“We can’t pretend that government artificially forcing down the price of something won’t have major negative effects.." Hauptman continued. "Because no regulation or law passed by government repeals the laws of economics.”

Reminder that #DollyParton’s family said donations to her Imagination Library are her preferred form of remembrance. 332 million books & counting. https://t.co/bfN4riY4kl
Our team, our local program partners, and every operational partner who helps make this program possible each month are heartbroken at the loss of our founder, Dolly Parton. (cont.)
Dolly started her Imagination Library in honor of her father who couldn’t read. I am where I am today because my grandfather, who had a 4th grade education and couldn’t read, saved money to help pay for my college. East Tennesseans are built differently. 🙏
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

This Paraguay side beat Brazil and Argentina, had the best defensive record in South American qualifying, then turned up at the World Cup and got schooled by the USA.
That’s the magic of the FIFA World Cup. 🌎🏆
