\n Riot journal: Dems Created Urban Despair<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats didn\u2019t want President Donald Trump to visit Kenosha to respond to last week\u2019s mob violence, looting and arson,\u201d notes The Chicago Tribune\u2019s John Kass, but if he hadn\u2019t gone, \u201che\u2019d be guilty of political malpractice.\u201d And despite \u201cwhat Democrats say,\u201d this year\u2019s violence \u201cdid not begin with Trump.\u201d The \u201croad to urban despair was paved over decades and decades, by failed Democratic policy.\u201d It\u2019s Democrats, after all, who \u201crun the public schools in these cities, where special interests, \u00adincluding public schoolteachers\u2019 unions, are served first, and the kids come last.\u201d It\u2019s Democrats who \u201cimpose high taxes that kill business \u00addevelopment where it\u2019s needed most,\u201d in low-income and underserved areas. And it\u2019s Democrats who control the cities\u2019 police departments. Dems don\u2019t want a spotlight on that despair.<\/p>\n

Iconoclast: Big Tech\u2019s Monstrous Mergers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither left nor right, observes Michael Lind at Tablet, pays enough \u00adattention to the economics that make Big Tech companies\u2019 conduct \u201cindefensible.\u201d Firms like Google and Amazon are trying to revive the conglomerate. Google, for example, owns the world\u2019s largest video-sharing platform (YouTube<\/a>), a smartphone division (Android), a self-driving car project, a cloud-computing platform, a space-exploration business and other concerns. That \u201cmay generate financial benefits for a small number of shareholders and managers,\u201d but \u201cdecades of research have failed to show any benefits to the economy from conglomerate mergers, in the form of increased productivity among the constituent units.\u201d For the sake of workers, consumers and society at large, governments must launch antitrust action against such monstrosities.<\/p>\n

City beat: The Left\u2019s Con Ed-Takeover Folly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The suggestion from \u201cadvocates on the left\u201d \u2014 like Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, following Tropical Storm Isaias \u2014 that government take over the energy grid is a decidedly \u201cbad\u201d one, argues former Treasury economist Ike Brannon at City Journal. \u201cDemocratic socialists may spurn the profit motive, but it motivates people.\u201d It\u2019s harder to reward or punish government workers, and whoever runs the grid would be political. The New York City Housing Authority, which is government-run housing, \u201chas been a fiscal basket case for decades.\u201d Besides, the city lacks the money to buy out shareholders. \u201cNone of this is to suggest that Con Ed is perfect; the city should work with the utility to improve.\u201d But the idea of taking over the company is \u201ca pipe dream\u201d \u2014 and \u201cnot even a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the left: Nancy\u2019s Gift to Don<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nancy Pelosi is one of the Democratic Party\u2019s smartest strategists, \u00adasserts CNN\u2019s Chris Cillizza, so her decision to have her hair done indoors at a San Francisco \u00adsalon, and with no mask, makes \u201clittle sense.\u201d \u00adPelosi says she believed the salon staff, who said doing so was OK, but that information was wrong \u2014 and, as House speaker and \u201ca very vocal critic\u201d of President Trump\u2019s \u201cflouting\u201d COVID-19 rules, \u201cyou can\u2019t rely on what a hairstylist tells you. You double check.\u201d Pelosi\u2019s \u201cunforced error\u201d hands Trump \u201ca \u00admassive gift-wrapp<\/a>ed present.\u201d For him and his allies, sighs Cillizza, the episode \u00ad\u201caffirms everything they have been saying these last few years about liberals\u201d and their \u201cdo-as-I-say-not-as-I-do culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analyst: Electoral College Works for Everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case for a national-popular-vote scheme to replace the Electoral College \u201ccollapses under close scrutiny,\u201d Trent England explains at RealClearPolitics. \u201cIn a direct national election, candidates would still focus most of their time, energy and money in particular areas \u2014 and this time it would be the parties\u2019 traditional geographic base, with an emphasis on big states.\u201d By contrast, the Electoral College makes swing states the key, \u201cforcing candidates to move beyond their primary coalitions and speak to average American voters.\u201d Yet which ones are swing states changes: California used to swing; now Wisconsin does. In this system, \u201cboth safe and swing states are crucial, and candidates must build a broad coalition to win the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n
