The story about United dragging a passenger off an overbooked plane highlights how crazy the current system is. I would not go so far as to say that airlines should never overbook, but it seems that when they overbook, they should fully bear the consequences. They should be required to keep raising the offered compensation until they get volunteers to give up their seats. If $800 does not work, th

This paper by Bruce Sacerdote is worth noting: Despite the large increase in U.S. income inequality, consumption for families at the 25th and 50th percentiles of income has grown steadily over the time period 1960-2015. The number of cars per household with below median income has doubled since 1980 and the number of bedrooms per household has grown 10 percent despite decreases in household size.

* This is my article in BusinessWorld last March 29, 2017. A piece that I wrote for this space, “Seven myths in the mining debate” (March 15), has attracted attention from many readers, expressing either support or disagreement. One even sent an angry comment via e-mail. So I will add additional myths in the continuing debate on the issue. To review, here are the seven myths discussed in the earl
Inequality 32, Free land distribution, free housing Kadamay
Government and Taxes / by Nonoy Oplas / 1d
Free land, free housing, free education, free healthcare, free cash transfer, and so on. And soon free iPad, free tricycle or free car for the poor. If this is done in the Philippines or in any other country, then many people will stop working.Or they may work 6 days a week but also drink and party 6 nights a week and have zero savings. 100% formula to be poor. Then they will be entitled to those
Mining 49, Ma'am Monsod on poverty in mining areas

Recycling an old article I wrote in September 2013, I re-read this BWorld article by my former undergrad thesis adviser in UPSE in the 80s, Ma'am Winnie Monsod. She wrote, “… the incidence of poverty in the mining sector is much higher than the Philippine average (roughly twice, if memory serves). … A 2004 paper by Scott Pegg of the University of Indianapolis, entitled “Mining and Poverty Reducti

BWorld 121, The PH tax reform bill and tax policies in East Asia
Government and Taxes / by Nonoy Oplas / 4d
* This is my article in BusinessWorld on March 24, 2017. The current tax reform proposal of the Duterte administration promises to improve the Philippines’ competitiveness mainly by reducing income tax rates and cutting exemptions in value-added tax (VAT) and other fiscal incentives. The proposal has somehow created three myths in taxation. 1. REDUCING THE INCOME TAX RATE CAN LEAD TO REVENUE LOSS

An Idea Can Reshape The World
Northern Reflections / by Owen Gray / 17h
Our devotion to infinite growth has put the future of the planet in peril. And, out leaders -- incapable of breaking away from that paradigm -- are dumbfounded. George Monbiot writes : The most they tend to offer is more economic growth: the fairy dust supposed to make all the bad stuff disappear. Never mind that it drives ecological destruction; that it has failed to relieve structural unemploym

Donald Trump is receiving a lot of support for his decision to unleash Cruise missiles on Syria. Even Hillary Clinton agreed with his decision. However, Jonathan Freeland writes that, while the missiles sent a signal, no one should forget who sent the message: On Syria, Donald Trump has performed a U-turn so screeching, so dizzying, you can smell the burned rubber from here. Just 72 hours before

Michael Gerson puts Donald Trump's attack on Syria in context. It's not just that Trump is uninformed, he writes . It's that he's unformed: Like on health care, he seems to be encountering these issues for the very first time. It is unlikely that he played through the scenarios of humanitarian intervention and regime change during campaign policy briefings with national security experts. Trump’s

The ascension of Justin Trudeau was greeted with a great deal of hope. But that hope is fading fast. Michael Harris writes : The politician who promised a bright, new day in Canadian politics, has already disappointed First Nations, environmentalists, veterans, electoral reformers, and those expecting swift action on repealing the odious police-state legislation from the Harper era, Bill C-51.

Donald Trump desperately needs a "win." His attack on a Syrian airfield was supposed to be one -- but the airfield was operating on the next day. On Friday, his nominee for the Supreme Court was confirmed -- but he had to break the rules to get his way. The man who helped him break the rules was Senate Majority Leader Mitchell McConnell -- who four years earlier said this about what happened on F

Another Update On Syrian Situation: US Blows Up Illegal Chemical Weapons Facility Killing Hundreds And The Liars In The Media Do Not Report It?
Northerntruthseeker / 5h
I am so sickened by what is going on in Syria... With the illegal US cruise missile attack on the Shayrat air base last Thursday, all of a sudden the US led and controlled fraud called "ISIS" has been conducting offensive operations right across Syrian territory, and the Jew spew media misses this fact completely! Instead the liars in the Jew spew media continue to push the lie that Assad "gassed"
