The Morning Report - 3/23/21 [J.J. Sefton]

cocblow.jpg

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and leading the headlines is a shooting spree at a Boulder, Colorado supermarket has left 10 people dead. Among the victims is a hero cop who leaves behind seven children. Prayers for all the victims, their families and anyone affected by this event. No doubt the media is scrambling to find, or more likely manufacture, any sort of motive or links to the MAGA movement, President in Exile Trump, or the usual panoply of "isms" that can be weaponized to further keep us down and the Left in power. Same deal as the Asian massage parlor shooting in Atlanta. Despite the best efforts of the Democrat-Propaganda Complex, there is zero evidence to show anti-Asian sentiment from the perpetrator. In a similar vein, see the story in the crime section about another mass shooting in Chicago, which (like me) if you blinked you missed it since the motive was to lure police into an ambush, much like happened a few years back in Dallas. No matter what, yesterday's tragedy will add fuel to the fire as the Junta ramps up efforts to disarm the citizenry. In any case, as a Lefty bastion, I assume Boulder has some tough gun laws already on the books. Meh, as if that means anything to the gun-grabbers.

Meanwhile, the run on the border continues as the race to completely obliterate any last vestige of our culture and heritage goes into overdrive. As the Junta puts a hobnailed boot to our groin by essentially erasing our souther border and letting anyone and everyone and their uncle come on in, the Chamber of Commerce has the knife over our back, like Norman Bates in drag with his hand on the shower curtain.

The Chamber's push to pass the amnesties is significant because of the campaign cash that the business group continues to funnel to lawmakers, mostly Republicans. In the 2020 election cycle, for instance, the Chamber donated more than $573,000 to Republicans and nearly $212,000 to Democrats.

The biggest campaign donations went to lawmakers such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

The Chamber's support for the amnesties comes as multinational corporations like Amazon, Google, Marriott International, Verizon, and Apple are driving the lobbying effort to pass the more expansive of the two amnesties in the Senate.

Annually, more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards, and another 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas to take U.S. jobs. In addition, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are added to the U.S. population every year.

Flooding the U.S. labor market with more foreign competition, whom working and middle class Americans must compete against, is a boon to the corporate interests, Wall Street investors, and Big Tech as they seek to slash wages and widen profit margins.

The article refers to two bills that would give amnesty to more than 6 million foreigners but the big enchilada, so to speak, is the upwards of 30 million or more illegal aliens already here and just waiting to become registered Democrats and wards of the State; a State that is trillions of dollars in debt, hell bent to take a wrecking ball to industry by banning the use of fossil fuels while destroying any sort of small business enterprise through the imposition of draconian taxes and red tape. I'm no Milton Friedman (PBUH), so someone please explain to me how millions upon millions of new "citizens" are going to find jobs while we are simultaneously eliminating whole swathes of our economy and preventing jobs from being created. This is on top of keeping half of the nation locked down on the pretense of a phony plague, strangling the job market in places like NYC where the restaurant industry, a major tax base that relies on mostly illegal aliens as its workforce is all but dead (see the lament by an ex-New Yorker in the Domestic section).

As Friedman himself had said, "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state." It's so obvious that everyone is ignoring it. Meanwhile, as Premier Stumbles McAqualung provides fodder for a future Chevy Chase to do a whole new Gerald Ford impersonation (which would never see the light of day on Agitprop TV), China, Iran, the EU and much of the rest of the world are certainly taking notice. This little item that hit this morning means whoever is pulling the strings at the Kalorama Klown Kompound is too:

It begins. Faster than anyone anticipated.

As Joe Biden falls 3 times in a light breeze boarding Air Force One, the latest sign of dementia he presents, and as his first-ever press conference looms next week, the public is being prepared for a transition of power to Kamala Harris. The gay conservative site Outspoken reports that it has received leaked emails revealing:

...the White House is shifting toward a communication strategy that seeks to elevate Vice President Kamala Harris in all official White House business.

