Go home Bill, you’re drunk

Oh the irony. A man who has made a staggering fortune by selling technology that replaces peoples jobs (or at the very least allows businesses to do more work with less people) is calling for a tax on Robots that take peoples jobs: Just because a worker isn’t technically “alive” doesn’t mean it can make […]

This is why we need Libertarianism

There’s a strange phenomenon that I’ve observed, where believers in ‘big government’ seem to forget that the position of Prime Minister, or in the US the position of President, changes hands on a semi-regular basis. This forgetfulness leads people to advocate for increased powers for government when ‘their’ party is in, and completely forget that […]

The War on Sugar is a War against You.

As I’ve said before, public health nannies will never stop voluntarily. They will never look around and say “Y’know what?

What we’re seeing today is an unprecedented failure of the justice system […]

Hollywood cops a smackdown that deserves to go viral.

This sensational article written by a wheelchair bound 11 year old really brings out an otherwise unseen agenda in a current Hollywood movie (and much lauded book): Me Before You: Dear Hollywood, Why Do You Want Me Dead? This article is so impressive for so many reasons and there’s much I could say, but really, the most important […]

Possible election fraud… from the Australian Electoral Commission?

The election could be compromised if this is true. I wondered the same thing myself when I saw the AEC ad stating you HAVE to vote for 6 parties above the line… my immediate thought was ‘that’s going to force everyone to include one of the major parties in their preferences… that sounds like it was […]
