Introducing Issues and Insights editorial blog: ( Updated )

Issues and Insights is an amazing site where the authors show the benefits of Free Markets and Capitalism on a daily basis. A sampling:


This Is No Way To Fix The Housing Shortage: 
America has a housing problem, as in not enough of it. There’s not much policymakers can do that would help other than get out of the way and let free enterprise take over. And one would think that if Republicans got behind a bill in the House, it would do just that. But instead, every GOP member of the House voted for legislation that is being considered a landmark in lawmaking, but has a nasty provision.  Read the rest here.


Humanity Has Only A Few More Months To Live
Predicting that catastrophe is just around the next corner is an old game for the global warming crowd. From Al Gore to Rep.

Instead, it might someday mark the beginning of the end of the left’s EV dreams. New EV sales in April – the second full month of the war – were down 6.2% compared with March, and down a whopping 23% from the year before, according to Cox Automotive. True, overall car sales were down last month, but just by 5.4% year over year, and 1.9% from March. In other words, people were increasingly turning to gasoline-powered cars when they bought in April. And that’s even though searches for EV cars were up. More people are searching for EVs, and fewer are buying them. That’s not exactly something you’d want to put in a promotional campaign.
