‘Opposition politicians in Kosovo have once again used tear gas to disrupt proceedings in parliament, in attempts to pressure the government into abandoning a deal signed in August which gives the Serb minority greater autonomy. The session in parliament, which had been delayed for just under an hour, was suspended on Friday after a tear […]

I recently wrote about the Fading Away of the manual transmission (see here). As it turns out, I was wrong. Manuals will not fade away. They will be regulated out of existence. Here’s how – and why. Federal bureaucrats intend to mandate automated braking in all new cars – if the car companies don’t install these systems in every car they sell on their own initiative. These systems – which use radar proximity sensors to detect the presence of an object in the car’s path and apply the brakes automatically  if the driver doesn’t – are already in about a third of … Continue reading →

For a long time, I’ve advocated that the world’s governments should default on their debt. I recognize that this is an outrageous-sounding proposal. However, the debts accumulated by the governments of the U.S., Japan, Europe and dozens of other countries constitute a gigantic mortgage on the next two or three generations, as yet unborn. Savings are proof that a person, or a country, has been living below their means. Debt, on the other hand, is evidence that the world has been living above its means. And the amount of government debt and liabilities in the world is in the hundreds … Continue reading →

These days it seems that everything in our lives revolves around taxes. Taxation has always caused problems.

For example, those who believe in the pink … Continue reading →

Aeroflot, founded on this day in 1923, is one of the world’s safest airlines. The website AirlineRatings.com – which judges the vulnerability of carriers according to a number of criteria – gives it the maximum seven stars, placing it alongside the likes of Qantas and BA (and ahead of Ryanair) in its latest ratings. The Russian airline has been involved in just one fatal accident in the past 20 years. But it wasn’t always thus. Aeroflot’s safety record was once the stuff of nervous fliers’ nightmares – and the numbers are truly staggering. During 1973 alone, it was involved in … Continue reading →

Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet at the last GOP presidential debate with his declaration that the Bush administration lied us into war, and the reverberations are still roiling the political waters on both the right and the left. If his candidacy does nothing else, it will have performed a great service to the nation by re-litigating this vitally important issue and drawing attention to the outrageous lack of accountability by the elites who cheered as we turned the Middle East into a cauldron of death and destruction. Trump has ripped the bandage off the gaping and still suppurating wound … Continue reading →
