Zoning Laws are Erasing the American Dream
Zoning laws are making homeownership unaffordable. The biggest barriers to reforming land-use regulation are the vested interests preventing such reforms at a local level.

Why Patriarchy Once Made Economic Sense
The biggest myth about patriarchy is that it’s a conspiracy wherein men have banded together to exclude and hurt women. In reality, no conspiracy is necessary. It makes more sense to assume that banks didn’t give women credit cards because most women didn’t earn the money they’d need to pay off their debts than because they hated women.

Ridesharing startup Uber has run roughshod over traditional taxi businesses across the country. One San Francisco taxi company is now fighting back--in court. On Wednesday, Flywheel Taxi (formerly DeSoto Cab) sued Uber in U.S. District Court, claiming that Uber has used its billions of dollars in funding to undercut competitors with predatory pricing, losing money on every UberX and UberXL ride in San Francisco "with the expectations of reaping extraordinary future returns." "Left unchecked, Uber is likely to succeed in establishing complete domination of the market by forcing out all competitors through its predatory pricing practices," Flywheel says it its complaint.

Quit Blaming the Rich. It’s the Government Ripping Us Off.
It’s government people, not rich people, who have the power to coerce us and rip us off. They have the power to make our lives miserable if we disobey. This coercive power goes a long way toward explaining legalized political corruption.

Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Shouldn’t Be Forced to Promote Abortion
If you can’t force vegetarian restaurants to hand out coupons for local steakhouses, you certainly can’t force pro-life organizations to direct people to free or reduced-price abortions. But abortion politics always seems to distort the logic and reasoning of judges and policymakers—especially in California.

From Pajama Boy to Green Ninja, the Government’s PR Spending Operates in Dark
The U.S. government spending on public relation campaigns should raise serious questions about fiscal responsibility... and where to draw the line between appropriate communication and propaganda.

Pentagon chief draws fire over 'dangerous' plan to relax military recruiting standards
Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s new proposal to relax the military's recruiting standards for fitness and body composition is fraught with potential problems both politically and practically, observers say. Carter floated the idea during a speech in New York on Tuesday, suggesting current recruiting standards may be “overly restrictive” and result in the military rejecting people who have vital skills in foreign languages or in fields such as cyber security and intelligence analysis.

Hillary’s Dream For “Open Borders”: America’s Nightmare
Hillary Clinton believes in having “both a public and a private position” on public policy and that is readily apparent when examining her record on immigration. While publicly she claiming she would send unaccompanied minors back, Clinton privately revealed what she has never been willing to tell the American people in a closed-door paid speech to a Brazilian bank: she dreams for “a hemispheric common market with open trade and open borders.” From voting for a border wall but opposing one today, claiming to want to work with Congress, while simultaneously pledging more unconstitutional executive actions that go beyond Obama’s, Americans simply can’t trust Hillary Clinton’s track record for flip flopping on the issue of immigration.
