A modest proposal to save The Boeing Company

Anyone who follows the news at all will know that Boeing, a titan of aerospace and defense technology, has had a very difficult time the past few years. The difficulties with the 787 program, with its heavy outsourcing of production and assembly, brought the company a considerable amount of unwanted attention, as deadlines slipped and …

A thought on time-of-use electricity pricing.

With the advent of smart electricity metering (where the government essentially controls your power use from a central location), more localities are starting to charge more for electricity use at peak hours, normally 4:00-9:00PM, when people get home from work. Looking at the big picture, this might be a disincentive for work. You work, and …

Installment Three in the case of Dustin Kittle vs Farm Credit Scandal: Water

Below, direct from X/Twitter, is the third installment of Dustin's story of the conflict between the US Farm Credit system and America's family farmers.

Reporting from the DemocRat-run Hell-hole that is the Seattle Area

It's been a long time since I brought everyone up to date on what is happening here in the Seattle area. It's an assortment of tales of homelessness, crime, illegal aliens, burning buildings, and vandalism. For starters, there is a story about a street refugee camp in Kent, south of Seattle. A large group of …

Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Week: On the Founding Fathers and Government

This quote is from 2009, when Barack Hussein Obama the Destroyer had only been in office for six months. The Founding Fathers were highly suspicious of government because they understood human nature.  And they understood the human quest for power.  They were fleeing what they thought were the worst aspects of the human quest for …

About what happened on Maui in Hawaii

I'm sure everyone has heard about the wildfires on Maui, which totally destroyed the old town of Lahaina, and killed many people (the death toll keeps rising).  But I'm betting that not so many have heard what really happened.  The mainstream media, which I am coming to believe is a greater withholder of news that …

Why many teenage girls today do not want to be girls: “transgender” edition

A Ricochet friend did a post about "saving our children" from the malign "transgender movement".  She mentioned the fact that today, many teenage girls don't like being girls, and maybe that sentiment could explain the popularity of the "transgender" movement. [scare-quotes used to indicate the falsity of transgenderism]  I took it a step further, and …

Seattle used to be committing slow suicide. The word “slow” no longer applies. Decline accelerates.

Sometimes I wonder how Seattle manages.  Their Radical Leftist government, elected by the people of Seattle, continues to engage in activities that are making the city unlivable.  Let's start with Cal Anderson Park, on Capitol Hill.  During the summer, riots over the death of a black man in Minneapolis led to the takeover and destruction …
