Climate Expert Lies About Being a CIA Spy

open quoteThe EPA’s highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison Wednesday for lying to his bosses and saying he was a CIA spy working in Pakistan so he could avoid doing his real job.

John C. Beale’s crimes were “inexplicable” and “unbelievably egregious,” said Judge Ellen Huvelle in imposing the sentence in a Washington. D.C. federal court. Beale has also agreed to pay $1.3 million in restitution and forfeiture to the government.close quote

The Poor

The myriad “poor” advocates in America must talk about inequality. If they instead talked material condition they’d have to confront the fact that their conditions have improved dramatically.

So why the continued advocacy? I think there are two reasons: 1) it gives people an excuse for their failure. 2) status.

Great presentation of hard data by Stefan Molyneux:

* Judging by living standards, the official poor would have been middle class in the 1970s.

* The poor are largely imported (immigration).

* Conservatives and consistently and considerable more generous than American liberals.

* Religion is a strong indicator of charitable giving.
