In 1900‚ the population of Las Vegas was 22 people. Today‚ more than 39 million people visit the gambling center of America.

The most important factor in work is having a strong work ethic—a force that drives our society‚ but one that seems to be on the decline‚ said the author of the new book “Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life.” Author David Bahnsen said he’s “against the idea of work-life balance.” Instead‚ he believes in a “work-rest paradigm”: a value on work over rest‚ while acknowledging the value in not “overworking” oneself.  Bahnsen‚ the founder of a $5 billion private wealth management firm was Wednesday’s guest on “The Kevin Roberts Show.” He said that every person‚ from a busboy to a CEO‚ should find dignity in his work. “I believe that the work has dignity because I believe the worker has dignity. And I believe the worker has dignity because he or she was made by God‚” the financier said.  He said that one proof of America’s lackluster work ethic is a retirement-focused workforce.   Bahnsen lamented that our culture tells 30-year-olds that the only reason they work is “so that one day I won’t have to do it anymore.”  The financier elaborated on this point by saying that the loss of the older demographic from the labor pool has “sidelined some of our best talent.” Essentially‚ retirement has weakened our national productivity due to the loss of wisdom and drive from the workforce.   On the flip side‚ Bahnsen said there is also a significant loss of jobs for high school- and college-aged people‚ the positions often taken by students after school or over the summer.   He claims that a “high minimum wage” destroys many of these types of jobs. He says to raise the minimum wage is “an affront on high school employment.”   The decrease in these “spending money” positions‚ as Bahnsen called them—jobs employees are not reliant on to make a living but rather to earn spending money—has a net disbenefit on society. As the numbers of these more entry-level jobs decline‚ young workers lose the opportunity to learn the necessary “resilience” and “job skills” that the workplace relies on everyone having.   Kevin Roberts asked Bahnsen for a solution to these issues. The financier said there must be a “bottom up” answer. He said that there is a “limited ability” for government’s public policy to change attitudes about the dignity of work. The solution‚ Bahnsen said‚ resides in local communities‚ small businesses‚ and churches.   The local community‚ he commented‚ has an “infectious” aspect that propels a healthy work ethic‚ a work ethic that often engages younger generations.  “Gen-Z‚ I’m getting a totally different impression from‚” he stated. “They want mentorship‚ they want the feedback.” He said the younger generation’s desire for mentorship will create social cohesion that drives productivity.  Gen Z can “really bridge a lot of these things [social cohesion] together.” This‚ Bahnsen says he hopes‚ will create a more productive and dignified workforce.  Have an opinion about this article?

