"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it." The Righteousness Fallacy (also known as the fallacy of good intentions) is described by author Dr. Bo Bennett as the idea that one is correct because their intentions are pure. It recently occurred to me that California is a perfect example of this fallacy. Consider these three facts about the Golden State: 1, California spends about $98.5 billion annually on welfare—the most in the US—but has the highest poverty rate in America. 2. California has the highest income tax rate in the US, at 13.3 percent, but the fourth greatest income inequality of the 50 states. 3. California has one of the most regulated housing markets in America, yet it has the highest homeless population in American and ranks 49th (per capita) in housing supply.

Remembering The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Simcha Rotem, one of the last-known surviving fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of April-May 1943, died in Jerusalem on December 23, 2018, aged 94. His death prompted a good deal of global coverage, since the story of the Ghetto Uprising—not to be confused with the Warsaw Home Army Uprising of August-October 1944—is an integral one to the story of Jewish resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War.
