“If you happen to be among the lucky few not vaporized in a nuclear strike launched by unknown perpetrators, you should immediately reestablish your fear of Covid-19, the virus of unknown origin. In the words of David Byrne, ‘Same as it ever was.'” ~ James R. Harrigan
“These are hardly the stories of hardened enemies of society. Their ‘crimes’ are like those of the American Robber Barons: They found new ways to give people goods and services they wanted at prices they were willing to pay.” ~ Art Carden
“While pursuing their interests, business leaders have an incentive to serve the welfare of others. Business leaders challenge their assumptions. Politicians act on unexamined assumptions and compel others to obey.” ~ Barry Brownstein

“Policymakers should put the interests of the American people first. How to best protect them? Remember the disasters resulting from Washington’s recent string of endless wars, and ponder the coming fiscal tsunami.” ~ Doug Bandow
“In the dual labor market system many workers take on temporary contracts that are consistently prone to economic shocks and downturns. Freeing up the labor market would reduce the gap between temporary and permanent work.” ~ Michael N. Peterson
