Commenting on Angry Bear Blog

I di notice an issue with commenting. The first thing both Joel and I noticed is there are few of them. I believe we write on interesting topics and display others. For each article written or displayed there is a chance to comment. I do not believe Joel and I are boring. The other writers […]

Raising the Minimum Wage Benefits Society and Reentry to It

Having been exposed to the prison system over a period of time, I can vouch for what the author is proposing and the state is establishing. People do make mistakes. However, if society continues the punishment during and after parole, it becomes harder for a parolee to reestablish themselves in society. As it stands today, […]

The producer part of the economy is doing just fine, thank you

Three Different Views about Oil

These are partials. I have not found one article talking about the entire process. Trump is so volatile, it is hard to know where these talks are going to end up. Oil Price present a “now, short term view. The FED is looking at it from an inflationary aspect. Bolton does not believe we are […]

Quote of the day

We should be clear: Bari Weiss is murdering 60 Minutes. She is doing so not out of incompetence or foolishness, but with malice aforethought. She is doing it at the behest of her corporate patron, because while she may cause CBS News to lose millions of dollars, her stroking of Trump will gain David Ellison […]

Trump Slush Fund

I added a report by “News Hound Ellen” at Crooks and Liars. It has been a while since Angry Bear has featured a commentary from Crooks and Liars. Using the Washington Post, Ellen does an excellent job portraying how this administration is developing its presidential slush fund. Not for the public’s eyes! Short read and […]

Job Market Pessimism

Report by Benedict Vigers on how young America is faring in today’s Job Market. Fewer young people are finding jobs in America than those who are 55 and older. That is kind of odd as companies typically favor the young over the old in job searches. To read this is kind of a surprise for […]

Trump again Crosses the Legal Line of Authority

I have not said or suggested what type of person this type of action would come from today. His actions with foreign people and people of color sys much about what his beliefs are today. Again, Pres. Trump crosses the legal lines of authority by issuing an edict (memorandum) telling in country foreign citizens they […]

But, According to The Gov. Everything is Going Well in the Economy

Acupuncture: therapy or placebo?

First the disclaimers: I’m a PhD scientist with a well-trained crap detector. And I was a medical school (allopathic medicine) professor for 37 years. While I’ve never practiced medicine, I have a pretty deep understanding of evidence-based medicine. “At a time when people are increasingly concerned about drug side effects, some consider acupuncture an attractive […]
