It's High Time We Fix The Gender Gap in Pensions
Margaret Franklin, president and CEO of the CFA Institute wrote an op-ed for CNBC back in November on why the gender gap in pensions is real and needs to be fixed: Women get paid less than men. In fact, it’s been well documented that, worldwide, women make only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. Less well-known, and partially a result of that very pay gap, is the pension gulf between men and women. *The gender gap in pensions is a real issue and it needs to be fixed. This year, “The Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index Report” explored the gender pension gap that exist... read more

Biden blatantly lies about gas pricesMatt Margolis: ... Biden had previously resisted calls to ban Russian oil because, thanks to Joe Biden, our domestic oil production has been hampered, and 10% of oil imports come from Russia. A disruption of those imports will inevitably cause gas prices to skyrocket. Of course, this is why Biden is trying to create the narrative that Putin is to blame for gas prices being so high. “Putin’s war is already hurting American families at the gas pump. Since Putin began his military buildup on Ukrainian borders — just since then — the price of gas at pumps in America went up 75 cent... read more

Bill Bonner, "The 'R' Word"
*"The 'R' Word"* by Bill Bonner *San Martin, Argentina -* “Nowhere else does an economy work like this.”Argentines have been living with inflation for a long time. It was 2,000% in 1990.

Here’s Business Insider: "US stocks fell on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 800 points and the Nasdaq ending lower by over 3% as investors weighed the impact of surging oil prices and eyed possible new sanctions on Russia's energy sector." The geopolitical turmoil has sent ... read more

So, what am I doing to prepare for what's coming?I've written a lot in recent weeks about how the emergency that a lot of preppers talk about is no longer remote - it's already here, staring us in the face. Food and other commodities are in short supply and skyrocketing in price, and there doesn't look to be any short-term solution to the problem. A number of readers have asked, in so many words: "It's all very well to tell *us* to prepare, but what are *you* doing about it? What additional steps are *you* taking?" That's a fair question, and it deserves an answer. As far as food supplies go, Miss D. and I have managed to... read more

The Increasingly Dangerous Variants of the “Most-Favored-Nation” Theory of Religious LibertyThe First Amendment prohibits discrimination against religion. In a short time, mostly in cases challenging efforts to contain the Covid pandemic, the Supreme Court has transformed this familiar rule into new, more exacting doctrines that might exempt religious people from almost any law. This article taxonomizes these doctrinal variants, showing that they are dangerous, indefensible mutations of the most-favored-nation (MFN) theory of religious discrimination. These variants go well beyond the most attractive rationale for MFN. Their implications are so anarchic that the Cou... read more
