China's Economy is in Trouble
China's Economy is in Trouble
- Veronique de Rugy: China’s Economy Is Struggling. Still Want to Emulate it?
- China’s economy is struggling post-COVID-19. Growth is slower than expected, demographic trends are negative, youth unemployment is high, overbuilding has created a housing crisis and government indebtedness is ballooning. These are only a few of the symptoms ailing the country, and things could get worse.
Did any of the Americans who not long ago wanted to implement some of China’s top-down economic policies see this coming? Of course not.
We’ve seen these pessimists make similar mistakes before.

New Study Suggests Global Warming Could be Mostly an Urban Problem
New Study Suggests Global Warming Could be Mostly an Urban Problem - From CERES-Science
- A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate, by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases.
- The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century.
While urban areas only account for less than 4% of the global land surface, many of the weather stations used for calculating global temperatures are located in urban areas...
However, this new study suggests that urban warming might account for up to 40% of the warming since 1850.

“A level of basic interest [from the police] would be nice.”
Ultimately, police exist not to protect the public from criminals, but to protect criminals from the public.
Meanwhile, this article blames budget cuts for inadequate policing, but I note that British police have time to go after people for Facebook posts, and after children who make politically incorrect statements. - Glenn Reynolds
Florida's insurance industry is in flux as Idalia cleanup begins
Florida's insurance industry is in flux as Idalia cleanup begins
"A thinning insurance market that is beset by more regular hurricanes has caused insurance policy costs to skyrocket.
- An average home premium in Florida is about $6,000 per year, according to the Insurance Information Institute, an industry trade organization. The U.S. average is about $1,700.
The state’s insurance industry is preparing to lose four insurers since last year — Farmers Insurance, Bankers Insurance, Centauri Insurance and Lexington Insurance.
Farmers Insurance announced just last month that it intends to leave Florida, affecting about 100,000 policy holders, and that it would not be writing new policies...
That could mean that, as the costs for insurers rise further, Floridians’ premiums will be affected...
