My kind of elitist does not grade on a curve and is willing to flunk the whole class. I'm looking for honest minds, not "open minds". No peace with communists.

Jeffrey L. Degner’s "Inflation and the Family" makes a simple but powerful argument: inflation doesn’t just raise prices—it shortens time horizons. And when people can’t plan long-term, family formation breaks down. That’s the part he gets right—and it’s more important than most people realize. But inflation alone doesn’t explain what we’re seeing.
