John Tamny, RCM "The Oreo was my introduction to American food culture, and I loved the cookie instantly and fiercely - from the crinkling sound of the plastic packaging; to the frosting, sweeter than anything I'd ever tasted; to the impossibly dark, intricately embossed biscuits, which tasted only vaguely of chocolate." Those are the words of Tejal Rao, a food reporter for the New York Times. They're a reminder of what "America" signifies to the rest of the world. Rao's first taste of an Oreo was more than just biting into a cookie, for him it was "about consuming something American, something cool and rare... |

Andrew Wilford, RCM Few corporate activities receive more ire from the left than share repurchase programs, commonly known as stock buybacks. Senators Ron Wyden and Sherrod Brown recently attempted to capitalize on this progressive angst to fund a small part of Democrats' enormous $3.5 trillion legislative package by inserting a 2 percent excise tax on buybacks into the bill. While this will likely prove popular among the Democratic base, the dislike for buybacks is entirely unfounded. |

Vijay Jayaraj, RCM Much of the media is reporting on what may be actual anxiety over climate change after ginning up fear of a climate apocalypse with false stories and exaggerated claims. "Activists ‘born into the climate crisis' face another challenge: Fear of the future," was the headline for a Sept. 16 Washington Post article. "Young people coming of age in an era of climate disasters are trying to channel anxiety about the planet flooding and burning," according to the writer. The article is probably accurate in reporting about a fear among some young people, but rather than noting that the... |

Paul Romer, Paul Romer Suppose that a drug company is trying to get approval for a new pain medication that might have some serious negative side effects. How can the company keep regulators from finding any? Even if you have no training in statistics it is easy to understand that the sure-fire strategy is to focus attention on side effects that are rare. The smaller the number of events, the easier it is to dismiss the few that arise as chance outcomes. This same strategy for avoiding a discovery is being used now by people who want to keep us from finding that the protection from vaccines diminishes over time. |
