matter. Think about it for half a second–YOU would not set up a business in, say, the middle of a busy highway. Why? Because your customers AND employees would be hit all the time. I mean, would it make a lick of sense to do so?

No wonder Walmart is leaving!

How about you outfit (and stock) a ski shop in the middle of a remote part of gang-controlled Mexico. Does that make any sense at all?

Or how about you set up a Walmart in downtown Chicago or San Fransisco? And much of your inventory is not sold, but stolen. Folks track in people poop from the sidewalks and streets on their shoes all the time–and YOU have to pay someone to clean it up. Drug pushers take over the bathrooms. Street whores are turning tricks in front of the registers. Shoplifting is both regular and rampant. Oh, and the land you are on and the building you have costs millions! And you pay for that location every single month. Just what would YOU do, huh?

How do any of these things make business sense?

Well, they don’t. So Walmart is leaving. Target is also gone. DUH!

Eliminate it.

bottom line? Bottom line: There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

And, (ahem!) anyone who tells you differently is selling you something, princess!

know how “Biden’s” utterly catastrophic spending has gone under the radar as much as it has.

Sure, there has been criticism of his horrible fiscal and monetary policies (the two are related, but different) that have led to rampant inflation. But it is the explosive-diarrhea (fiscal) government spending has been the main driver of inflation. The inflation is merely the tsunami, but “Biden’s” fiscal and monetary policies are the earthquake that caused it.

Trump was intuitively good at some of this, which is not surprising given his background. But I don’t know that he fully grasped (intellectually) all the issues. He just did what made sense, and of course it was good.

I mean, under Trump, real income for the poorest among us jumped. “Biden” has been a freakin’ nightmare for these same people. Team Biden (Joe himself has very little to do with such things–they may as well be speaking Swahili for all he understands) has made us ALL poorer. Well, except the very top earners. THAT’s how Leftism works!

problems of a Lefty government, is that encourages the misallocation of funds by businesses.

For example: Let’s say that a business has $X to spend. They can spend it on R&D, and maybe you (the public) will get a cool new product that you want.

BUT, if a government tries to control markets and production (like Lefty governments always do), it makes far more business sense to just use that same money to hire lobbyists to help make sure that the products the business already has are favored and that their competitors are hammered! So that $X goes to lobbying rather than to R&D!

Result: Bigger government as compared to the private economy.

So in this way, commerce (or the available output) shrinks and government grows!

The answer? Decreased government intervention.
