\u201cWhen Grasshoppers say they\u2019re making dog food, it\u2019s really just slop. Go\u00a0Ants!\u201d<\/p><\/div>I wanted for this election to be about freedom versus Marxism. I definitely did not want for it to be about Coronavirus, when that came along, but I confess that I did not see that the underlying issue was everything versus China. In the end, though, we end up almost where I began: This election is the Ants versus the Grasshoppers. If the Ants lose this election, everyone loses. Go Ants!<\/p>\n
Ramblin\u2019 Gamblin\u2019 Willie:<\/strong> The Grasshopper Rebellion.<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, while I’ve been making fun of the Redfin race-piracy lawsuit, it’s important to keep perspective: It’s just another shake-down. I’m guessing Redfin will cave with an expensive cash settlement and some cheap demonstrations of faked contrition.<\/p>\n I would love it if any corporate weenie would stand up to this mishegos, but Redfin spent all Summer lying about racism and papering over the riots happening within blocks of its offices. God bless Glenn Kelman, who I hope has not been assimilated by The Borg, but I’m not looking for any big-balls moves from that direction.<\/p>\n Rob Hahn:<\/strong> Simple Solution to the Redfin Fair Housing Lawsuit.<\/a> Long read, misses the point: It’s a shake-down. That’s all these lawsuits ever are, going back to Zillow on BloodhoundBlog,<\/a> but going back to the Community Reinvestment Act, at least.<\/p>\n Glenn Kelman:<\/strong> Redfin & Fair Housing.<\/a> I can’t imagine what it feels like to discover the burning need for simple human liberty so late in life, but perhaps this has not happened yet, anyway. Consider this: “Certainly no one can complain that Redfin itself has been greedy about our income as a corporation when, in our sixteen years of being a brokerage, we\u2019ve never made an annual profit.” It’s like something out “Atlas Shrugged” \u2013 “Don’t call me evil! I’m good-hearted but inept, just like the next guy!” As above, I predict Redfin will pay to make this go away \u2013 which policy will invite still more predation.<\/p>\n In the world less shameless:<\/p>\n CNBC:<\/strong> Leaving New York: High earners in finance and tech explain why they left the \u2018world\u2019s greatest city.\u2019<\/a> CTRL-F Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWhen Grasshoppers say they\u2019re making dog food, it\u2019s really just slop.
