" ... As a long-term bear on Sears, I was not surprised to see the iconic retailer file for bankruptcy. I first recommended shorting the stock years ago and told investors to declare victory about a year ago when it hit single digits after trading as high as $190/share in 2007 (when its Chairman Eddie Lampert was lauded as a financial genius). At the time, the company was repurchasing billions of dollars of stock (it ended up buying back $6 billion of it) in what I argued would go down in history as one of the worst investments of all time, and those buybacks now rank with such gems as buying (or not selling) Valeant Pharmaceuticals at $270/share or believing that Elon Musk was actually going to take Tesla private at $420/share. In recent years, as Sears bled more than a billion dollars of cash each year, the usual suspects argued that Mr. Lampert was playing a deeper game by liquidating the company out of court, but that only made sense if you didn’t know how to read a balance sheet or took daily doses of peyote. If there is something deep and mysterious about losing $1 billion each and every year, I have yet to discover what it is. There is no magic in losing money though insufficient shame in doing so, but if central banks ever stop flooding markets with liquidity and money starts having value again perhaps that will change.

Federally recognized Native tribes already have limited permission to use peyote; the belief is that omitting peyote will discourage non-Native people from exhausting already depleted cactus patches where peyote can be found. ...

" ... This post will explain why yesterday’s decision will have a big impact on future religious liberty cases. About two decades ago, the Supreme Court held that there is no special religious exemption for a “neutral law of general applicability.” So if a law doesn’t purposefully single out religious practices and applies equally to religious and non-religious behavior, the Court will uphold the law even if it substantially burdens religious worship. For example, the Court upheld the sanction of a Native American who used the illegal drug peyote even though he did so as part of religious ceremony. Because the law was neutral (it wasn’t drafted with the intent of burdening religious practices) and generally applicable (it applied to all peyote users, not just religious ones) the law was upheld by the Supreme Court. ...