The directive, the employee reports, came from a top White House communications team member and instructs all agencies to refer to the Biden administration as the "Biden-Harris Administration" in place of the "Biden Administration."

...As many have noted, waiting 2 years and a day from inauguration would have qualified Harris for 2 more terms as president. But more importantly, she has never exhibited popular appeal beyond statewide races in California, where whatever the Democrat party nominates gets elected statewide.

Meanwhile, you can be sure that Jill Biden, already showing signs of an Edith Wilson complex, wants to prop up Joe as long as possible, just like Woodrow Wilson's wife did more than a century ago.

While the Junta can, or at least thinks it can, control what goes on inside our borders (not that we have any anymore), the unpredictability of a demented near-octogenarian fronting the Oval Office is now a major liability. I for sure thought Biden would be gone by late June/early July. Who had April Fool's Day?

The US has about 350 million people living in it. If there are 20 million illegal aliens, that is about 5.7% of the total, leaving about 16.5 citizens per illegal alien. Migrant families are bigger, with closer to four kids:woman than the two:woman for natives.
Assuming an even male:female ratio, this means about 7 million are adults. This means that around 7 million citizens are unemployed or marginally employed because of the unfair competitive pressures brought by illegal aliens. This isn't really zero-sum, and many of those jobs done by illegals would not be done in their absence, so let's call it 6 million unemployed Americans due to illegal migration. This is 3.7% of the labor force (about 164m). That is structural unemployment of nearly 4%, and are people also likely on state assistance. Add in the next 3-4% of normal unemployment. That leaves the legitimate, employed labor force of about 151m supporting 200m others. Unsustainable.

As a native New Yorker, my observation is that even in the shittiest of times, the essence of the city's society and governmental systems functioned. Often poorly, sometimes spectacularly as under Giuliani. But as with the rest of the nation, the underpinnings of the civil society were still rock solid, despite political differences and other factors.

With today's Marxists, and since last year, Cuomo, DeBolshevik and their henchmen have destroyed the very foundations of the civil society. You cannot recover from that. The very underpinnings that keep people here have been stripped away - intentionally. NYC is gone for good. Even if we had Rudys elected as mayor and in the city council for the next 40 years, the electorate itself is braindead leftist.

It's over.

The problem is that everyone fails to understand incentives. With moderate taxation, weed will drive a lot of revenue. With high taxation, it will drive next to none. Weed has been illegal in most places for a long time. As a result, everyone who wants to use it already does, and buys it on the black market. Getting the convenience and quality control of the legitimate market is worth something, but only so much. Those people haven't magically forgotten who their dealers were.

CO has raised a lot on weed taxes. CA, less so in part because those taxes are way too damn high there and the black market is still very robust.

145 A week or two ago I was filling up the gas tank, and a guy was using the opposite pump. He was driving one of those huge racist pickups, with a fifth wheel flatbed. He was hauling two really nice greenhouses, and I said they looked good. He grinned and said people are buying a lot of them. Pot growing. Right now in OK you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a medical marijuana "dispensary". Arkansas is working on it. Taxes.

This is the principal reason I am so defensive about Trump. Lot of people want to bitch in the aftermath of The Steal about his personnel or any other weaknesses but he flat refused to cave on the things that really mattered.

I will admit there were some spending bills I wish he would have left on the table but he didn't *screw* us. Never gave the media the opportunity to laugh at us for trusting him. And believe me they were licking their chops.

The problem is that everyone fails to understand incentives. With moderate taxation, weed will drive a lot of revenue. With high taxation, it will drive next to none. Weed has been illegal in most places for a long time. As a result, everyone who wants to use it already does, and buys it on the black market. Getting the convenience and quality control of the legitimate market is worth something, but only so much. Those people haven't magically forgotten who their dealers were.

