ALTON - Les Rubin, founder and CEO of Main Street Economics , appeared on Our Daily Show! on Riverbender.com to debunk some recently raised economic myths while exploring the root causes of inflation and more. While Rubin said much of Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s economic policies remain vague, he did note her focus on lowering housing and grocery costs, but denied her claims of “price gouging” by grocery stores. “I’m not sure what she means by that because there’s really no evidence that the Fed has found that that’s happening,” Rubin said of price gouging. “If she’s talking about fixing prices, of course, that’s debunked by virtually everybody from all sides. That has never worked and will never work, all it does is create shortages and black markets - it doesn’t solve the problem.” Rubin sees Harris’s current platform as full of “populist ideas” which,

I didn’t think I was afraid to fly until I was at the airport, and then I was terrified. This Labor Day weekend, I found myself on a trip to Colorado. There will be more to come on the trip itself, but first, I had to conquer the flight there and back. The last time I stepped foot in the airport, I was 17 and invincible. Now I’m 24 and just a little more wary. I was nerved up about the flight, but even the process of getting to the airport and making it through security made me anxious. I spent 30 minutes the night before the flight looking up the rules on liquids and the security checks, at one point literally googling the phrase “how does the TSA work.” With this level of anxiety, I was legitimately quivering by the time we got to the security check. And, of course, it passed without incident. (I learned nothing from this; I was equally nervous before the security check on the flight home. But hey, at least we made it through.) Once we got through

Well, here’s a not-so-fun new twist in the search-and-seizure narrative. Car owners are being deprived of their vehicles just because cops think footage of a crime may have been captured by the car’s on-board cameras. Tesla’s vehicles carry more cameras than most. Added to the cars as a way to protect owners — either by […]
