For several years, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has promoted productive reform of the Federal Aviation Administration. Undoubtedly, the United States’ aviation system needs deep, institutional overhaul. The U.S. is the last developed country in the world to have its air traffic control provided by a national aviation regulator. Domestic travel is hampered by unnecessary regulations and inefficiencies that cause delays and cancellations. Furthermore, the FAA is charged with regulating itself, raising serious conflict-of-interest concerns. We're on the verge of monumental aviation reform that could make the skies safer and make your journey faster.

Seattle's $15 Minimum Wage Experiment Does Not Bode Well for the Rest of Us
If booming, high cost-of-living Seattle had a hard time absorbing a $13 an hour minimum wage last year without experiencing negative employment effects (reduced hours, jobs and earnings for low-wage workers), it will have an even more difficult time dealing with the additional $2 an hour increase that took place on January 1 without even greater negative consequences. And if Seattle’s risky experiment with a $15 an hour minimum wage represents the “canary in the coal mine” for cities around the country that want to increase their minimum wages to $15 an hour, those cities may want to hold off for a few years to get a final count of the “dead canaries” in Seattle before proceeding.

How can we stop algorithms telling lies?
Algorithms can dictate whether you get a mortgage or how much you pay for insurance. But sometimes they’re wrong – and sometimes they are designed to deceive.

Zinke Says No Changes to Craters, Hanford Monuments
Craters of the Moon was first designated in 1924 and occupied 54,000 acres. In 2000, President Clinton expanded it more than ten-fold, to 700,000 acres. This monument in central Idaho is distinguished by its craggy basalt fields; remnants of ancient volcanic lava flows. Despite its hard and and sometimes-treacherous surfaces, ranchers have grazed the area for a century. On July 13, the Interior Department released Secretary Ryan Zinke’s report on two national monuments which had been under review as a result of President Trump’s executive order (EO) of April 26. Trump’s directive was for a review of all national monuments created since 1996 through presidential application of the Antiquities Act, leaving open the possibility that the increasingly immense and controversial designations of the last twenty years would be subject to changes. According to the Interior Department’s press release, Zinke has determined that no changes will be made to either Washington State’s Hanford Reach, or Idaho’s Craters of the Moon National Monuments.