CO has raised a lot on weed taxes. CA, less so in part because those taxes are way too damn high there and the black market is still very robust.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at March 23, 2021 08:27 AM (Jsjd7)


Weed has been legal in Michigan for awhile. Having 4 children in their 20s-30s, even before it was legal, weed was available. Personally, I prefer the medables, only because I don't like coughing. But if Michigan starts collecting taxes on pot, all it will do is cause people to grow their own.

256 Costa Rica and Belize used to be the "go to" countries for Americans looking to get out. There might have been a couple of others, but I only heard of these two. One of the guys I used to work with went to Belize often, sometimes for a couple of months at a time. He owned a house there and I presume he might have had family there as well. He always said if TSHTF that's where he'd be heading.

If the local population of a place like Costa Rica or Belize (or another country with potential) is fleeing to the US it begs the question how much of that country's population can it afford to lose? 70 million pissed off Americans descending upon some unsuspecting Latin American country would be interesting.

DogLeaf had not only passed the CECVT test with flying colors, but has true built-in scarcity. When Dog is gone, there will be no more DogLeaves minted.

Whereas with something like Bitcoin, it's scarcity is only predicated on the word of Bitcoin's founder.

Costa Ricans are not fleeing here because their country's economy is actually stable and relatively productive. What irks locals most is that in the past 20 years as expats have moved there is that prices have gone up and so everyday staples cost the locals more because businesses jacked prices up knowing wealthy Americans and Europeans can easily afford things.

331 Biden is printing money and passing it along to his corporate and state buddies in batches of 2 trillion each.

Remember when I said it would be better to do a total reset by paying off the national debt, all student, mortgage and commercial loans (pumping money directly into the low and middle class)? Also, paying for it all by selling off assets controlled by the federal government over a 100 year period by a special quasi-governmental agency?

One way puts the money into the pockets of the elite, the other gives the middle class the ability to recover and build a stronger country with the capital they need.

If we continue to print money without backing it up with hard assets, the whole system will collapse.

Both ways put money into the pockets of the elites, because they own most of the assets. Assets never get redistributed because the state keeps helping stave off bankruptcy (which is how assets move when the owners fail).

Consider a game of Monopoly between two people. One will win. Once a critical mass of the assets is owned by one party, the other party goes bankrupt paying rents. Then they have a brain wave: print more money to keep the game moving. So they draft up new currency and transfer it directly to the bankrupt party. They keep playing. All of the new money ends up in the other player's bank, because he still owns all the assets.

It's simplistic, but it is a start as far as metaphors go. Without asset mobility, all of the money ends up in the same pockets, regardless of who it's given to.

346 Well we saw now why they want the illegals here. Not just for low wages but to keep the POC on the Democrat Plantation.

Blacks have shown that given the opportunity they can and will become employed and raise themselves out of poverty and when they do they turn to the Democrats and wonder why they keep voting for them.

So that had to be stopped toot sweet. By flooding the job market with lesser skilled and young workers the Black community gets short shrift and remains on welfare and in the public housing. Right where the party of slavery and Jim Crow and the KKK wants them.

I surely hope that more and more POC begin to see the plan here and the outright genocide going on perpetrated by the Democrat party.

30 million or more black babies aborted and no jobs means they have to rely on promises from the Governors and Mayors of their states and cities just to exist.

Yet with Trump in charge they were raised up only to be smacked down by the Socialist bigots.

A few years ago one of the Dem big wigs was talking about their "jobs" program/plan. Basically the government was going to hire everyone - no more unemployment.
A reporter asked, "well what if someone doesn't want any of the jobs you offer them" and the answer was..."well of course they would *have* to take one of them".

The wealthy have staggering debt. Individually not so much, but their wealth is based in their corporations and most megacorps have balance sheets that are horrifying. There are exceptions, but far more are like IBM than like Apple. If those megacorps had to go bankrupt - perish the thought - the rich who are bound to them would be a lot less rich when the equity price and remnants of the bonds collapsed in value.