Two teachers have added the governor and attorney general of California to a lawsuit. The suit claims that state policies have forced educators to lie to parents by hiding the transgender status of their children from them. Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West‚ two teachers at Rincon Middle School in Escondido‚ sued the Escondido Union School District in April‚ alleging violations of their First Amendment rights. They allege that the school district’s “Parental Exclusion Policy” prevents teachers from disclosing “the fact that a student identifies as a new gender‚ or wants to be addressed by a new name or new pronouns during the school day.” The teachers added Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta to the lawsuit last month. “The governor is the boss‚” Paul Jonna‚ the lawyer representing Mirabelli and West‚ told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday. Newsom “has ultimate responsibility for setting education policy for those under his supervision‚” Jonna‚ special counsel at the Thomas More Society and partner at the firm LiMandri and Jonna LLP‚ added. “Rincon Middle School and the Escondido Union School District do not operate in a vacuum‚” he noted. “The California Constitution provides that education is ultimately a matter of state responsibility.” Pictured: Elizabeth Mirabelli and Lori Ann West‚ respectively. The lawsuit alleges a school district procedure titled the “Parental Exclusion Policy” prevents teachers from disclosing “the fact that a student identifies as a new gender‚ or wants to be addressed by a new name or new pronouns during the school day.” The legal nonprofit Thomas More Society‚ which is representing Mirabelli and West‚ claims that “the district outright refused to exempt the teachers from the Parental Exclusion Policy—compelling them to systematically deceive the parents of their students.” In August 2022‚ the teachers received an email with a list of students‚ including their preferred names and pronouns. The list included directions on whether teachers could disclose the names and pronouns to the students’ parents or guardians. Mirabelli reportedly received an email with a list of students like this: “[student name]: Preferred name is [redacted] (pronouns are he/him). Dad and stepmom are NOT aware‚ please use [redacted] and she/her when calling home.” Mirabelli and West claim the policy violates their First Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion. In September‚ a U.S. district court judge granted a preliminary injunction preventing the school district from enforcing the Parental Exclusion Policy on Mirabelli and West. Judge Rodger T. Benitez called the policy a “trifecta of harm:” It [the policy] harms the child who needs parental guidance and possibly mental health intervention to determine if the incongruence is organic or whether it is the result of bullying‚ peer pressure‚ or a fleeting impulse. It harms the parents by depriving them of the long recognized Fourteenth Amendment right to care‚ guide‚ and make health care decisions for their children. And finally‚ it harms plaintiffs who are compelled to violate the parent’s rights by forcing plaintiffs to conceal information they feel is critical for the welfare of their students—violating plaintiffs’ religious beliefs. In January‚ the educators added Newsom and Bonta to the lawsuit‚ claiming that the school district is acting under their direction in attempting to enforce “state and federal anti-discrimination law.” The California Department of Education has interpreted the law to require school districts to hide students’ transgender identity from certain parents on pain of state education funds. Pictured: Jeffrey Trissell‚ Elizabeth Mirabelli‚ Lori Ann West‚ and Paul Jonna respectively. The amended legal complaint also says that “according to the attorney general‚ the State of California will sue any school district who fails to adopt these policies.” Bonta “has been threatening school districts to adopt policies to conceal student gender incongruity from parents and legal guardians‚ pitting students‚ parents‚ and schools against each other‚” Jonna‚ the teachers’ lawyer‚ said. He said Benitez’s order deemed those policies unconstitutional‚ and the attorney general has shown no willingness to follow it. “Bonta’s actions have demonstrated the state of California is not taking any actions to comply with Judge Benitez’s orders‚ so he will now be made to‚” Jonna said. Jonna says his clients are also desiring “a declaration that the parental exclusion policies violate parental rights because they cannot be forced to break the law.” When asked to respond to Newsom’s arguments about such policies‚ Jonna said‚ “The policies are not needed to protect students—they harm students.” “When teachers are forced to lie to the parents who have entrusted a child into their care – that is unconscionable‚” he added.

Elon Musk announced Wednesday that SpaceX is moving its state of incorporation to Texas from Delaware‚ a move hailed by the Lone Star State’s governor.  The decision followed a recent ruling by a Delaware judge that sided with a Tesla shareholder’s lawsuit challenging Musk’s $56 billion pay package as being excessive. Musk is the CEO of Tesla‚ a maker of electric vehicles‚ and the founder and CEO of SpaceX‚ a spacecraft and telecommunications company.  Musk conducted a poll on X‚ formerly Twitter‚ which he also owns‚ for shareholders to vote on whether the privately held SpaceX should relocate to Texas.   According to Musk‚ the poll found that 87% of participants supported SpaceX’s move to Texas. “The public vote is unequivocally in favor of Texas! Tesla will move immediately to hold a shareholder vote to transfer state of incorporation to Texas‚” he posted.  Musk confirmed in a post on X that “SpaceX has moved its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas‚” adding: “If your company is still incorporated in Delaware‚ I recommend moving to another state as soon as possible.”  SpaceX has moved its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas!If your company is still incorporated in Delaware‚ I recommend moving to another state as soon as possible. pic.twitter.com/B7FLByL2dY— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 15‚ 2024 SpaceX is joining 55 other Fortune 500 companies that are headquartered in Texas‚ including Tesla‚ AT&;T‚ ExxonMobil and Oracle.   In 2021 alone‚ 62 corporations relocated their headquarters to Texas. James Quintero‚ policy director at the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Taxpayer Protection Project‚ thinks he knows what Texas has to offer in the eyes of those companies.   “Texas policymakers have consistently held to a vision of low taxes‚ limited government‚ and personal freedom‚” he said. “Upon this stable policy framework‚ the private sector has been able to build‚ grow and prosper.”  Regarding the Lone Star State’s conservative-leaning policies‚ Quintero said‚ “Texas’ booming economy is proof positive that conservatism works. Labor and capital are flocking to Texas because unlimited opportunity exists where there are free markets and free people.”  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott‚ a Republican‚ quickly reshared one of Musk’s pro-Texas posts: “Here we go. X marks the spot.”   Here we go. X marks the spot. https://t.co/Nb5OheL8LK— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) February 15‚ 2024 Have an opinion about this article?
