My new article "The Presumptive Case for Organ Markets" now up on SSRN. It makes case that enormous benefits of organ markets create strong presumption in favor of legalization that standard objections don't even come close to overcoming. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I so wish “concepts of a plan” was enough to accomplish something. If so, I would have about 5 more books and 50 more articles. Plus, become Sublime Padishah Emperor of the known universe!

This offer creates some interesting incentives: even people not otherwise inclined to eat cat might do it for $5000! Though Rufo tries to plug the hole by saying incident must have occurred prior to the debate.

Not if I get there first!

This would be a valuable step in the right direction, though not as good as a true organ market.

In this post, I consider some broader lessons of the bogus scare over Haitian migrants supposedly eating cats, including not judging large groups by unrepresentative cases, and not judging migrants by conditions of their countries of origin: reason.com/volokh/2024/09…

I hope it gets delayed indefinitely.

Trump promises to abolish taxes on overtime pay. As with no-taxes-on-tips, Kamala Harris will probably match him. Will have to reclassify as much of my income as possible as either overtime or tips!

If astrologers think horoscopes make accurate predictions, it must be true! Especially properly licensed astrologers. Here in Arlington County, for example, astrologers and fortune tellers must pay $500 to get a license. A guarantee of quality for the astrology-consuming public.

I’m shocked, shocked that Trump would associate with a crazy conspiracy theorist . Shocked, I tell you! He would never dream of promoting crazy conspiracy theories himself. Gotta Stop the Steal of Loomer appropriating all of Trump’s best material.

I will have my employers do the same with my pay. Also, convert as much income as possible to tax-free tips.

Hopefully, George Mason University will follow suit.

This piece I wrote in 2020 is newly relevant. Explains why “I’m for legal immigration” is not a coherent position. And not what most restrictionists really believe (as they want to cut the legal kind too). reason.com/volokh/2020/11…
