't get rid of it, perhaps we can just start it in prison?
22. This is interesting. CNN recognizes that war increase new viewership, perhaps? Because it turns out....
23. Luxury car subscription.
24. My Duke colleague Jack Knight, on political science.
Grand Lagniappe: Remember how you drew cars when you were 5 or 6? It lives.

#3 A bunch of Government bureaucrats and politicians got together and asked what segment of the population can we insurance with taxpayers money that yield the least improved health years per dollar spent? Some politician yelled out, the elderly! Another added, and they vote. Another added, and so do MD's, who they keep stiffing! And so Medicare was born.
