I have a problem, a few problems actually, with this essay recently reposted at Resilience.org, a source of great thinking and insights:

The Population Problem: Not as Bad as You Might Think

It’s not that I want to be “alarmist,” but the problem is worse than most people think. But I agree with and admire the intention of the author, Karen Lynn Allen. She wants us to know we can solve the problem, so let’s roll up our sleeves and get busy.

American actor Leonardo DiCaprio lands on the Wall of Shame today for one statement he made in his new film, Before the Flood. I do this very reluctantly, because at the same time I want to applaud the man for investing so much time and energy into producing this movie.

I want to thank Los Angeles Times reporter Jim Puzzanghera for serving up several textbook examples of the pro-growth Kool-Aid that pervades financial reporting. Our case study today is:

U.S. Economy Grows at its Strongest Pace in Two Years

An opinion piece in today’s Wall Street Journal just begged to be on the Wall of Shame here at Growth Bias Busted. They had me at the headline:

A Vote for Trump Is a Vote for Growth

Media bias is getting a lot of lip service these days, but the kind of bias I’m writing about is not the intentional, obvious, or product-of-paranoia bias you might hear U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump complaining about. The kind of bias I’m concerned about is dangerous because it’s NOT so obvious.
