The Rational Number: An idea to save news
http://therationalnumber.blogspot.com/2009/07/idea-to-save-news.html
A rational discourse of politics in Canada and in Nova Scotia. Sunday, July 26, 2009. An idea to save news. I believe there are several problems with news media today which must be addressed. News, especially television news, often competes for advertising revenue and is expected to profit. This opens the possibility that the news will favor their advertisers. Reports might be biased by many different means. This rating system would be paid for by application fees. Any organization which wants a rati...

The Rational Number: With respect to Sun TV
http://therationalnumber.blogspot.com/2010/09/with-respect-to-sun-tv.html
A rational discourse of politics in Canada and in Nova Scotia. Saturday, September 4, 2010. With respect to Sun TV. I want to leave a public record that I support the concept of free speech with respect to the government. I respect that Sun TV. May perceive a bias in other media for liberal points of view, and feel compelled to present what they perceive as an unbiased alternative. I encourage them to try their best. I welcome deeper analysis and better reporting so I may be better informed. I plan to fo...

The Rational Number: February 2009
http://therationalnumber.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
A rational discourse of politics in Canada and in Nova Scotia. Tuesday, February 3, 2009. Luxury vs. necessity. Now be warned, this post might not be so rational, probably more speculative. Given people's perception of a coming recession, they cut back spending. Suppose we classify those spending cutbacks as either necessary. Purchases. It's difficult to cut back necessities like heat, electricity, bread, milk, etc. Compared with that, a new television is much harder to justify. I doubt shovels in the gr...

The Rational Number: Swine flu, the free market and EI
http://therationalnumber.blogspot.com/2009/05/swine-flu-free-market-and-ei.html
A rational discourse of politics in Canada and in Nova Scotia. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Swine flu, the free market and EI. Those who promote free markets. The invisible hand,. The efficient market hypothesis. And related topics often neglect the social cost and the meaning of equilibrium. I doubt anyone would let a pandemic flu just run its course without trying to do something. No one would stand for that, it can't even be argued. So how to allow the host to die while protecting the symbionts? Employment I...

The Rational Number: April 2009
http://therationalnumber.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
A rational discourse of politics in Canada and in Nova Scotia. Friday, April 17, 2009. I really feel for the laid-off Abitibi mill workers. Though I know none of them. Don't forget the woods workers contract didn't include severance either. Doesn't recognize much of its responsibility, including to the province and the environment. Enjoy those benefits because they assume more risk. Than employees - at least I thought so. I think the trade-off between risk and reward needs to be re-examined. Business...
