This is NOT "despite." The AMA is a craven, rapacious cartel. Doctors are desperate to protect their profits, like any monopoly. AMA literally forced a substantial cutback in the number of seats in med schools. We pay more BECAUSE of the AMA monopoly, not "despite".

The anti-abundance people are DESPERATE for a shred of evidence saying that building more housing doesn't reduce rents. And every time they think they've found one, it turns out to be bullshit. x.com/michael_wiebe/…

This is the exact same socialist garbage that Elizabeth Warren and Kamala tried to push with "grocery price gouging." Sorry, but if you tax goods, the price will go up. That's how this works. Politicians don't get to demand that Walmart lose money by selling at a loss.

This is quite true, and a useful argument. It was also true, and WOULD have been useful, if Pete Buttigieg had been saying it, with equal fervor, in the period of the Woke Cultural Revolution of 2014-2016. It appears that if the "current head of government" is Obama, then...

I watched this happen on the morning of 4 June 1989 in Chang’an Avenue, near Tiananmen Square, the morning after the night’s massacre. Don’t believe the propaganda lie that no massacre took place: I saw 40 people killed in front of me before giving up counting in despair.

#TonyAwards are entertaining, but sound being so badly mixed has likely already cost Broadway and touring shows $5-$10 million in future ticket sales. I suspect it will cost $100 million unless they fix it soon.

Sorry Comrades „Economists“, Argentina has one of the fastest growth rates in the world, and almost no inflation anymore. Free market works, it works really fast.
