I'm happy to see that my article, "Regulating Beauty: The Licensing of Barbers and Beauticians in Alabama and the Nation," is now available at Enterprise and Society. The article will be in a later issue, but is available with open access now. https://t.co/3UQRYQhO9l

I mostly read history books for comprehensive exams this year, but these were a few of my favorite reads in 2025!

Not to complain but what’s up with people taking up the entire sidewalk and not moving so others can pass

"For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

"For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent

"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury

"For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

The abolition of slavery was the most libertarian thing that happened in US history, and it's not even really close

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

This is very scary

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is obscene.

Arkansas senators and representatives should honor their oath to uphold the Constitution and join the brave Republicans and Democrats fighting to maintain the rule of law.

We survived

The good news is that within 1 year, a large majority of Americans will acknowledge the following (which have all been true for at least ~18 months):

1. Inflation rate is falling
2. Crime is falling
3. Wages are rising faster than prices
4. Stock market is booming

Sunset reviews in #Alabama shed light on misbehavior by licensing boards.

As @EconTrudeau writes in @aldotcom, "The more licenses and licensing boards a state has, the more possibility for this type of behavior to persist." https://t.co/C5QIF2POqA
