“You will own NOTHING, and be HAPPY,” says the World Economic Forum in a video posted to Facebook. They say you’ll eat meat only as an “occasional treat.” Stossel TV Fellow and @HeartlandInst researcher @LinneaLueken explains why the WEF’s anti-meat stance is bunk.

The Human Rights Campaign! Sounds great. I support human rights. But @robbystarbuck says the HRC “has nothing to do with actual human rights.” They push "transgenderism into the workplace and support sex changes for kids.” And big companies subscribe:

A quarter of the price of a new home is due to regulations and permits. The process is “so convoluted,” explains economist @sslivinski, “It can take ... years to get simple permits.” That means fewer homes get built, and prices rise. Politicians should focus on that:

Today @realDonaldTrump waived the "Jones Act” because the war increased the price of oil. The Jones Act raises all sorts of prices by giving U.S. shipping companies special treatment. But it shouldn’t be waived for 60 days. Here’s why it should be killed for good.

When Covid hit, breweries weren't allowed to make hand sanitizer. Alcohol deliveries weren't allowed. Nurses couldn’t help people in other states. Fortunately, people broke the rules. "Because people evaded the system... the system changed,” @Mercatus’s @AdamThierer says.

@Moejor2 @HeartlandInst @LinneaLueken I like to report on things I know about… things I can research… I know little about international affairs, and war.. I'm not even a position where I can go and see for myself. We have enough "reporters" talking about things they know little about.

@JohnStossel @HeartlandInst @LinneaLueken When you gonna talk about the war ? Where are spending way more money on it than any topic you brought.

A police department agreed to pay $3M after black applicants did worse on their hiring test. “This is ridiculous!” says @HMDatMI. Then why did they settle? Because of a woke idea that’s rewritten America’s standards:

Do you eat steak? You’re killing the planet! So say climate activists. Silly media agree: Vox warns that beef is the “worst thing we eat when it comes to global warming.” johnstossel.com/evil-meat-clim…

Give up meat to save the planet? Vegan activist Sailesh Rao says animal agriculture “has caused half of the warming we are experiencing.” Really? Scientist @GWrightstone of @CO2Coalition says that's "nonsense.” What’s true? Stossel TV Fellow @LinneaLueken investigates:

I’m annoyed that NYT's hacks, writing an obit for doomsayer Paul Ehrlich, say his predictions about mass starvation were "premature." No, They were just WRONG. Today, there are billions MORE people and LESS starvation. But media love doom, and Ehrlich’s predictions:

Some Americans romanticize socialism. But @GloriaAlvarez85, who grew up in Guatemala, interviewed people who fled Cuba and Venezuela. What they experienced was awful:

6 years ago today, government announced “15 days to slow the spread.” Most politicians didn’t do much good in the following years… some revealed their rank hypocrisy:

The Oscars are tonight. I haven’t watched the orgy of celebrity worship for years, but now there’s another reason not to watch. @EricDJuly points out that Award shows have become political, race-obsessed ceremonies that "shouldn't even be seen as legitimate."

Ancient Rome had a problem that modern societies have: inflation! We should learn from history and NOT do what Roman emperors did. They "blamed greedy businessmen,” explains @johanknorberg, “imposed price controls ... and undermined the Roman Empire completely.”

"It's frankly a slap in the face," says a victim of the CA wildfires. Survivors must still pay property tax on empty lots, while waiting for permits to rebuild. Here’s why:

.@Rhetors_of_York is a black Professor of Rhetoric. Because he wants black students taught standard English— HE is accused of being racist. "Has academia gone insane?” I ask. “Yes,” he says. “It has gone insane.” Here is our FULL interview:

“If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules ... that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago and a racist today,” says Thomas Sowell. Here’s why I admire him:
