Seattle’s Dick’s Drive-In Mocks Left and Right Pandering About the Minimum Wage
“As Dick’s reminds us, businesses don’t require a law. Eager to win the services of good and willing workers, the wages they’ll offer well exceed the promises of politicians who have nothing to offer other than force.” ~ John Tamny
-
•
With Their Attacks on David Malpass, Environmentalists Reveal Their Shallow Ways
“Global warming fanatics can’t see that the very human progress they disdain (and that they couldn’t live happily without) is what sets the stage for even better care of the planet they claim to want to save.” ~ John Tamny

•
As Meta Searches For the Future, Lina Khan Aims to Suffocate It
“Whatever Meta discovers through its intrepid search for tomorrow, we’ll all be smarter for it having ventured a vision unlike the present. Too bad Lina Khan is so eager to blind us to the essential knowledge Meta is trying to create.” ~ John Tamny

Empowering Insurance Companies to Save Lives

You’re Not Poor Because You Don’t Know David Brooks, You’re Poor Because You Don’t Know David Brooks

•
If Republicans Won’t Be the Party of Business, What Will They Be?
“Republican support of Sen. Klobuchar’s bill is indefensible, and it raises a basic question of what Republicans will be if they’re not going to be the Party of business and achievement.” ~ John Tamny
-
•
CEOs like the Late Jack Welch Embody the Endless Possibilities of Capitalism
“Gelles wrote of how Welch’s career was ‘defined by devotion to maximizing short-term profits at any cost.’ Where have we heard that one before? If you’re looking for originality, this is the wrong book.” ~ John Tamny

Book Review: Peter Ward’s ‘The Price of Immortality’
“The Price of Immortality is in so many ways a deceptive title. Peter Ward’s readers deserve better, his subject deserves much better, plus the publisher should respect his readers more.” ~ John Tamny
