2.. It is long past time to say No to any policy beyond "don't stress the hospitals." "No one signed up for living in lockdown indefinitely."
3. Once you've had your shots, live free. "Don't hold out for the [Center for Disease Control's] blessing: Get the vaccine and get back to normal."
4. No optimal tax and transfer policy survives the journey from blackboard to legislation. "Efficiency-improving market failure corrections often look like an obvious and tidy solution on paper. When it comes to implementation however, they become Public Choice quagmires."
5. No courage in higher education. "Faculty members of many universities, America’s centers for critical thinking, have overtly intimidated views contrary to their own, likely out of political reasons, leaving many afraid to speak up."
6, There is no substitute for victory. "The government has been wasting our time and money for decades, and the War on Covid is only the second most expensive war our government has waged (World War II being the third)." The Wuhan coronavirus might succumb to vaccine and mutations that make it more symbiotic with its host. Poverty remains the natural order of things.
7. Clarity on International Women's Day. "Switching to using the term “gender earnings gap” broadens the concept of earnings differentials by gender, and more accurately allows for the reality that women are usually making the same hourly (or weekly) wage as men doing the exact same job."
8. Optimism in the face of popular delusion? "First, the pandemic is real, and it calls for a real response. And second, the most important part of that response, the part that will matter when it's all over, will be the part that we did voluntarily."
