Capitalism’s Biggest Threat Isn’t Inequality—It’s Artificial Entrepreneurs https://mises.org/power-market/capitalisms-biggest-threat-isnt-inequality-its-artificial-entrepreneurs TLDR; > If we want to defend capitalism, we must first clean house. That means rejecting, not only socialist redistribution, but also state-created winners who corrupt the market and erode public trust. Let’s stop defending “capitalism” in the abstract—and start defending the real thing: a competitive market order where success flows from freedom, not favors. originally posted at

Trump ready to bail out farmers amid trade war squeeze, Rollins says https://www.axios.com/2025/04/27/farm-tariffs-bailout-trump-china I live in farming country and I can tell you Trump is VERY popular but there's a lot of concern about the trade war. This is how he buys them off. Relatively free trade has been good for many farmers and they are not pumped about Trump's moves but most I have talked to believe and trust him. If you don't get that Trump has been able to connect with people you haven't been around enough Trump supporters. There's a deep trust in many that he is fighting for them. originally posted at

Former Edison exec Calderon, now a lawmaker, seeks to cut rooftop solar credits
Los Angeles Times
Former Edison executive Calderon, now a lawmaker, seeks to cut rooftop solar credits
Nearly 2 million California rooftop solar owners would see their energy credits slashed under legislation by Assemblywoman Calderon.
 The state of California is governed by criminals. > AB 942 would affect solar credits for people who installed the panels before April 2023 — limiting their current benefits to 10 years, half of the 20 years they were promised. > The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lisa Calderon, is a former executive at the parent company of Southern California Edison, which has long complained about the financial credits to households that generate more solar energy than they can use. TLDR, this would alter contacts solar producers (home owners) made with energy companies (SoCal Edison / PG&E) that determine how much the energy companies pay solar producers for their power sent back to the grid. The writer uses the term "credits" because this is what this shill politician uses. What they mean is the price at which the power company agrees to buy power home owners send back to the grid. This isn't a "government program". It is an agreement between the power company and its customers. The state forces a monopoly of power providers on the population. The state board directs many of the activities of these power companies. They do price controls and many more crazy things. Its no wonder they want to do this kind of stuff. The way California has fiddled with the free market for "green" energy is criminal. What the state really needs is more nuclear power plants. The state has to import a huge portion of its power which drives up the cost of energy. Its gonna happen. New plants will come on line. Just a matter of time. The question is how many more years will people tolerate the ridiculous status quo. Far to few even realize why their power bills are so high. Its not complicated. But few people actually explain it. ## Why Does This Matter? 1. This is the state being used to manipulate an agreement between companies and customers 2. This will reduce the money agreed to be paid to solar owners for power they generate. 3. This reduces the value of solar systems that people were told they should install. When a home owner wants to sell their home the system is a huge part of the value of the home and this action would drastically affect the life time value of the system. originally posted at
