News analysis Governments of the world today are among the least popular institutions on the planet.

News analysis For most of these last 100 years, unemployment has been an obsession of both economists and government. This is because it has usually been a reliable marker in the business cycle. In good times, the rate falls and in bad times it rises. This pattern has often led to a goofy conflation of…
Silicon Valley Church Sues County Over Pandemic Restrictions
In California’s Silicon Valley, a church in San Jose with over 600 members has filed a civil rights lawsuit against county and state officials over COVID-related restrictions and fines.

We Must Never Forget
Commentary According to the U.N., lockdowns are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children in the Third World.

News Analysis In 2000, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called “The Tipping Point” that has since been rolled into the conventional wisdom. The idea is that viral products start very small, gain new adherents, tap into a special something that relates to fear of missing out, and the climb goes higher and higher until that…
The Economic Meltdown Has Roots in Lockdown
Commentary American’s capacity for denial is truly a thing to behold. For at least 27 months, it should have been obvious that we were headed for a grave crisis. Not only that: the crisis was already here in March 2020. For weird reasons, some people, many people, imagined that governments could just shut down an…
CDC Wants Its Covid Regime Made Permanent
Commentary There is no remorse at the CDC. Far from it. The model of virus control deployed over the last 27 months is now part of normal operations. It wants it institutionalized.
