Walter Williams, a black economist and commentator, passed away this month. His wit, insight, and ability to express the complex in simple terms made him unique. I will miss him.
This is an article taken from an address he made at Hillsdale College, in Michigan. The government "owning" GM was topical at the time (2009), but the rest of the article is even more timely today, as we face the looming socialist agenda of Biden/Harris. As has been the case over the span of his public career, he is able to put my worldview into words far better that I could:

-------------------- Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.
