Social Media Free Speech? Biden’s "Shrinkflation" Ploy. IVF Liberties? | Independent Outlook 59

The California Golden Fleece Award vs. the Bureaucrats!
Ever wonder why California gas prices are perpetually higher than in other states? Or why residential real estate in California is overwhelmingly more expensive than elsewhere? Or why wildfires got so out of control in recent years? Or why a visit to a California DMV office has been such an ordeal—but is maybe a bit better in recent years?
https://www.independent.org/publications/cagoldenfleece/
Let us introduce you to the Independent Institute’s California Golden Fleece Awards! Our researchers dig deep, to show how California laws and government agencies trigger a lot of these problems—and thus richly deserve the satirical Fleece awards in recognition of how California taxpayers get “fleeced.” More important, our researchers formulate solutions—which are often pretty straightforward. Spoiler alert: occasionally, the bureaucrats take our advice!

On other fronts, do we need to regulate Artificial Intelligence and how about banning TikTok? And why is Josh Hawley teaming up with Bernie Sanders to attack Citizens United?

An Evening with Tucker Carlson: America’s Elites Are on a Ship of Fools | REMASTERED
Tucker's presentation begins at 5:42.
This event was held October 16, 2018 in Alameda, CA and was hosted by the Independent Institute.
This is a remastered version of a previously posted video. Original version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbv2FQ9GVUg
Buy Tucker Carlson’s book, “Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution”
https://amzn.to/3PDQ8e3
Tucker Carlson discusses America's elites, a group whose power and wealth from government privilege have grown beyond imagination even as the rest of the country has floundered. The people who run America now barely interact with it, and in his #1 New York Times, best-selling book, "Ship of Fools," Carlson offers a blistering critique of our new overlords. Traditional liberals who worried about whales and defended free speech have been replaced by authoritarians who hide their hard-edged agenda behind identity politics. They’ll fleece you while lecturing you about bathrooms, plastic straws, and safe spaces.
“Left and right,” Carlson says, “are no longer meaningful categories in America. The rift is between those who benefit from the status quo, and those who don’t.” Our leaders are fools, Carlson concludes, “unaware that they are captains of a sinking ship.” At this event, and in his signature fearless and witty style, he addresses the all-important question: How do we put the country back on course?

Biden Administration Pressured Tech Companies to Violate Free Speech, D.C. Budget Showdown | Independent Outlook 56
When the feds lean on social media firms to take down alleged misinformation, it turns out that’s government censorship—according to the Federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling is worth celebrating, but there are cautionary side issues. Also, it looks like we’re heading into another round of debt ceiling crisis. Some say the President is constitutionally obliged to ignore any limits and spend more than the government takes in. Hmmm. We discuss these issues, and more, in this episode of Independent Outlook.
Independent Outlook is the regular round-table conversation from the Independent Institute that provides timely insights and cutting-edge commentary on the most pressing issues of the day.

Is Social Justice Just?
What is social justice?
Beginning with the first political philosophers in ancient Athens, and continuing right through Marx into our post-modern era, man has wrestled with the question of justice; and the answers have been as earnest as they have been varied.
Today, our "expert" class also claim to have answers—updated answers, more "equitable" answers, more technological answers ... in short, answers that are simply better suited to our times.
But are those answers in any way correct? Do they work? Are they—just?
Armed with ample evidence from real-world experiences, lessons from history, the wisdom of the classics, modern philosophers and economists, and even the teachings of the world religions, the contributors of Is Social Justice Just? illuminate the central role of the individual in achieving justice in all its aspects.
With a foreword by Jordan B. Peterson, a preface by Nicholas Rescher, and a collection of essays by some of the best and brightest scholars of our time, Is Social Justice Just? is a timely and urgent work.
Read it, and you will begin to think about "social justice," and justice, in some surprising new ways.
