Thank you to the GREAT .@jeffreytucker for so methodically exposing the endless contradictions inside the CDC as expressed through its weird #mask obsession.

Where conventional wisdom comes to die. President, Parkview Institute. Editor, RealClearMarkets. My next book, The Deficit Delusion, is out 8/19.
- For the nailbiters in #Texas fearful of the state re-opening, there's a simple answer: stay home. Don't foist your life and economy-wrecking emotions on others.
- When Politicians Panicked releases today. This is my new economics book about a tragic lapse of reason whereby easily gulled politicians chose economic desperation as a virus-mitigation strategy. Historians will marvel at their abject stupidity. amazon.com/When-Politicia…
- #SupplyChains aren't some tangible object; rather they're a miracle consequence of billions of workers entering into trillions of commercial arrangements. These were vitiated by command-n-control in 2020. No shortages, no inflation. Just central planning.
- Another #coronavirus myth once believed in haughty fashion by the hysterical and science reverent has bitten the dust. Avoiding all surface contact proved idiotic. The “doubters” had science on their side. Emotion is its own form of denial, it seems.
- .@GeorgeGilder on #coronavirus.He's describing it as a monumental miscalculation. Historians will marvel.Trump should have stuck to his guns. Sketpicism is a virtue in all things policy-related, particularly when they want to destroy liberty.
- If you're willing to situationally hand over your liberty, rest assured that the situations in which you'll unwillingly have your liberty taken from you will multiply.
- About #StockMarketCrash2020: Painful as this correction is, never forget that stock markets, like economies, gain strength from periods of weakness. During downturns, the bad are relieved of capital in favor of the good. Markets that don't correct, don't progress. #FridayThoughts
- How do you know things are fine in #Georgia since the partial end of the hideous #coronavirus lockdowns? Traditional media have ceased reporting on the Peach State.
- This will bother some, but I'd like to think I've been more than critical of Trump on policy. Simply put, he's self-made. There are many heirs, but very few who built global brands while turning hundreds of millions into at least a few billion. #Trump
- Opining from mean streets of Wesport, CT alarmist Scott Gottlieb advised collapsed Georgia against "jumping gun" to opening. Thankfully internet is forever, & will remember forever those whose hysteria so cruelly damaged the lives of others. #coronavirus
- “Lockdowns failed” is the definition of redundant. The people are the market, which means the taking of freedom will always bring on crisis.
- .@judyshel supports a gold standard not out of allegiance to gold, but because she understands money. Money is an agreement about value that enables exchange of real things. If money's not stable as a value measure, it's not money. Confirm her at #Fed. forbes.com/sites/johntamn…
- Tune in to @TuckerCarlson tonight at 8pm to hear me discuss Biden's ban on Russian oil imports! #ampFW
