Do you think greed is actually good for economy?

RobBlair comments on Aug 26, 2019:

Greed (Biblical) - the insatiable desire to have what rightfully belongs to others. vs (common) - An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, A capitalist economy (acquisition through mutually beneficial trades), excludes the top definition from the system (proper trades transfer property rights) and keeps greed to an individual's problem (ingratitude). As for the bottom definition, the excessive desire is punished by higher acquisition costs (I have to have the best computer = 5 times the cost, CEO must have a 6 figure salary = 90 hour work weeks with high cost for failure). Problems occur outside of the ideal. With cronyism, as an example, local telecoms can use government policies to exclude competition and extract a higher cost from a local market than what would be supported by an open market. This kind of systemic greed is bad.

He explores the challenges in current development and then takes time exploring some ramifications. Its a light read that I enjoyed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_the_Future Of course Isaac Asimov's Robot books are farfetched but get the mind going in positive directions. For drafting a building project, there used to be a room filled with people (and clouds of cigarette smoke) using pens and templates to draw on vellum sheets. With computers, only 10% of those people are needed and the drawing packages include more detail. When I drive through crowded cities I wonder what all these people do in their office buildings. But, without any thinking from me, they all have work and a purpose. I'm optimistic and excited about advances in technology and AI.

It would appear that secular Jews have renounced belief in the Messiah.

We are told that the Messiah may come at any time, if Jews deserve it by following the teachings of the Torah. However, there is a fixed point in time at which the Messiah will come even if Jews are not meritorious." https://momentmag.com/ask-the-rabbis-are-jews-still-expecting-a-messiah/

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Specifically addressing the anchor baby policy: - It is obvious that encouraging the abuse of our immigration system in this way promotes bad behavior - What does "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean to you? Senator Jacob Howard, who worked on the committee that drafted the 14th amendment -, "Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country." In "United States vs Wong Kim Ark" the court took it upon itself to legislate that lawful permanent residents (domociled residents) were included as "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." I have sympathy for this decision considering the circumstances. But, legal precedents from bad circumstances causes much foolishness. In any case, the decision was specific to lawful permanent residents.

I like the idea of making people skeptical. Why are you selling me this? What's the underlying message to the movie? Are you hiding important information from me? Further, when you discover that the person is trying to play you, you unplug. You dispose of that connection. Those people that were playing with you are bad actors and should be removed from impacting the choices you make in your life. What's missing for me is the need to stress that we are not victims. We do exercise choices. And, ultimately, the person we need to unplug from is our baser selves.

In order for this to be applied there has to be an expectation of privacy. None of us should have any expectation of privacy for information we willingly share on social media. If the FBI want to develop a bot to comb through social media, fine. Requiring social media companies to provide it is another thing.

The promised peace of Islam will only be had once everyone is turned to bones being bleached under the desert sun. Education regarding the teachings of this religion and men being men is all that stands against it.

The Proud Boys marched into Portland, had their speech and then left. Antifa agitated, targeted civilians with violence and caused their typical mayhem long after the PBs left. The Portland Mayor then lied about the violence. The PBs vow to repeat this process until Portland gets rid of Antifa. The complete loss of liberal thought on the left is truly disturbing. Going from the ACLU's defense of nazis in Skokie 1978 to being complicit with this authoritarian hate group (antifa might as well be the nazis in this case) is quite the fall.

Is he a troll? I don't know yet, but I do know that a good response (in my mind) is there if others care to read it. The correct response to bad speech is better speech. As for chaos, people can be blocked. It leaves a blind spot, but for some it is appropriate. When a group moderator is trolling and then uses their position to block comments, I think the correct response is to leave the group. If someone is engaging appropriately I don't care to pile on. But if I see bad behavior I think its good as a community to register discontent.

Demonize the Hebrews - No. Neither the Messianic Jews nor other people at my church with Jewish heritage get demonized. Further, in keeping with Judeo-Christian doctrine, it is recognized that everyone is created in God's image (imago dei) and worthy of respect. 2.

No, I have no doubt that their are numerous people on this site that can testify that they were not "trapped." 4.

Mat. 22:37... (part). Christians have been participants in massacres but not because they are following Christ. The idea that we are going to sift through the histories and properly categorize past actions and then sit in judgement over those who came before us is hubris.

