There was no "cover-up" of Joe Biden's senility, his drooling, and his old people habits. Every sentient being knew. Which suggests the real scandal is left and right media trying to make a story out of nothing. As polling of Democrats revealed long before the debate, they wanted

If Google has a monopoly on search, then why did Jony Ive sell his business to a competitor of Google in the search space? Ive and 11/30/22 more than wreck a DOJ case that was already baseless. https://t.co/QNXxeKbmo1

Despite it being non-existent, "exorbitant privilege" as the explanation for American consumption continues to captivate economics writers. Joseph Sternberg claims “Americans have discovered we can use our reserve-currency status to feed our consumption addiction,” while Fareed

U.S. Treasuries are the most-owned income streams in the world, which means more information is built into their prices than any other income stream in the world. Despite this, endless ink was spilled last week and over the weekend to allegedly explain the jump in yields over the

Kids go to Harvard to get jobs frequently from Harvard grads. Yes, profit-motivated Harvard students hoping to work for profit-motivated Harvard grads along with CEOs who prefer Harvard grads. It all runs counter to a nitwit narrative about Harvard as indoctrination center.

In every other walk of life, we cheer the dynamism that replaces the work of the past. Imagine how brutal our existence would be if the work of today resembled that of the 20th, 19th, and 18th centuries. Yet when it comes to education, logic goes out the window. The

I don't play golf, but think it's interesting to read about. With few exceptions, including the greats at the top of Michael Arkush's list, there's nearly always an angle of promise unfulfilled. Everyone should have won more, but the list of golfers who've won even two or three

It's easy to forget that people in red states pay taxes too. They pay higher property and sales tax in return for zero income. And they can deduct those payments against federal as blue state taxpayers can. Some will say SALT shrinkage (even at $40,000) will only help the red and

With his Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions, Mark Zuckerberg did the equivalent of an NFL insider picking correctly not next year's Super Bowl winner, but the one in five years. Zuckerberg's every action signals what's true, that Meta is not a monopoly. https://t.co/3mSlL29eYC

The accepted wisdom among deficit alarmists is that the debt is an effect of Americans being undertaxed, too much government overspending, or a combination of both. Both imply rampant market stupidity, which is the point. Markets have been rejecting the conventional wisdom about

Without production there's no money. Money is the always and everywhere effect of production, not the instigator or "sugar high" that the various M2-following religions imagine. The generally very good Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post writes that falling birthrates signal

Markets are nonpartisan. They just are. Gold is similarly nonpartisan. It quite simply is. Movements up as measured in a currency signal a declining currency (rising inflation), movements down signal the opposite. This write-up asks who between Biden and Trump was better on

The route out of poverty begins with poverty. Which is why immigrants are so rich despite frequently being desperately poor. Their migration signals a rich-person mentality. The immigrant, rich person state of mind has revealed itself for as long as the U.S. has existed, and it's

Why is government always the winner when political partisans use government to "get" the other side? Conservatives desperate to nail Harvard would be wise to ask this as they cheer on President Trump's threats to strip it of non-profit status. In other words, to get back at the

In the ridiculous hatchet job books about Michael Milken from decades ago ("Den of Thieves," "Predator's Ball," and many others), Reginald F. Lewis's name kept coming up. Attempts to demonize Milken invariably revealed how the greatest wealth creator ever created it by
