High-deductible barebones affordable policies for catastrophic illness or injury, with premiums priced on actuarial reality and lifestyle. Cash for basic medical services, with price competition and correct market incentives for better service. Free charity clinics and…
Before Obamacare it was possible to buy health insurance that covered a catastrophic event (like cancer) and just pay out of pocket for a checkup. Obamacare means you have to pay more to subsidize all kinds of things that don’t impact you. And of course it has led to further…
A nice look into the reality of our wildly bloated and unaccountable bureaucratic agencies. Not to mention how tens of thousands of fedgov employees simply went home and checked out during covid (some STILL are not back in office).
I served in the PA Bureau at State under W. PA was the dumping ground of every employee who refused to work but could not be fired. There some great & knowledgeable & dedicated career staff with 80% bloat. As a political appointee, you needed private insurance because if you…
Excellent non-hysterical assessment of AI’s impact on jobs from @profstonge
Read the full article: “The New Jobs After AI” profstonge.com/p/what-are-the… “AI transfers wealth to blue collars, service workers -- and away from managers and journalists.” “In the long-run it makes our economy far more humanized than the soul-crushing cubicle farms that future…
Como o populismo rothbardiano se encaixa na ação política Assim como a ação estatal é um jogo de soma zero, o mesmo acontece com a política: alguns ganham e outros perdem. Mas se o termo “populismo” deve ter algum significado, o populismo deve ter alguns elementos distintivos…
Such an honor to interview Dr. Judy Shelton @judyshel on her proposal to have the US offer Treasury Trust Bonds that would be redeemable in gold. Our interview is already at 15K views!! You can watch it here: youtu.be/Vp76lD23Rew?si…
What if America backed its debt with gold again? In this powerful episode, economist and former Federal Reserve nominee Judy Shelton (@judyshel) shares her bold vision for restoring trust in U.S. money. From a historic rethink of the Treasury's role to issuing gold-convertible…
We understand politics and war as breakdowns of decent human society, as worse than zero-sum because they make us poorer--materially and otherwise. But the same can be said for litigation in America. A litigious society is a sick society. A significant percentage of lawsuits are…
So true! But not his place to say it.
.@SecScottBessent: "What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful... All of these Ph.D.s over there, I don't know what they do... This is like Universal Basic Income for academic economists."
More proof of the folly of democracy. Nobody really accepts results they don't like. Nobody considers their political opponents to be legitimate. Voting is just a smokescreen designed to confer false legitimacy, and it fails even to accomplish this.
JUST IN - U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releases "overwhelming evidence" of an Obama-led conspiracy to orchestrate a "coup against President Trump."
This is a good thing: luxury goods and services filter down and become affordable to middle class people. But necessitated by "state failure," the inability of government to provide basic physical security for citizens even in the toniest (net taxpayer) areas.
Coming soon to middle class neighborhoods too.

Introducing Patrol. Homeowners in LA can now book off-duty police officers to help protect their homes. Now available in Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Malibu — more areas coming soon.
In one very narrow sense MMTers and Dick Cheney are correct-- debt and deficits don't matter to Congress because it can't and won't reduce spending.
No debate. No accountability. No plan to stop. Jeff Deist (@jeffdeist) breaks down why Congress has no intention of cutting spending — and why the U.S. may be entering a long, slow decline as a global power. Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/AVeb4V_ZCmE
