Thursday Links

Posted on June 29, 2023June 28, 2023 by John C. Goodman

Of the 7.5 million people who bought their first firearm during the pandemic, half were women, and nearly half were people of color.

More than $200 billion (17%) of small business Covid relief lost to fraud.

Is pickle ball too noisy?

College tuition explained: it’s price discrimination.

GOP Senators: “We were shocked to see the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announce via a tweet that the Administration has ‘taken steps for temporary importation of certain foreign-approved versions of cisplatin products’ – meaning from China – without otherwise informing American oncologists.”

    “Approximately half of all new gun owners were female (50% in 2019 and 47% in 2020 to 2021), 20% were Black (21% in 2019 and in 2020–2021), and 20% were Hispanic (20% in 2019 and 19% in 2020–2021).”

    As Frederick Douglass famously repeated for many years after the Civil War –

    The security of every American depends on the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

    True then. And apparently true now. Thanks to our governments apathy toward enforcement of our laws.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
