In its brief moment of fame, the torpedo bat has made quite the impression in MLB. Over the weekend, the New York Yankees used the bat, designed by an MIT-educated professor, as an instrument of destruction against the hapless Milwaukee Brewers.

Are the days of small markets teams winning the World Series over? No, because winning the World Series only requires 11 postseason wins, providing you avoid the wildcard. The best thing that any team can do to win the World Series is to get into the playoffs.

Is there an economist out there that can explain how a UK/US trade deal happened so quickly? A 2016 study said "on average it takes 1½ years to negotiate an FTA with the United States but over 3½ years to reach the implementation stage."

Why is air traffic control at the center of ideological flexing? The U.S. needs to get its shit together and start following pragmatic best practices. That means modernizing transit, and covering the basics. Not behaving and governing like a third world basket case.
Why can we go workout, play basketball and swim at @NYCParks for a nominal fee or free, but if we want to golf at a NYC Parks golf course it can cost as much as $66 a person? That is a lot for something public, that takes up an enormous amount of public space. @JustinBrannan
