The Government of Ontario just spent $75 million on a pro-trade/anti-tariff ad starring... Ronald Reagan.

Good quote from Rand Paul. Congress is too weak.

For a majority of my adult life, I could not stand Catholics. I have said the meanest, harshest, most inappropriate things about Catholicism. I won’t get into the full details, for they are long, but across the last five years, something about my faith began to change. I had

Creative destruction in a nutshell. Firm exit rates and job destruction rates are positively correlated with growth in labor productivity.

Let's be very clear about this, the backlash coming due to the illiberalism of this administration will be pronounced and will not find a sane liberalism but an insane illiberalism from the opposite side. These folks share a desire to see the state as a tool for _them_ to wield
