Kamala Harris admits that grocery prices are higher. She just doesn’t tell you the truth about how they went up and how to fix it.
But true to her family tradition of socialism, she has an answer to the problem she helped create — price controls.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Why shouldn’t the government keep prices form getting out of control?
There’s no shortage of jokes about farmers and ranchers asking for a discount or inquiring if a free hat can be included with a purchase. My grandfather once told me, “It never hurts to ask — the worst they can tell you is ‘No’.”
Whether frugal out of necessity or mere habit, the thrift of farmers and ranchers provides plenty of innovation for inexpensive materials. The main corral at the ranch was built with used pipe and cable from a nearby oilfield. Drilling pipe and pump rods were the raw materials that made up most of the gates as well.
The drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals made history in June by launching the first-ever generic version of a GLP-1 diabetes drug. This revolutionary class of medications, which are also growing increasingly popular as treatments for obesity, has proven astoundingly effective in helping diabetes patients manage their condition.
The launch is good for millions of Americans living with type 2 diabetes. It's also a textbook case of how the life sciences industry is supposed to work. Leaps in innovation soon lead to mass-scale availability.
In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale saw the crowds being drawn by Republican President Ronald Reagan and said, “When I see the energy in these crowds, the enthusiasm and the anger — the Reagan crowd is getting pretty cocky. They’d better watch out. The public is not going to be taken for granted.”
Walter Mondale, the former vice president for failed president Jimmy Carter, tried to make his case against Reagan who had turned the bad Carter/Mondale economy around, and the nation was feeling hopeful again.
Left-wing politicians and their legacy lapdog media were worried sick about Elon Musk airing Donald Trump’s views on X Spaces Monday night.
Indeed, a European Union commissioner, of all people, warned Musk not to do it; a Washington Post reporter basically pleaded with the White House to prevent it; and the Kamala Harris campaign issued a sky-is-falling missive cackling that Musk “was attempting to seize ‘control’ of ‘our democracy’ by hosting Trump,” as the New York Post put it.
