Why has the cost of a college degree risen at nearly THREE times the rate of almost everything else you buy?

People love to blame "corporate greed," but most universities are non-profits or public institutions, and the vast majority of student loans come directly from the federal government—not private corporations.

Guest host @MightyHeaton breaks down how decades of government efforts to make college "affordable" have actually backfired.

“Protection may slow down the rate of decline of employment in a declining industry but creates many fewer jobs than expected in the protected industry and results in more job losses elsewhere.”

"If a regulator struggles to decide whether a live transmission on YouTube should be considered “television,” the real problem may not be the platform, but the rules and the state’s insistence on continuing to apply them.

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Brazilian company LiveMode broadcasted 34 matches for free on YouTube, including every game played by the Portuguese national team, using an advertising and sponsorship-funded model. The initiative drew strong audiences. Yet the company found itself caught in regulatory bureaucracy."

“Fundamentally, in a system where the knowledge of the relevant facts is dispersed among many people, prices can act to coördinate the separate actions of different people in the same way as subjective values help the individual to coördinate the parts of his plan.”

If they cannot do so, the presumption should favor the freedom to experiment rather than the automatic expansion of regulatory power.

A university that only teaches one side isn't educating, it’s reinforcing a worldview. Patrick McIlheran makes the case for breaking the academic echo chamber.

Even Spider-Man couldn’t escape the housing affordability crisis.

Peter Parker has spent decades struggling with rent, eviction, and the rising cost of living. What happens when the city you’re trying to save becomes too expensive to live in?
