Why Is Crime and Poverty a Family Affair?
Commentary Although crime and poverty rates are two issues that are widely discussed within the American political discourse, the needle hasn’t been moved in minimizing either. Each side of the political duopoly continues to pontificate its perspective on strategies to alleviate poverty and crime, yet both issues have continued to persist and sometimes even worsen….

Are you familiar with escape rooms? The only way you can escape is to solve a complicated problem. But what happens if you fail to escape the room on time? Having lost, you are then “imprisoned” in the room. OK, not literally. However, you will not be able to leave the room until a staff…

The Swamp vs. America: Biden Policies Are Making America Poorer
Commentary I’ve been struck by the opinion divide on the state of the economy between people with real jobs in America and the elite opinions in Washington. Gallup and other primary and reputable pollsters find that the public is very worried. About 2 in 10 respondents rate the U.S. economy as good or great. That…
Hong Kong’s Poverty Rate at Record High
Poverty and unemployment in Hong Kong have reached a record high, and the national minimum wage has been frozen for the past three years. One political commentator blames the Chinese Communist Party for the current situation. Contrary to many countries that have raised the minimum wage to counter the negative impact of COVID-19, Hong Kong’s…
On Economics, the White House Is Gaslighting
The latest polls show that 83 percent of the public believes that the economy is performing poorly or not so good. The top problem is of course inflation running at 8.4 percent officially but real-time data clocks it closer to 12 percent, and transportation at 22.4 percent.
