Biden likely to drive up gas prices soon
Daily Caller: Exxon Mobil’s CEO, Darren Woods, warned that the Biden administration’s plan to cut back on fuel exports could reduce global supplies and hike gas prices, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. Woods told the Department of Energy (DOE) in a letter that oil and gas producers should avoid curbing exports and stockpiling fuel, according to the WSJ which cited a letter sent by Exxon. Exxon claimed that cutting exports would not help the Northeast’s fuel shortages because it would force Gulf Coast refineries to slow their operations, which would reduce fuel supplies a... read more

University. Academic freedom has a long history of protecting unorthodox thinkers and contributing to the search for knowledge and truth.

Paul Krugman may be right
When I was young, Paul Krugman was one of my favorite economists, and I would try to read everything he wrote (which was a lot!). At some point, however, roughly coinciding with his becoming a regular *New York Times* columnist, he switched from writing as an economist to writing more as a political pundit. I then lost interest. His political commentary struck me as repetitive and slightly unhinged: "Conservatives are stupid, conservatives are evil, yada, yada, yada." Yet his column in yesterday's paper caught my eye. It's titled "Is the Fed braking too hard?" I have been ponderin... read more

IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL YOUR LEAD SHRINKS TO 2 POINTS
I'm worried about the Pennsylvania Senate race. For most of August, John Fetterman had a double-digit lead over Mehmet Oz, according to FiveThirtyEight, but now that lead has shrunk to 6.5 -- and in five of the last six polls Fetterman's lead has been four points or less. In two of the polls, from Emerson and Phillips Academy, Fetterman's lead was just two points. One reason this is happening, as Chris Hayes noted last night, is that Fox News is "monomaniacally obsessed" with the Fetterman-Oz race. They have ramped up the attacks on Fetterman to an almost ludicrous degree. From La... read more

The flight from Russia
NY Times: Panic, Bribes and Ditched Cars: Portraits of Flight From Russia A mountain pass into Georgia has become a choke point for fleeing Russians, many of them men who faced being drafted and sent to fight in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Putin is wrongly describing the Ukraine war as an existential fight with western elites. It is pretty clear that those trying to escape his mobilization attempts do not see Putin's war in Ukraine in the same light. They likely see it as a wholly unnecessary war of aggression by Putin.

"Does A 1904 Geopolitical Theory Explain The War In Ukraine?"
*"Does A 1904 Geopolitical Theory Explain The War In Ukraine?"* by John Wilder "When I look at the war in Ukraine and other world events, I see evidence of Sir Halford John Mackinder. It would have been cool if he was the frontman for a 1910s version of Judas Priest, but no. Mackinder was a guy who thought long and hard about mountains, deserts, oceans, steppes, and wars. You could tell Mackinder was going to be good at geography, what with that latitude. The result of all this pondering was what he called the Heartland Theory, which was the founding moment for geopolitics. What’s ... read more

UK Crony Capitalism: Trickle down economics
The UK government’s economic policies under new PM Liz Truss have caused a stir among, not only leftists, but also among mainstream economists.

The extra income flowing to them will then be available to boost investment and spending that can deliver economic growth. read more

Mackinder called it “the Heartland” for a reason… Russia as a landmass alone presents itself as extremely rich in resources, and most literally pumps them into Western European countries.
