Also, I'd suggest adding the Institute for Justice to your list of pro-freedom groups. They do amazing work: https://ij.org/

It's really too bad that there is no viable way to track/report on the number of incidents where a gun owner successfully defended themselves from assault or worse using a firearm (whether by brandishing or firing). It would be amazing to see that kind of statistic reported along side the various death statistics that are always presented in gun control arguments. A suggestion for your stat page that might be viable/possible is to show the number of licenses for concealed carry permits issued by the various states by year as well as the percent of those permit holders that were convicted of using a firearm in a crime (homicide/armed robbery/etc.) by year. It would really highlight that there are law abiding, responsible gun owners out there.

We'll see what he's able to actually do. Blowing up the central bank was good campaign rhetoric, but now he has to deal with the legislature to actually accomplish anything.

Well that's not very polite.

I did not know points 3 and 6. Wow!

Adjusting monetary policy picks winners and losers. And that's fine as long as TFP increases. TFP boosts GDP. So central planning committees can rest easy with the immorality of it all.

The Bank of International Settlements figures out what any 5th grader already knew: https://www.bis.org/publ/work1147.htm There is a 61 page PDF for this report at the link. I didn't think it was worth linking directly.

I'm guessing they will create value by bringing in the Argentine version(s) of The Bobs for firing non-essential personnel: I can tell you that all through Latin America (both Central and South), state owned oil companies are laden with folks drawing paychecks due to political connections. There is a lot of fat there.

The rotting apple.

I like freedom of choice. Ron Paul did too. That's what his Free Competition in Currencies bill was all about (though back when he was introducing it, Bitcoin/crypto wasn't really a thing yet).

The Iraq war opened a lot of eyes with regards to who the military fights for.
