CATO: Global Freedom Is in Sharp Decline

January 27, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Within the recent release of Cato Institute's Human Freedom Index 2022 lies a warning—global freedom is in sharp decline. Cato's scholars report: The HFI is the most comprehensive freedom index so far created for a globally meaningful set of countries and jurisdictions representing 98.1 percent of the world’s population. The HFI covers 165 jurisdictions for 2020, the most recent year for which sufficient data are available. The index ranks jurisdictions beginning in 2000, the earliest year for which a robust enough index could be produced. On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 represents more … [Read more...]

Welcome to Hotel California, Where You Can Never Leave

January 25, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Leave it to California to sap the wealth from the successful. You can add New York, Illinois, Maryland, Hawaii, Minnesota, Connecticut, and Washington to the list too. You know from my Super States ranking where your money will be treated with more respect than it is by these money grabbers. I’ve never been a fan of letting taxes wag the dog but what we’re seeing is more than taxes, it’s about taking away your freedom. Now politicians in California want to emulate the famous Eagles tune, "Hotel California," and not allow even those who leave the state to escape its draconian … [Read more...]

NYC Bleeding Revenue as Wealthiest Flee the City

January 23, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Many of New York City's wealthiest residents are leaving, and they're taking a substantial portion of the 66% of the city's tax receipts they pay with them. Instead, they're heading to states where politicians respect their money. Places like Texas and Florida. Jing Pan reports in MoneyWise: Haven’t you heard? New York is so 2018. At least, that’s the case for the super wealthy. Between 2019 and 2020, the number of New Yorkers earning between $150,000 and $750,000 fell by nearly 6%, according to the New York City Independent Budget Office. Moreover, the number of real high earners — … [Read more...]

LOSING POWER: Your Survival Guy’s Nightmare Scenario

January 20, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Your Survival Guy lost power last week and the worst part about it was I wasn’t at home. Why was that so bad? Because my significant other was home. Making matters worse, our generator didn’t kick in. Imagine the horror going through my mind when I’m told it’s pitch black in the house and she's all alone. I suggested walking out to the generator with a flashlight to get a look at it. That was met with silence. OK, then. Long story short the power came back on within an hour. The generator part we need is on backorder thanks to the supply chain mess. That’s getting installed today in an … [Read more...]

The World Economic Forum’s Record of Destruction

January 19, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

The World Economic Forum, the originator of the Great Reset, has developed a record of complete failure leading to destruction and catastrophe across the globe. Tucker Carson explains the organization's record of failure. During his monologue, Carlson takes time to call out John Kerry, the Biden administration's Climate Czar. Learn more about him in my series The Great Reset: Meet the Climate Czar and His War. Twitter CEO Elon Musk took time to use a poll to ask Twitter users "The World Economic Forum should control the world," to which Twitter users could answer "Yes," or "No." Fox … [Read more...]

WATER STORAGE: California’s Missed Opportunity

January 18, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

When you’re a child, you learn not to leave the water running. You learn to conserve. That might be a good lesson for the government. Look what’s happening in California with their water storage or lack thereof. The editors of The Wall Street Journal explain: More reservoirs are desperately needed in the North to capture melting snowpack that would otherwise drain into the Pacific or overflow river banks. Reservoirs store runoff and help prevent flooding. Most reservoirs in the North are now above historical average levels so they may have to release water this spring to avoid … [Read more...]

Democrats Want Your Money and Your Freedoms

January 17, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

To all my freedom-loving customers in New Jersey, the fight for your Second Amendment rights is taking shape. The Wall Street Journal's editorial staff explains: Massive resistance used to be a phrase associated with Southern opposition to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling on racial integration. These days it describes how progressive institutions resist the Supreme Court’s rulings on guns, race and regulation. In June the High Court ruled that the ability to carry a firearm outside the home is fundamental to the Second Amendment. New Jersey politicians responded by … [Read more...]

What Are Klaus Schwab and the WEF Up To?

January 17, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

The “we know best what’s good for you” theme at Davos and the Great Reset is all about control. That is putting more control in the hands of the few and redistributing to others. No thanks. Michael Shellenberger and Izabella Kaminska write of the World Economic Forum: The World Economic Forum, which meets this week in Davos, Switzerland, is fighting back against conspiracy theorists who say it and its founder Klaus Schwab are seeking global domination through a “great reset” aimed at stripping the masses of their private property, de-industrializing the economy, and making everybody eat … [Read more...]

Is Maryland Next in Line for New Draconian Gun Laws?

January 13, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Maryland legislators want to join other states like New York and New Jersey in the effort to severely restrict where concealed carry licensees can carry their firearms in a cynical response to the Supreme Court's nullification of their "may issue" permitting systems. David Collins reports for WBALTV, writing: A series of gun control proposals are before the General Assembly this year, including a unique approach to address ghost guns. Senate President Bill Ferguson, D-District 46, said he considers public safety a priority. "It is a top primary concern for us. It has been, it will … [Read more...]

The Creeping Assault on Gun Owners’ Rights

January 12, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Radical gun control activists, both in and out of government, are nothing if not persistent. After being soundly beaten time and time again in front of the Supreme Court, they continue to imagine new ways to hamper Americans' ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights. The city of San Jose has found a novel way to make the lives of law-abiding gun owners miserable. Zusha Elinson reports in The Wall Street Journal: Dave Truslow, a San Jose, Calif., tech-industry retiree and firearms instructor, recently started storing his collection of more than 100 guns out of town because he wanted … [Read more...]
