What is there to be afraid of?

What we are going to have to deal with is a rise in the standard of living for more and more people around the world competing for shared resources.

Imbalances do not last forever.

Wealth is not just about resources.  it's about production.  Wealth is not a zero sum game.  Wealth is created by work.  I see no shortage of resources at the present.

I would venture to guess that the left spends more seeking to subvert our Constitutional rights than the right spends to protect them.

Where does this money come from?  Some, of course, comes from voluntary contributions, but the left seems particularly fond of diverting compulsory dues of union members To causes those members may or may not favor, for one example. 

Ace and others of his ilk rail against the moneyed class as if they all came by their wealth by doing great evil things to him and his like.  I submit that people get wealthy by providing to Ace and the masses goods or services that are of value.  I agree the it is difficult to reconcile the huge piles of cash that some people accumulate with the value of products or services they produce, but it is not for me to decide that it is fair or unjust for a person who cannot write a coherent sentence or balance his checkbook should be paid $40 million to play a sport I will never watch, or that a man or woman should receive $20 million to appear in a movie that I will never see.  So why does the left so viciously attack the CEO who leads a corporation that manufactures a product they do not care to buy? 

I do wonder about the wisdom of a board of a corporation that pays a huge sum to a departing CEO who has all but destroyed the value of his company, but maybe -- just maybe-- the board members have knowledge or wisdom I do not possess.

More later, but I think I'll wait and see Brian's response to what I have written so far, and any comments from others.

Now that we have DOGE investigating, could it be a percentage of this money may have been coming from our own pockets USAID?  :shocked:
