Sex killers are heavily transvestites
“A study from 1988 found that 54% of sex killers investigated were transvestites. Other studies have found a transvestism rate of 40% among sexually sadistic murderers, a ‘high frequency of…gender dysphoria in sexual homicide perpetrators,’ and a clear link between dysphoria and sadism,” notes Diana Alastair.
Should Moral Repair Be Offered to Morally Injured Laboratory Animal Technicians?
1 Introduction The role of a laboratory animal technician (henceforth a ‘lab technician’) directly relates to the care and use of animals in research. Their duties often include attending to the basic physical needs of animals by providing food and water, keeping animal housing clean, and monitoring and recording information about an animal, including taking samples such as blood. At the end of research or if there is excess animal stock, they may perform animal euthanasia.
Expanding the Taxonomy of Ethical Issues in Surgical Innovation
1 Introduction Surgical innovation poses significant ethical challenges. Previous work grouped these challenges into four categories: potential harms to patients; compromised informed consent; unfair allocation of healthcare resources; and conflicts of interest [1, 2]. In the decade since these categories were first articulated, there have been important developments that merit revisiting and extending that analysis.

The New Higher Education "Arms Race"
Forty years ago, collegiate institutions competed to attract the last big surge of baby-boomer 18-year-olds, offering campus amenities—fancy dormitories, swanky recreation centers with climbing walls, upgraded athletic facilities, palatial dining halls—that were, at the time, derisively described as an “arms race” among schools.
More on the Presumed Theft of Gold that Became the Fort Knox Holdings
Mises Wire recently ran a story entitled “The Gold at Fort Knox Was Stolen From Americans,” written by Mises Institute‘s executive editor Ryan McMaken. His essay‘s apt title reiterates the facts of the events that occurred in the early days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt‘s first term as president (1933-37). As he correctly states, FDR was determined to “...end the gold standard and confiscate private gold holdings in the United States,” believing that it was a major cause of the Great Depression.
The Fed, With No Earnings, Is Taking Us on a Magic Carpet Trip
By Jane L. Johnson, Mises Institute Most Americans realize that our federal government has, in recent decades, spent so recklessly that it runs ever-increasing annual federal budget deficits (currently nearly $2 trillion) and now sits on over $36 trillion in outstanding federal debt.

The Oldest Gen-Xers Are Turning 60 This Year and Many Are Wondering if Retirement Is Even a Possibility for Them
With President Trump’s new policies, it makes sense to explore moving portions of wealth or retirement to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The new BlockTrust IRA is easy whether someone is new to crypto or an experienced trader. Learn more today. (Mises Institute)—French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798-1857) is purported to have said that, “Demography is destiny,” meaning that a country’s future is determined by the size and age distribution of its population.
Fiscal Federalism: No More Federal Funding of Local Government
Walking the sidewalks in any US small or large city, one sees at street intersections ramped curb-cuts designed to benefit people in wheelchairs. While these infrastructure modifications have certainly benefited some needing assistance to cross at intersections, many of these amenities are as likely to benefit skateboarders, cyclists, and parents pushing strollers and baby carriages—or mere ordinary pedestrians—as they benefit the wheelchair-bound.

It’s Greek to Us: Angry Generation Z Women Reenact “Lysistrata” Post-Election
Summary: In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Kamala Harris on November 5, millions of American women—especially those of Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, currently aged from 12 to 27—are despondent and dismayed that Democrats’ campaign focus on abortion policy did not convince more voters to choose Harris. They are convinced that their “my body, my choice” freedom has been stolen from them by the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v.

Contrived Scarcity and Antitrust Lawsuits-“It’s Not a Bag, It’s a Birkin”
Summary: Seemingly defying logic and common sense, many fashionistas vie to pay ,000 (and even up to as much as 0,000 for versions made of exotic skins such as snake or alligator), for a women’s leather purse known as the “Birkin bag.” Handmade by the French firm Hermes, and named after British pop star Jane Birkin, who popularized the bag several decades ago, these bags today grace the arms of celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.Anna Shnaidman nicely explains this backstory...

The Big Con: No Matter the Form, Easy Money Is Still a Fraud
By Jane L. Johnson, Mises Institute P.T. Barnum purportedly proclaimed that “There’s a sucker born every minute”, though there is no proof that he actually said it. Whether true in Barnum’s time or in today’s social-media era, however, the phrase describes those gullible enough to believe anything, even when their better judgment (if they possess any of that) tells them otherwise. Now comes a story about TikTok, where 40 percent of young adults get their news these days.

Be Prepared to Hear More about Taxes, Taxes, Taxes
This article was originally published by Jane L. Johnson at The Mises Institute. No American politician running for office wants to talk about taxes—unless, of course, it’s to promise a tax cut. No Misesian views taxes with anything but suspicion, and Mises himself held some principled views on taxes: Taxes are necessary. But the system of discriminatory taxation universally accepted under the misleading name of progressive taxation of income and inheritance is not a mode of taxation.
Guest column: Public goods, government transfers, and lawsuits for clean air and climate mitigation
Since the 1930s New Deal and the 1960s Great Society, the US federal budget has shifted from providing pubic goods to distributing transfers (in the form of both spending and lending) to favored groups, a continually metastasizing shift that has now created a federal budgetary and debt crisis. It has also allowed politicians to perfect the fine art of buying votes by awarding federal transfers to select voter groups as a means to winning elections.

The Biden Administration Uses Fudged Numbers to Justify Imposing Punitive Regulations
Americans’ daily lives are governed by both laws and regulations, the former enacted by Congress and the latter issued by the numerous regulatory agencies in the federal government’s executive branch. These agencies are collectively known as the administration state, the deep state, or pejoratively, “the swamp.” Few Americans realize the extent of federal regulations and the costs they impose on everyone.

California’s Latest Hustle: Utility Bills Based on Ratepayers' Income
This article was originally published by Jane L. Johnson at The Mises Institute. Utility bills—for electricity, natural gas, water, and garbage—have by long-standing tradition been based on customer usage, measured in kilowatt-hours of electricity, therms or Btu of natural gas, hundred cubic feet of water, or number of garbage cans. Every residence and business has electric, gas, and water meters that measure utility usage.
Should the US Congress Audit the Federal Reserve?
By Mises Wire, Jane L. Johnson The Federal Reserve system, including its twelve regional district banks that issue our US currency, is a creature of Congress, which passed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 to create our central bank. The Fed is neither part of the executive branch of the federal government, nor is it an independent federal agency within the government, although members of the Fed's Board of Governors are appointed by the Presidential and confirmed by Congress.
Junk fees, Shrinkflation, Surge Pricing and Other Legal Price-setting Strategies: Price Controls by Another Name
President Biden needs an economics lesson. Demonstrating his ignorance of economics, his recent State of the Union speech regaled us with a laundry list of legal business pricing strategies that he wants to see restricted or banned by federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These pricing strategies include what Biden pejoratively calls “junk fees”, “shrinkflation”, “greedflation”, “surge pricing”, and “price gouging”.
The Federal Mega-Debt is Here to Stay
US fiscal realities are well known. Total federal debt outstanding has now reached $34 trillion, up from $98 billion in 1981, $5.67 trillion in 2000, $13.56 trillion in 2010, and $26.95 trillion in 2020. And at 120 percent of the US economy’s productive capacity (gross domestic product), the federal debt matches that at the end of World War II. That $34 trillion, when spelled out, is the number thirty-four followed by twelve (count ’em) zeros separated by four commas.

Are We Really All in This Together?
Acronyms—LOL, PIN, ASAP, CAPTCHA, RADAR, LASAR, SCUBA, and others that combine the initial letters of other words, the whole being pronounced as a single word—have become part of the English language.

Why ethical frameworks fail to deliver in a pandemic: Are proposed alternatives an improvement?
Abstract In the past decade, numerous ethical frameworks have been developed to support public health decision-making in challenging areas. Before the COVID-19 pandemic began, members of the authorship team were involved in research programmes, in which the development of ethical frameworks was planned, to guide (a) the use of new technologies for emerging infectious disease surveillance; and (b) the allocation of scarce supplies of pandemic influenza vaccine.
Regulatory Requirements for Assay Validation and Approval Original
Navigating the intricate web of regulatory requirements for assay validation and approval can be challenging. The science and art of medical innovation rely heavily on assays. Assays are specialized tests that measure a target entity’s presence, amount, or functional activity. The process of validating these assays is equally critical as the assays themselves. This validation is a testament to their accuracy, repeatability, and precision, ultimately ensuring the reliability of their findings.
