Gavin Newsom’s gas-powered vehicle ban: the wrong approach to fight climate change
One would expect that the decades-long exodus of low- and e residents fleeing California would be cause for reflection and self-critical introspection on behalf of its effective one-party government. Skyrocketing costs of living and a cratering middle class – caused by years of anti-business regulation, powerful public sector labor union monopolies, and one of the highest tax burdens in the nation – should be ample reason for the Golden State’s progressive leadership to reassess its approach to governance. But don’t...
What Nicholas Kristof got right
Recently, Nicholas Kristof’s published an op-ed about the Social Progress Index, a multi-year study of the quality of life in 163 countries. Kristof writes, “New data suggest that the United States is one of just a few countries worldwide that is slipping backward.” While at first reading this sounds like bad news, I think the data (and underlying science) is a bit plicated than they might appear. The SPI seeks to offer “a new way to define the success of...
FAQ: What is Sukkot, the ‘Feast of Tabernacles’?
The Jewish feast of Sukkot lasts seven (or eight) days – in 2020, from sundown on Friday, October 2, to sundown on Friday, October 9. Here are the facts you need to know. When is Sukkot? Sukkot – also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, Feast of Booths, Feast of Ingathering, or simply “The Feast” – always begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the Jewish calendar (Tishrei). Thus, it begins five days after Yom Kippur, the...
Fratelli Tutti is a familiar mixture of dubious claims, strawmen, genuine insights
One of the first things that will strike readers of Pope Francis’s new social encyclical Fratelli Tutti is its sheer length. At about 43,000 words in English (including footnotes), that’s more than the Book of Genesis (32,046) and three times the size of the Gospel of John (15,635). Despite its length, there’s little in this text that we have not heard Francis say before in one form or another. But whether the subject is capital punishment or his theme of...
Everything that’s wrong with Dick Costolo’s tweet in 1,531 characters
Woke capitalism went into overdrive on Wednesday, when a former Twitter CEO seemingly endorsed the full-scale liquidation of entrepreneurs who refuse to bring politics into the workplace. Dick Costolo served as COO of Twitter before ing its CEO from 2010 to 2015. On September 30, he replied to a tweet about woke capitalism from venture capitalist Paul Graham. Graham shared a statement from the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase, which vowed to “create a sense of cohesion and unity” by emphasizing...
Alejandro Chafuen in Forbes: freedom and equality
“Equality” is a term that people uss a lot of nowadays – too much, some would argue. This week in Forbes, the Acton Institute’s managing director, international Alejandro Chafuen writes about equality and its relationship to freedom. Not all agree on which factors of equality are most important – equality of opportunity, e equality, equality before the law, and so on – but however we define it, freedom and equality cannot be separated. Dr. Chafuen’s analysis incorporates much from a...
COVID-19 and crony capitalism
Who wins in the COVID-19 economy? In some cases, outright fraud allows businesses to prosper. In other cases, political connections enable businesses to collect revenue from the federal government. Crony capitalism is defined by the Mercatus Center as “an economic system in which the profitability of firms in a market economy depends on political connections.” Large-scale bailouts and interventions have increased cronyism during the pandemic. The more government funds that are available for individuals and businesses to capture, the larger...
Amy Coney Barrett: handmaid of the Lord, not the state
In their attempt to forestall the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, a growing number mentators point to her membership in a Christian group that once used the term “handmaid.” This “controversy” shows, among other things, how the works of Margaret Atwood have displaced the traditional Western canon. However, it also adds a thin veneer of respectability over rehashed anti-Catholic prejudice, camouflages anti-Christian bigotry, and conceals a noxious and unconstitutional religious test for office. It takes little...
When cronyism meets ‘creative destruction’
Amid rapid globalization, Americans have faced new pressures when es to economic change, leading to abundant prosperity, as well as significant pain and disruption munities. In search of a villain, populists and progressives routinely blame the expansion of free trade and rise of global conglomerates, arguing that entrenched and moneyed interests are now allowed to run rampant from country to country with petition or accountability. In search of a solution, those same critics tend to relish in nostalgia, either reminiscing...
The worst moment of the first presidential debate in 2020
The first presidential debate of 2020 reached an historic low in its the very first segment – not from Joe Biden calling the president a “clown” or telling him to “shut up,” nor from Donald Trump choosing to imitate Biden’s interruption-laden 2012 vice presidential debate performance on steroids. The debate descended into disaster when Joe Biden refused to answer whether he would pack the Supreme Court and alter the foundations of American justice. Sadly, most viewers will remember the style...
