Should the actions of a handful of criminals be used as an excuse to take away the rights of millions of innocent people?

It would be nearly 20 more years before Dr. Jonas Salk developed t ..read more

In this regard, there is no more powerful tell than the round trip of the PCE deflator for durable goods during the past 28 years. As shown in the chart below, prices for durable goods, which are now mostly manufactured abroad, plunged continuously and by a staggering 40% between early 1995 and the Covid-Lockdown bottom in Q2 2020. There is no broad-scale deflationary gale quite like it in all of recorded his ..read more

Recent revelations have shown that YouTube does not want anyone to know the truth about Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas mass murderer. Considering that he’s been out of the news cycle for so long, briefly reappearing after a bogus statement by the FBI, one has to wonder why YouTube is going to such pains to keep the conversation under control. Mises Caucus took to Twitter to expose the shenanigans: Below are a few leaked pages of the YouTube “controversial twiddler” blacklist. This is a list of topics which, instead of returning related results, will show the user a curated set of topics simil ..read more
