The Left-wing Oxfam group has issued a report saying that the world’s wealthiest 1% will soon own 50% of the world’s wealth. This press release has been nicely timed to match the meeting at Davos, Switzerland of the world’s wealthiest people. Oxfam pulled the same PR stunt last year at this time. It worked. So, […]

The superclass is meeting at Davos this week. In the words of Archie the bartender at Duffy’s Tavern, it’s where the elite meet to eat. They will be able to attend a wide range of seminars, in an attempt to see what’s coming next. They don’t know. The accelerating diversity of opinions is overwhelming the […]

At age 4, kids are expert test-takers. They have to be. If they don’t score well, they will have to attend a public school. Yes, a public school. A New York City public school. The kid is doomed.
