Tuesday Links

Posted on March 7, 2023March 7, 2023 by John C. Goodman

Does lead in the air affect learning in school?

Stephen Pinker: The development of artificial general intelligence is incoherent and not achievable.

Increased access to physicians results in better health – at least in Nigeria.

If the estimates from Statista Consumer Marketing Research are accurate, from 2020 to 2022 the world bought 928 billion masks at a cost of $389 billion — most of them made of plastic. I wonder how much of the plastic ended up in the ocean?

Oops. The Inflation Reduction Act will increase taxes on millions of Americans earning less than $400,000, despite the president’s repeated promises not to do that. And that’s only for starters.

    The complaints about IRS funding are a little threadbare.

    The 87,000 new employees are not all agents by any means, and they would largely be replacing employees who retire.

    The new funding is also for computer upgrades. One of the first proposed projects is a callback service. The IRS also has some departments where tax returns have to be retyped by employees because of limited scanning systems.

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,
