Nominal wage growth is running at its highest rate in 25 years, consistent with prime age employment also being at roughly 25 year highs. The idea hawked by the Fed that the labor markets are weak or meaningfully weakening runs totally counter to reality. @DariusDale42

Fun fact; In the outskirts of Portland is a nice little shop in an anonymous industrial park. You walk in to a little foyer with a folding card table and 9 thick, vacuum sealed Mylar bags, each about 1' long and 4" in diameter. They are sitting on top of about 70 pages of…

The left, specifically the climate left, needs to launch a cross sector campaign around reconstruction, effectually, speed, material gain, (re) deliverance. Using permitting and the law as a force for starting—and finishing projects—not stopping them.

In fact, we really should intervene in it at the federal level. We need congressional legislation that requires cities receiving federal grants enact a minimum level of permitting and zoning reform before they get the money.

I have repeatedly made this point, again and again and again: The vast majority of waste, fraud, abuse, and overbearing, job-killing regulation is not in the federal government. It's the planning bureaucrats in your local city hall and zoning board.

Is it true that the SEC only works one day a month in the office?


“CCP therefore efficiently exports unemployment, hidden in the form of a car.“ And we’ve exported our pollution to them.

In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words. Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. This must be simplified.
