Reversing Industrial Suicide

Following the loss of 5 million U.S. industrial jobs from 2000 through 2017, Joel Kotkin in Spiked writes of the growing consensus – alone among Western countries, and despite the U.S. left’s hatred of Donald Trump – to revive America’s industries by “reshoring” manufacturing. Today, writes Kotkin, even some of the famously globalist “tech bros” are opening new facilities back home to manufacture tangible, advanced products. One sign of success: China is measurably bleeding in its manufacturing output.

Biggest-Ever Financial Scam?

About US$16 trillion has been wasted “feeding the climate change industrial complex,” writes Stephen Moore in Real Clear Politics. The “shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources,” Moore writes with disgust, delivered “not a penny of measurable payoff.” As he notes, since climate policies began ramping up “30 years ago, the temperature of the planet has not been altered by one-tenth of a degree.”

The Casualties of “Deinstitutionalization”

In City Journal, Christina Buttons describes the wreckage caused by the precipitous decline in residential treatment beds for mentally ill teens. Where do they end up? Increasingly, in “juvenile detention”, i.e., jail. Buttons’ detailed report offers a cautionary tale for Canada, where provinces are also grappling over whether to force the mentally ill and/or drug-addicted to undergo treatment (as Alberta is now doing) or simply leave them to suffer (and often endanger others) on the street.

“Shocking heap of human wreckage”

City Journal’s Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo investigate the personal destruction wrought by (genuinely) far-right influencer Nicholas Fuentes. The founder of “Groypers” – a cult-like following of angry young men who will do virtually anything for Fuentes – doesn’t just hate Jews, praise Hitler and Stalin, and oppose inter-racial marriage. As Thorpe and Rufo report, Fuentes betrays his own followers, lies about how he uses the money supporters send him, and defends pedophiles.
