Milton Friedman makes the argument in 1979 that govt at all levels (local, state and fed) was too big, eating up 40+% of folks’ income and serving special interests. The argument still stands as FL considers cutting property taxes this November.
In 1979 a talk show host tried to corner a Nobel economist on live television about greed. Two minutes later the professor had taken him apart so cleanly that the clip is still passed around 45 years after it aired.
His name was Milton Friedman. He won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1976 and spent decades at the University of Chicago shaping how governments around the world think about money.
The host leaned in with the question everyone thinks is a trap. Isn't capitalism just built on greed. Friedman did not flinch. He asked one question back that flipped the whole room. Tell me, is there some society you know that does not run on greed.
His point was simple and it stings. There is no system run by angels. The question is never whether people chase their own interest. They always will. The only question is whether the rules push that self interest into building things other people actually want.
The footage is grainy. The suit is from another era. The argument has not aged a day.
Charlie Kirk on how he wanted to be remembered.
Question: “How would you wanna be remembered?”
Charlie: “I wanna be remembered for courage for my faith. That that would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith in my life.”

The CDC recommends THREE Pfizer Covid shots for babies by age 9 months. These shots are unsafe and ineffective, especially over the long term. And babies are at near-zero risk from Covid. So whose benefit is the CDC serving here?

An absolute travesty at the Olympics.
Angela Carini is forced to box against a biological male. She quits after just 45 seconds, and cries hysterically as her opponent is declared the winner.
Don't look away. This is wokeness.

Absolutely true that unrelenting contempt is the death knell for relationships. So again, Biblical truth is upheld by scientific observation: husbands love your wife like Christ loved the church (unto death) and wives honor and prefer your husbands. https://t.co/45R404wBue
