<description>&lt;p&gt;Vivek Ramaswamy posted his own fact check page. And it's pretty good. It rebuts almost all the criticisms Ramaswamy has been getting since his breakout debate performance. I hope his campaign keeps it updated because I'm sure more knives are going to come out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://kevinbae.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/vivek-ramaswamy-faq-1024x817.png" alt="" width="380" height="303" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.vivek2024.com/truth-over-myth/"&gt;Vivek Ramaswamy Fact Check Page.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know people are suspicious of him. So am I. It's disconcerting when someone pops out of nowhere and starts saying all the things you've been saying or thinking about for decades. I also think it's important to realize that we're all human and there will be no candidate that is perfect or that has never done anything wrong or does everything with which you agree. I'm going to stay skeptical while at the same time taking him at his word until I have reason not to. What's the alternative? The rest of these politicians who have made "public service" their career? Those are the people who created the economic and cultural morass we're in today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vivek Ramaswamy seems like the most Libertarian candidate to ever make a giant splash. I hope what he's saying is not lip service. He's extremely consistent in his responses and his rebuttals. He's very quick and assertive. He's everything the Millennial stereotype is not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reason I'm intrigued with his candidacy is I've been ideologically libertarian for several decades now. I vote Republican most of the time because they align with my economic beliefs... most of time. On cultural issues Republicans want to control you just as much as the Democrats. And don't get me started on the war mongering of both political parties. I don't like or trust either side.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Libertarianism, in my view, is the closest ideology to the U.S. Constitution. My belief goes, the Federal Government is there to represent us internationally, resolve disputes between the states, and enforce the U.S. Constitution as the law of the land. State government is there to represent us to the Federal Government, resolve disputes between local governments and/or between citizens, and enforce each state's Constitution and the laws their legislatures pass. Local governments are there to serve the people directly. This is the closest level to the people and where communities can institute the quality of life they envision with little input from people outside that community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know the above paragraph is not where we are. It's not the real world. But, it's my idealized world. It's one where as long as you're not infringing upon the rights of others you're free to live your life as you see fit. It's one where laws are designed to be universally applied. It's one where rights are natural rights and &amp;nbsp;not something granted by government.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let's not throw out a candidate that could be the real deal. Let's not take the imperfections that every human has and think this disqualifies him and instead elect a professional politician that is part of the problem.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;The Wall Street Journal had an article discussing the booming business of anxiety treatment and how anxiety diagnoses are rising.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Americans&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/most-adults-should-be-screened-for-anxiety-u-s-panel-recommends-11663686000?mod=article_inline"&gt;are anxious&lt;/a&gt;&amp;mdash;and a flurry of old-line companies, upstarts and opportunistic entrepreneurs aim to fill the demand for relief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anxiety has come into focus across the country in part due to the stress of the pandemic, increased awareness about mental health and more screening in schools and at doctors&amp;rsquo; offices. In a recent federal survey, 27% of respondents reported they had symptoms of an anxiety disorder. That&amp;rsquo;s up from 8% in 2019, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>&lt;p&gt;I was watching the video below of Vivek Ramaswamy at The Richard Nixon Foundation where he laid out his thoughts on China and Taiwan. He's getting hammered a bit from Republicans but I think it's possible his proposal may be smart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm going to do a little tiny music podcast. Podcast Index and Podcasting 2.0 have developed the technology that allows listeners to pay artists as they listen to their music. This is an end run around the music licensing racket that has ruined music since record companies were founded. The companies make all the money and the artists get screwed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt; &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With this new technology for podcasts and the Value4Value model listeners can pay these artists as they listen and send them a boost if they like the song or want to send the artist a note. The boosts are called Boostagrams and it's a great way to send a thought or sentiment to the artist or a podcaster that supports Value4Value in their podcast. This podcast is one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt; &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
