“When the communist regimes of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990 and 1991, followers of the Austrian School of Economics knew that socialism’s lack of a coherent method of economic calculation certainly led to the demise of these regimes. Economists had known for years of the chronic shortages, shoddy workmanship, and all of the other negative aspects of economic life in those countries and why no one who understood socialism was surprised at these results.” (06/04/26)

“We are losing ground economically. We are losing credibility abroad. We are losing tourists, workers, stability, trust, constitutional guardrails, and whatever remained of the illusion that the government answers to ‘we the people.’ The tourism economy is taking a hit, with international visitors increasingly reluctant to come to the United States. Even migration—the lifeblood of America’s economic growth, innovation, labor force and national renewal—is now moving in the wrong direction. Fewer people are coming in, more Americans are leaving, and by some estimates the country has already crossed into negative net migration. That is not the mark of a nation ‘winning.’ It is the mark of a nation people are increasingly choosing to escape.” (06/03/26)

“There’s a lot of hostility toward ‘the rich.’ Especially billionaires. The hostility is misplaced. The real divide is not ‘the rich’ versus ‘everyone else.’ It is those who seek to rule, versus everyone they seek to rule.” (06/03/26)

“The bottom income quintile is not a static social class but a temporary snapshot of lives in motion. Most Americans do not remain poor for life, and removing policy barriers can help more people move up.” (06/04/26)

“The PEACE Act, a proposed ballot measure that essentially bans fishing, hunting, ranching, and trapping, appears to have gathered enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot in Oregon this November. If it passes and is not reversed in court, look for other states to follow suit and for food prices and insecurity to grow, all for no net reduction in animal cruelty.” (06/04/26)
