Feds Spend $30,982 Studying Parents Who Let Their Teenagers Drink Soda

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:40 pm
Washington knows how to waste money.  Some previous “studies” using your money have been looking at the sex lives of panda’s in China, why fat girls can’t get dates and my favorite, why San Fran prostitutes use drugs!  Add to this a study of parents that allow their children to drink soda?  How about a […]

Confused Guv Brown: “Only $14 Billion” (including interest) for Park and Water Bonds in 2018

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:33 pm
California has a $1.5 trillion debt.  CalPERS has an unfunded liability of $1.4 trillion—and CalSTRS is in deep trouble—both pension plans need to double the mandatory contributions in a five year period.  This means cutting basic services and classroom efforts.  Now the Guv is looking at yet another Park and Water bond—saying it could combined […]

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:30 pm
Thanks to Sacramento tax increases, approved by Chad Mayes and six other Assembly Republicans, more government regulations that raise the cost of housing, more union control of all government programs dealing with construction, the poor in California and Los Angeles are getting poorer.  Worse, thanks to L.A.

Cities and School Districts are facing a doubling of the mandatory contributions to CalSTRS and CalPERS over the next five years.  That means less money available for government employees.  The Simi Valley City Council, in response to the 19% increase in contributions this year—and facing an end to the Reserve Fund—over the past few years […]

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:24 pm
Government loves to create winners and losers.  The Chad Mayes led Assembly Republicans, the seven of them, voted to force some companies to buy “credits” to stay in business—this is a tax increase.  Then they also said they prefer government transportation by making it more expensive to drive a car—Mayes and friends voted to raise […]

UC Davis Prof: Conference Speakers To be Determined by Gender—NOT Quality

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:21 pm
Obviously Professor Jonathan Eisen is not a scientist—unless you can say he comes from the Al Gore School of Science.  Eisen believes that conferences should have inequality by gender.  Why not by nationality, political philosophy or by sexual orientation.  Guess he was never taught that the goal of a conference to provide the best possible […]

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:18 pm
This story is to remind us of the changing market place for jobs.  Amazon is killing off brick and mortar, the mainstream media is committing suicide and thanks to technology lots of grocery store, Target and even restaurant jobs are going away.  Between kiosks at fast food places, self-checking lines and now an app for […]

Thousands LEAVE SEIU—When Given The Freedom to Do So

By Stephen Frank on Aug 14, 2017 08:15 pm
People should be able to join a union—that is their right of free association.  Folks also have the right NOT to associate or join a union.  In 22 States, government forces workers to pay bribes to unions if they want to work.  Here is another example of how freedom works. “More than 20,000 union members […]
