AI regulatory activity is completely out of control in the U.S. We have already seen over 700 bills introduced less than two months into 2025. That's around 13 per day. It's hard to beat China when you're looking to regulate like you're Europe.

Elon Musk's DOGE strategy is best summed up by a five-point design process he calls "the algorithm." Walter Isaacson says the process is "shaped by the lessons [Musk] learned during the production hell surges" at Tesla's factories in 2017–2018. Thread from Isaacson's bio... 🧵

I used to be quite pessimistic about the possibility of serious regulatory reform. But these days, I'm an optimist. I write about why here: open.substack.com/pub/thirdorder…

Regulatory accumulation has real costs that slow our economy, reduce innovation, and make us poorer. Agency rulemaking also messes with the separation of powers established in the Constitution. Daniel Dew and I explore what's at stake at Townhall. townhall.com/columnists/dan…

I used Grok 3 to summarize the RegData project. I made a few edits to the resulting article that it wrote, but I have to say: it did a damn fine job. Here's the article - x.com/EconPatrick/st…

Texas is the 5th most regulated state in the country. If TX is going to continue to attract businesses and entrepreneurs, it needs regulatory reform. Some recent proposals seem to be moving in that direction. txregreform.com/post/coalition… Coalition for Regulatory Efficiency and Reform

Economics is a science just like physics, but it is physics if matter could talk, and if molecules had will. Mill described it as the "inexact science", but Menger was better and explained the different aspects of the science -- exact laws, empirical realistic theory, and
