Thought for the Day
One thing I have learned in a long life - that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
Albert Einstein
Science is the basis of our technology and it is technology that combines with capitalism to give us our steadily improving standard of living. Large government slows this process down.

Solar Tower of Power
So here it is. The result of science and technology producing a new solution to our insatiable need for power. Can capitalism work to transform this idea into reality and produce cheap continuous power?

French Council Uses Red Tape To Gag Property Price
Meanwhile, old Europe has the solution to low wages and escalating property prices - Price Control.
The Communist Mayor of a little French village has decided to control the prices of houses in her village.
In New Zealand I have seen houses for sale with a free car provided as part of the deal. It is easy to see that in the village you would get a cheap house but have to BUY the very expensive car to go with it!
It will all end in tears. Socialists the world over think that price controls are the answer to rising prices. All that happens is that people stop supplying at a price that is not economic for them to produce. This is why Russian shops were always empty when the Socialists were in charge.
How many new houses will be built in a village that limits the price the supplier can charge? Who wants to own a house that cannot be sold for more than what was paid for it while the government prints extra money each year thus reducing the worth of each franc.
Some of us know that our house has been "worth" the same amount for all these years it is just that governments print more money than they should and this has made our money worth about half what it was eight years ago.
The government is increasing our supply of money by around 8% this year. Expect inflation to continue!
