You’ve probably heard that a New York state legislator has introduced a bill to allow Authoritah to search your online history before you can be “allowed” to buy a gun. You may not have realized how dangerously deep that rabbit hole goes. And have you heard that Kevin Parker, the pol who wants to inflict this, is himself a violent criminal, as well as a major financial deadbeat?
From Shel in comments: evacuation advice from a survival maven, Kevin Reeve.
With GM closing factories and making major layoffs a mere 10 years after it’s too-big-to-fail bailout, Kevin D. Williamson reams bailouts, crony capitalism, and the mad practice of propping up failing business models.
Even in prosperous Silicon Valley wages have dropped for nine out of 10 workers.
Sex-change logic: If insurance companies cover the cost of cosmetic surgery for men who want to become women, then aren’t they practicing sexual discrimination by not covering most plastic surgery for biological females?
employees in the middle of Silicon Valley’s income ladder have been hit hardest as their inflation-adjusted wages declined
They aren’t earning less; their cost of living is rising. It’s California, Duh.
Surprisingly, the UC Santa Cruz study suggests that employment in low wage industries is growing. The share of worker in jobs considered low-wage in 1997 grew 25 percent over the next 20 years, while the percent working in middle- and high-wage jobs declined.
Low-wage jobs are still there because fast-food places, laundries, discount stores, etc., are still there. Businesses with middle/high wage jobs are relocating to Texas. Surprise?
Kevin Reeve is awesome. I’ve had the privilege of taking classes from him.

Followed the “rabbit hole” link (the online history that NY may require to certify that you’re a good enough boy or girl to buy a gun). Read this:
Or My Little Pony and brony sites; that might be worse.
And I had to wonder: what in the world is a “brony site/” Thought about looking it up. Then stopped and said to myself, “there’s a really good chance that you don’t want to know.”
As I continue to age, I think I’ll be choosing not to learn some things.

Trust me, James; “brony” is a good first thing not to know.

Anybody doing genomes on the cow?
