I built a 40-year empire, then my industry died. Here’s how I’m starting over at 60

What happens when you are 50, 60, or 70 years old and the career you spent a lifetime building suddenly disappears?  Maybe your company downsizes. Maybe technology makes your job obsolete. Artificial intelligence may change your profession. Or, as happened to me and thousands of others, a pandemic comes along and turns a successful business […]

Germany thinks the rich are greedy. Vietnam thinks they’re visionaries. Guess who’s winning?

Economists know how important psychological factors are in the economy, yet they have paid little attention to the effects of a social climate in which rich people are seen either as role models or as scapegoats. Is there a connection between attitudes toward the rich and a country’s economic success? A comparison of 12 countries […]

State tests are a Trojan horse designed to kill school choice

In Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and beyond, opponents of school choice have sought to force public school tests on private schools participating in school choice programs. While they’ve been thwarted for now, proponents of education choice should remain ready to defend assessment choice. It’s what lets a school’s own academic standard, not a borrowed one, be […]

The deadliest threat to American healthcare isn’t disease — it’s dinner

People are increasingly concerned about healthcare these days, yet most overlook daily nutrition, a critical component of health and wellness.

AI didn’t almost trigger a war with China. The Pentagon’s blind faith in it did

CNN reported that an analyst with a military special operations command […]

Justice overdue: An American hero was murdered on Oct. 7. Israel just hunted down his killer

As we approach the third anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, an Israeli military announcement has brought a measure of justice to an American family whose son was killed that morning. For Orna and Ronen Neutra, news that Israel killed a Hamas commander involved in abducting their son, Omer, and members of his tank crew, is […]

I’m a judge. Big tech just turned public truth into a subscription service

Across the country, local county courts face high storage costs and aging systems. To solve this, many local governments are moving their records to private, out-of-state cloud networks. The North Carolina Judicial Branch recently shifted its entire statewide court system to the cloud. While this is sold to taxpayers as a simple efficiency upgrade, it […]

Politicians love talking ‘affordability’ — unless you’re disabled

September marks Deaf Awareness Month — and the final two-month sprint toward the 2026 midterm elections. Politicians should connect the two. In most campaigns, they could not be further apart. Affordability is now the magic ticket in American politics. Candidates promise cheaper housing, healthcare, groceries, childcare, and energy. Listen long enough, however, and one group […]

To be or not to be? Abortion and the question of moral ambiguity

The question asked isn’t just about a possible end to a life, but whether or not life is worth continuing. Hamlet, in the soliloquy, wrestles with the question of existence and uncertainty. Which is something we all must do. Which naturally brings us to baseball. The familiar phrase “the tie goes to the runner” has […]

Insurers want you to hate drugmakers so you won’t notice who’s actually robbing you

American voters — and their elected leaders — are fed up with the cost of prescription drugs. And they’re looking for someone to blame. That blame ought to fall squarely on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and insurers, which are siphoning off a growing share of total drug spending. Inflation-adjusted net drug prices — the average […]

The value of your college degree is collapsing before your eyes

Now that a significant portion of America’s high school graduates are enrolled in college for the first time, it may be worth reviewing whether that’s a good thing.
