United States ruler Donald Trump has accused oil giants of price gouging the American public, as fuel prices soar. The major spike in price occurred after the US, along with Israel, struck Iran and started a war in the Middle East. Oddly enough, a lot of the horrible war decisions made by the US seem to revolve around oil. It is difficult to see what the US thinks the endgame is when Americans are at their breaking point with prices, and the fault lies squarely on the shoulders of the ruling class. It’s All About The Oil: Trump Wants “Oil…

The AR-15 was designed in the 1950’s a time when tail fins were on Cadillacs, the Cold War was running hot, and the Soviet Union and the U.S. were in a race to be the first to reach the moon. As that’s roughly seven decades ago, it begs the question: Is the AR past its prime? As iconic as the carry handle on the original AR-15/M16 was, the change to a flattop receiver and Picatinny rail completely changed the nature of the AR, making it more easily optics-ready. Let’s dive in and decide. Matured and Refined? Historically, the military had…

This article was originally published by Jimmy Alfonso Licon at The Mises Institute.  People are falling in love with their chatbots, mourning deleted AI companions, and treating artificial systems as romantic partners or family members.

With our fellow humans we manage to recognize moral standing…
