Back in the 775 after 30 years in the PNW. Nevada Wolf Pack, Economics, Politics, Sports.

Hilarious and well done.

Our Town Council keeps raising taxes. So I showed up with an English Lord’s wig to speak in *favor* of taxes. “If you can’t pay your taxes…don’t be poor.”

90% of bad regulation rests on the assumption that whomever we are regulating will not change their behavior in response to new incentives.

We had one student at our K-12 virtual school complete four years of math in a single year. We had another take 18 months to get through one year. Both were doing exactly what they needed. Both are thriving. The problem with traditional math instruction is often the pace. The…

Economics 101: Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money: 1). Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality). 2). Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality). 3). Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost). 4).…

Baffled by people who want more housing but hate home builders, want more medicines but hate pharmaceutical companies, want more jobs but hate employers etc. There's no Easter Bunny...if we want stuff, someone has to make it.

Just a reminder this spring @GovBobFerguson and @washdems cut $500 million from Medicaid to fund pay raises for government employees to the tune of $3 billion. And now they blame Trump because they think you’re stupid.

Reminder that 54% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade level.



America has become a country that can't build things in a timely and cost efficient manner. And it's all due to over regulation. Nuclear plants, high speed rail, light rail, housing. Everything takes too long and costs too much, while at the same time we subsidize things that…

China has rapidly expanded its nuclear program by building copies of Western reactor designs—quickly and at declining costs. There’s no reason this progress should be limited to China. It’s time for the US to unleash its own nuclear renaissance.

Clearly nuclear costs needn't rise forever. We know for a fact that we can make them cheaper, they're just overregulated. But not in China!

One advantage of having many distinct sovereign nations instead of a single world government is that they can try different policies and we can see which work best.

This was so painful to watch in real time.
