The president, the media, experts—all that’s left is our new sages, ‘influencers.’Who can you trust anymore? Just before leaving office, President Biden railed against a “tech-industrial complex” claiming, “The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit.” Hmmm, was he referring to the coverup of his own health decline and the sharp-as-a-tack charade?

Reagan’s free-market views are said to be passé. So is McKinley in the avant-garde? RIP free markets. Because of tariffs, Ford is raising prices. Toy maker Mattel is too. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News, “We don’t want to decouple—what we want is fair trade.” President Trump was nice enough to define what “fair” means: “Children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls.” This is Economics 101 of the New Right. It’s infectious.

Facing the freeze of $2.2 billion in federal grants, Harvard is selling $750 million in bonds, for a total of $1.2 billion this fiscal year. But with a $53 billion endowment, why incur debt?