The cops are about the only thing going for Philadelphia. They need to quit and escape that rotten city. Here's some lefty praising everything wrong with Soros's Philly DA. https://theintercept.com/2018/03/20/larry-krasner-philadelphia-da/

"Of course, a history lesson alone won’t persuade whites whose anti-immigration stance is purely the product of racism—after all, that’s what created our current, restrictive system in the first place. But for those whose opposition comes more from ignorance and misinformation—victims of effective propagandizing from far-right internet forums, cable news programs, and White House talking points..." and progressive rags Early documentation of immigrants - http://www.lynnheidelberg.org/beginnewlife.html First federal law on immigration (1790 - aka 2 years after government ratified) - "Once convinced of the applicant's good moral character,... The clerk of the court was to make a record of these proceedings, and "thereupon such person shall be considered as a citizen of the United States."" - AKA documented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1790 Further Federal restrictions on immigration - "That it shall be lawful for the President of the United States at any time during the continuance of this act, to order all such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States, or shall have reasonable grounds to suspect are concerned in any treasonable or secret machinations against the government thereof, to depart [be deported] out of the territory of the United States. . . . (June 25, 1798, p. 571) " etc... "Purely the product of racism" says people who have no sense of history, society or reality. From the US, the most non-racist country in the world.

Have the motives of mass shooters changed?

RobBlair comments on Aug 15, 2019:

"What binds them together and elevates their likelihood of killing in this particular fashion is a history of antisocial, sometimes violent conduct, not any particular belief set." - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2017/09/14/what-do-most-mass-shooters-have-in-common-hint-it-isnt-politics-video-games-or-religion/ FBI profile for current mass murderers - https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/pre-attack-behaviors-of-active-shooters-in-us-2000-2013.pdf/view Seminole mass shooter - https://bearingarms.com/tom-k/2019/03/31/history-of-mass-shootings-in-the-united-states/ Post WW2 - Jersey Rampage - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/story-first-mass-murder-us-history-180956927/ Post revolution - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/early-american-mass-murder-changes-common-perceptions-of-crime In summary, the "motives" for mass shooters seemed to be all over the place but the profile has been consistent through time - antisocial and violent.

Trump Administration Moves to Decertify Outspoken Immigration Judges’ Union | The New York Times

RobBlair comments on Aug 15, 2019:

"Immigration judges are Department of Justice employees who are tasked with deciding who can stay in the country legally and who should be deported." - https://ktiv.com/2019/08/12/justice-department-challenges-immigration-judges-union/ Here are the federal employees rejecting a policy proposal, collectively https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-judges/head-of-u-s-immigration-judges-union-denounces-trump-quota-plan-idUSKCN1M12LZ This can be fixed by removing the name "judge" from their title and replacing it with "officer." Judges are in the judicial branch and are separate from the Executive branch on purpose. They get last word. Immigration enforcement is given to the Executive branch and they get first word. If their first words are "you are not allowed in this country." then that is it. They have no standing as an immigrant or citizen. As for unionizing, I don't think any civil servant should be allowed to collectively bargain. https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2019/08/11/trump-administration-seeks-decertify-immigration-judges-union/

China Financial Collapse? [realclearpolitics.com]

RobBlair comments on Aug 13, 2019:

Just listened to Shapiro's hour 3 from yesterday. He had Mohamed Aly El-Erian from Allianz on to talk about the current market situation. He noted that China will continue to have some growing pains as it transitions into a first world economy. He also mentioned the negative inflation market in Europe as a troubling signal. Talked briefly on the trade war but didn't see that as the primary cause of this current weakness. From what's happening in Hong Kong, a last desperate gasp for freedom, I don't necessarily see the collapse of the Chinese economy as a bad thing.

If Jesus was Jewish and taught the TaNaKh , why are we not Jewish?

RobBlair comments on Aug 13, 2019:

"So why not be Jewish?" Original contract - Deuteronomy 28:1, 2, 15 (ESV) “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God... “But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you. New contract coming - Jeremiah 31:31-33 (partial) NIV “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah... “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people." New contract is elevated above national (and other) distinctions - Galatians 3:26-9 NIV So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. "So why not be followers of the law?" If God is good and he loves us, why would we not want to follow His instructions? At the same time, why stand condemned under the original contract when we can go direct? Another way to look at it - We can have a business relationship with God, or we can have a father-child relationship with Him. Psalm 51:16, 7 (NIV) You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. 1 Chronicles 22:10 He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.

AG Barr on Epstein--Do you trust him?

RobBlair comments on Aug 13, 2019:

Yes and no. I trust that he wants to do a proper investigation and hold people accountable. At the same time, he works for the government and its close to impossible to hold government employees accountable unless they are wearing a military uniform or up for reelection (good reason to limit their scope to as small as possible).
