Texas: Unexpected Side Effect of Traffic Safety Messages

By Walter E. Block
 
The Texas Department of Transportation has implemented a new policy, in an attempt to reduce highway fatalities (which hover just under 40,000 people slaughtered annually on a national basis). This new initiative involves posting large digital signs near the roadways depicting the exact number of Texas residents who perish on state roadways.
 
At the outset, one might be forgiven for thinking this a good idea. What better way to scare the pants off of motorists and encourage the...

Who Blew Up The Pipeline? The Plot Thickens!

Former Polish Defense Minister Radek Sikorski (husband of US neocon Anne Applebaum) publicly thanked the US government for blowing up NordStream I and II on Twitter yesterday, a move that made even his own fellow countrymen feel awkward.

Will Italy’s Election Foreshadow US Midterms?

By Ron Paul

Sunday was an historic election day for Italy. A conservative alliance with a populist flair absolutely trounced the technocrats who had been running the country into the ground for the past several years.

The previous prime minister, former Goldman Sachs banker Mario Draghi, implemented one of the most restrictive – and inhuman – Covid shutdowns, which, along with supporting economically suicidal sanctions against Russia, have left Italy an economic basket case.

Replacing the bland ban...

No Good Options For The Fed; So Audit It & Get Rid of It!

Central planning never works. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter authoritarians from trying to make it work. Central planners always corner themselves; they checkmate themselves. They reach a point where every decision is a bad one; where every move is the wrong move. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, immoral, and the primary source of economic calamity in America. It's yet another of example of central planning that must ultimately fail. Watch Here

Something Rotten In Oregon: Filling Stations

By Walter E. Block

Something is rotten in the state of Oregon. I travelled there last month. I pulled in to a filling station, intending to buy some gas. There was this guy there; he wouldn’t let me fill up my tank myself. He said there were no self-serves allowed in the entire state. He was a lot bigger than me so I didn’t protest too vociferously despite having a brown belt in karate – my wife would have smacked me if I had gotten into it with him; but I was annoyed. I’m not accustomed to a sys...
