Facebook Should Stage Regular Outages to Awaken Its Clueless Critics
“Yes, it’s no fun when access is cut off to what routinely pleases you. In that case, maybe Facebook should stage occasional outages as a way of waking up its hapless critics to how much the company’s alleged victims enjoy its free offering.” ~ John Tamny

President Biden Is the Latest to Promote the Fib That Corporations Pay No Taxes
“So long as the tax code penalizes work and investment, corporate taxes will be enormously high. Call them what they are: taxes on individual earnings that harm the individual, and that by extension harm the corporations that operate within what we call an ‘economy.'” ~ John Tamny

Evergrande Is Not A ‘Systemic Risk.’ Politicians Are The Only Risk To The ‘System’
“Let’s hope that Chinese government officials prove wiser than American politicians, pundits, and economists who to this day think 2008 was caused by the failure of a few financial institutions.

New Jersey: Yet Another Reminder of How Good Americans Have It
“At the very least it’s a reminder that a bad day in the United States is an amazing day most anywhere else. People are in love with what we dismiss. When we lament what’s spectacular we’re just acting spoiled.” ~ John Tamny

$9 Reading Glasses, $16 Sunscreen, and the Genius of Economic Growth
“‘Green’ is generally expensive. That’s ok, but we generally will only swallow big expenses like $16 sunscreen if we feel we have the means to swallow these expenses.

Richard Branson’s Genius and Putting the Rich First
“The only question about the tomorrow in this story is whether or not there will be money to make space travel affordable.

The Protests In Cuba Tell a Much Bigger Global Story
