As promised, the follow-up to last week’s Joe Manchin cartoon. Catering to these two is not only doom for next year’s midterms, but the to everyone who’s been waiting for any kind of relief from Congress.

A Warning from the Candy Cops

This entry was posted in comics and tagged drugs Halloween marijuana police police brutality on October 8, 2021 by Brian McFadden

Every October, the cops trot out a PR campaign about the dangers of marijuana edibles to trick-or-treaters, and the local news dutifully covers it.

No one is giving kids their edibles. Getting hit by a car is a far more likely danger to kids on Halloween and every day.

Mint the NFTs

This entry was posted in comics and tagged debt debt ceiling economics Janet Yellen Treasury Department on October 1, 2021 by Brian McFadden

Things are playing out exactly as they did in 2009 during the Obama years with deficits and debt suddenly the hostage du jour for Republicans (and defacto ones like Manchin and Sinema) who want things to be bad for the midterm elections.

Economists (the only social scientists who get rewarded for being wrong) poo-poo printing more money by invoking the “inflation” boogey man, but nobody has any money. The meager stimulus some people got because of the pandemic ran out months ago, and I’ve yet to see anything beyond the runaway housing/healthcare/education inflation we’ve been suffering through for the last 40 years.
