Calls mayor's mandate unconstitutional.

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (PNN) - March 15, 2020 - The owner of Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse in Nashville said he is refusing to follow Mayor John Cooper's plan to shut down all bars in the city’s tourist hot-spot Lower Broadway during the coronavirus scare. After a video of a packed bar went viral overnight, the Metro Board of Health approved a plan to shut down all bars in Davidson County, including the honky-tonks in downtown Nashville. The Tennessee Department of Health reported 39 cases of coronavirus in the state, with 17 in Davidson County.

Commentary: Get rid of the safety net

March 9, 2020 - Central to the idea of a welfare state is the notion of the “safety net”. The idea is that a free society is much like walking the high wire. High wire walkers sometimes fall, hit the ground, and die, but not if they have a safety net. If they fall, they fall into the safety net and live another day.

The free society, it is said, operates much the same way. People fall on hard times, are unable to pay their bills, and die of starvation. A welfare-state safety net, it is argued, ensures that they survive and live another day.

However, the safety-net argument is fallacious, both from a moral standpoint and a practical standpoint.

LONDON, England (PNN) - March 11, 2020 - The human race is in grave ­danger. Thousands of people are showing severe symptoms already and there is no known cure.

Commentary: The gospel of ignorance

By Paul Rosenberg

March 3, 2020 - The good news about ignorance is that it sets us free from mental chains. Now, to be clear, what I'm talking about here is accepting and admitting our ignorance. This is essential if we want to actually know things, as opposed to making a show of knowing things. I can tell you from personal experience that it really works. I gained the habit of admitting my ignorance (almost advertising it) back in the early 1980s, and that habit has helped me toward more understanding and discovery than I'd be able to itemize.

Mom entrepreneurs share how they homeschool and grow their businesses

Submitted by Freedomman on Wed, 03/04/2020 - 19:27

December 10, 2018 - “I would love to homeschool my (children), but I have to work.” Homeschooling parents hear this statement all the time, sometimes during casual conversations about various education options, or more often, when a friend or stranger confides that schooling isn’t working so well.

I’m not going to lie; homeschooling requires a lot of effort, presence, time, and vigilance. But with more parents able to work flexible schedules, share childrearing responsibilities, take advantage of the growing gig economy, and utilize various alternatives to school, homeschooling is becoming a more realistic option for many families.

The three moms spotlighted here have found that entrepreneurship is a particularly powerful tool for combining homeschooling, career fulfillment, and financial prosperity. They are strategic and savvy multi-taskers - just like most parents juggling work and family. But as entrepreneurs and homeschoolers, these moms show that it is possible to fully nurture your children and your company at the same time.
