There's some legitimacy to the substitution approach, because people do e.g. switch from hamburger to chicken when the former gets more expensive (steak, if it was substituted by hamburger, is fraud), and at least this is a special c

The GOP thing is much, much later. I don't think it's the structural explanation. Oh, agreed, but I think it's a very useful data point in studying this. And you have a point about the declaration of war, but, in our small

The strengthening of the Presidency ( and presumably, the weakening of the Legislature ) is due to one thing - nuclear weapons. The election cycle and advertising hasn't helped. And here I thought it was, at least as of late, the GOP

I suppose I should, but in that case I think it's something of a redefinition of the word and less than useful. Especially since you have to, for example, factor in strength of party discipline methods. For example, expect a great di

The 2nd sentence was just a rhetorical point designed to nudge people into having some doubt about the statistic. I myself came to that conclusion long before appreciating its effect on the government budget, from watching the CPI and what

And you believe the government's inflation statistics? When so much of their spending is automatically tied to them?

I'm going to have to look at that in more detail, but I already see some howlers, like implicitly claiming there was a low degree of political polarization in the early FDR years. Sure, the Congress was relatively less polarized, but

Errr, what about "semi-presidential" systems like France's Fifth Republic? Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-presidential_system the difference is to whom the cabinet is responsible, i.e. who can f

Most of the stuff is overblown. And you have no sympathy for those for whom it's not overblown? "If it saves just one career...." It's NYC's gun laws that are particularly insane, and ought to go down to a McDon

You don't think a real estate developer, who's the son of one, isn't exquisitely aware of the importance of interest rates? He did, after all, start during the period when they were a more sane ~5%, and experienced the run

You can't see a problem with the release of such politically charged info? That some people, even if they follow their employer's rules about not possessing on the job, would lose their jobs if that information was released? Or

I'm sure that's true in any state with a CCW licensing regime, I know it is in Missouri, which has a system cutely named MULES. But those are set up to deter fishing expeditions, for they contain a lot of sensitive information,

Possession of a license in the past for a license is relevant to future licensing That's not the case to my knowledge, as a matter of law or procedure, excluding special cases like someone being a bit late to renew and getting grandf

Carrying a fatal weapon and being trained that people within 25-30 feet are in your 'danger zone' has had a very poor outcome. But the "within 25-30 feet" at least has it being the truth in its favor. And none of this

I would think that a thief would be less interested to steal from someone who is, by virtue of owning a gun, equipped to defend his or her property with lethal force. What you're missing is that in the US, criminals in almost all the

It definitely wasn't solved by the well publicized abuses of Maryland law enforcement, using their records to "check out" owners of the sort of rifle used. Seeing as the two snipers were from out of state and had bought the

I'm not sure what you mean, especially since these licenses do expire if not renewed, whereas a 4473 records an event that doesn't stop being true. However, it's still the case that the legislature sure thought it had made

If by "mostly focuses mostly on Bodyguard" you mean spills the most ink on, agreed, but as I noted and he explicitly points out, it was the greatest strategic deception in history. Not sure about his not giving enough attention

Yep, this is by some margin the hackiest thing I've ever done in my career. If I'd been doing it on Sun hardware, though, I would have been able to include power cycling hardware for the accelerator box.
