He said one fell in the city of Krasnogorsk and damaged an apartment building and nearby cars, with no casualties reported. Click for Full Text!
Historical Living . . . in the City?

When someone says, “traditional lifestyle,” we think of historical farms, countryside views, gardens, animals, sunrises, and sunsets. We rarely, if ever, think of apartments, city streets, and rental townhomes with historical living. Perhaps you’re a college student in a campus dorm room. Maybe your job keeps you in an urban studio apartment. Perhaps skyrocketing housing costs prevent you from owning the country cottage of your dreams. How can we aspire to live historically if we are constantly surrounded by modern environments? Click for Full Text!

“Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary said Tuesday that commercial real estate difficulties could lead to “a real run” on regional banks when interest on commercial real estate loans increases. S&P Global downgraded Associated Banc-Corp., Comerica Inc., KeyCorp, UMB Financial Corp. and Valley National Bancorp Wednesday, while also giving two other banks a negative rating as interest rates for loans increased due to the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates to combat inflation. Moody’s, another major credit agency, announced earlier this month that ten banks had their rating lowered, Reuters reported. Click for Full Text!

Indiana’s new abortion law, which critics claim is “a near-total abortion ban,” is now settled law in the Hoosier State. On Monday, the Indiana Supreme Court voted 4-1 to affirm its previous ruling that the law did not violate the state’s constitution. The law was originally passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Eric Holcomb in August of 2022. Enforcement of the law has been held up by court proceedings initiated by Planned Parenthood and the ACLU since then. Click for Full Text!
That SAFE Banking Act for legal cannabis companies stalls in the Senate, again

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has said that federal legislation addressing some of the banking challenges facing the legal cannabis industry is a priority this year. However, despite Sen. Schumer’s support, new concerns have emerged within his caucus that may endanger proposed solutions. The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act has been billed as the answer to banking woes for cannabis companies and a version of it has been introduced in every Congress since 2013. The U.S. House of Representatives first passed the bill in 2019 and has passed it seven times in total. Some of these votes have occurred on a standalone version of the bill, while others incorporated ...
Stories to Watch: Industrial Policy

Part of my personal mission is to try to stay out of daily online conflicts and instead contribute something to long-term understanding. There are plenty of ongoing stories to which I think I can contribute some perspective. One is the long-term fiscal position of the U.S. government. Another is the potential for the political divide in this country to escalate, with both sides taking to the streets. Yet another is how things will play out with what we are calling artificial intelligence (large language models). The story I want to introduce here is the potential for industrial policy to misallocate resources. The attempt by government to use powerful carrots and sticks to increase ...

Imagine fathers at the little league baseball fence. The first brags, “My son is batting 200!” You should be thinking, “That’s not very good.” The second intones, “Oh yea, well my son is batting 175!” “Hold it,” you’re thinking, “this is going backwards.” And your suspicions are confirmed when the third yells out, even louder, “Here comes my son, batting 150!” As all three dads high-five each other, you look at the name on the uniforms and it reads “Bidenomics.” You think - like Alice - you’ve fallen down a rabbit hole into Wonderland, but soon you realize, this is the economic world the progressives ...

University of Michigan Red Flag Confiscation Law Research Determines That More Research Is Needed
Post Date: 2023-08-20 02:15:43 by Charles_Byrd

The study, published online in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in June, examined four types of laws that restrict access to firearms from individuals, including those considered to be at risk of harming themselves or others. These are often known as red flag laws, and place restrictions on people versus weapons. They are opposed by many Republicans and gun rights groups. Michigan passed such a law in May, following 20 other states, in response to the Feb. 13 mass shooting at Michigan State University. Properly implemented firearm injury prevention policies can play a role in preventing gun-related injuries and death, but more research is needed, according ...
