Delivery from drone to door

Editorials

There’s a new delivery system in town. Well ... maybe not in your town. In some places, drones are now allowed to deliver small packages, groceries and takeout. Companies like Wing and Zipline bring people hot meals in under 10 minutes. I had to watch it to believe it. You can see it in my new video. Drone delivery makes sense. Drones are faster and usually more efficient than sending cars to people’s homes — why use a whole car and driver for a single burrito? Drone delivery was supposed to be common years ago. Jeff Bezos told “60 Minutes” he expected Amazon to be ...

Stopping the socialist scourge permeating America

Editorials

How can anyone escape the irony that in this year, as we celebrate 250 years since the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, the principles of that declaration are being widely challenged? When Americans should be basking in the light of our hard-fought-for freedoms, standing guard on our God-given rights noted in that declaration, there are Americans ready to turn their back on them. Candidates advocating socialism, the antithesis of “all Men... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights,” are winning elections. Michigan Democratic candidate ...

Want to help? Try becoming a poll worker

Editorials

On National Poll Worker Recruitment Day earlier this week, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose rightly seized the opportunity. It’s hard to overestimate the importance of a robust team of volunteers willing not only to ensure the security of our elections, but to guide those seeking to cast their ballots and generally make sure the day runs smoothly. “Every election depends on dedicated Ohioans who are willing to serve their communities,” LaRose said. “This November, voters across the state will be casting ballots in important races that will shape Ohio’s future. Poll ...

It’s time for Democrats to widen their ‘big tent’

Editorials

Here we go again. We’re approaching another presidential campaign year, and once again I am reminded of what the great sage Will Rogers said back in 1933: “I am not a member of any organized political party,” he said. “I am a Democrat.” Yes, I know that Rogers quote is old enough to have whiskers on it. Yet, compared to the comparatively regimented style of the Republicans, particularly the MAGA faction that runs the party, the Democrats seem to specialize in finding new ways to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory, especially since the two successful terms of ...

Multinational profits should face taxation

Editorials

Governments are told that public services must shrink because money is tight. Yet a new Tax Justice Network report says that countries could capture an extra $500 billion a year without raising corporate tax rates. The answer is to tax multinational profits where real economic activity happens — known as unitary taxation. No new profit is created. Revenue simply shifts from tax havens where profits are “booked” to the countries where workers produce and customers spend. Making that principle a global tax standard depends on United Nations talks opening in New York on Monday. ...

From Studio 54 to the bridal procession

Editorials

Brides should know that they already have a man. They don’t have to use their wedding to attract a date for Saturday night. They’ve supposedly secured one for the foreseeable future. Thus, it’s hard to figure how the fashion trend of “naked dressing,” lamentable even at nightclubs, has invaded the precincts of ancient social custom. Displaying one’s privates — or underwear — in public started as a fashion trend pushed by attention-hungry celebrities. Now it’s walking down the aisle. The traditional bridal dress is white for its association with purity, innocence ...
