War on Thanksgiving, "Racial Justice," Organized Retail Crime and Inflation

December 1, 2021

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. It features Independent’s David J. Theroux (Founder and President), Dr. Williamson M. Evers (Senior Fellow), and Dr. Graham H. Walker (Executive Director), as well as occasional additional Independent Institute fellows.

In this twenty-ninth episode of Independent Outlook, David Theroux, Williamson Evers, and Graham Walker debunk anti-Thanksgiving myths and examine the absurd politics of the Omicron variant of COVID-19; Biden's mandates and economic folly; oil, energy and climate issues; inflation as a regressive tax; comparative criminal justice and bail in Kenosha and Waukesha, WI, the Asbury murder case in GA, and the Jussie Smollet racialist hoax case in Chicago; organized retail crime, "smash and grab," and shop-lifting; midterm elections with Tracey Abrams in GA and Dr. Mehmet Oz in PA; the 2022 Winter Beijing Olympics and missing Chinese tennis superstar Peng Shuai; and more.

The Independent Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan, public-policy research and educational organization that shapes ideas into profound and lasting impact through publications, conferences, and multi-media programs. Our mission is to boldly advance peaceful, prosperous, and free societies grounded in a commitment to human worth and dignity.
