This has been stuck in my brain since I read it. We know that price controls are terrible. But why? Because shortages become the default state, not something that might occur. They are rational outcomes. economicforces.xyz/p/price-contro… (Great piece, @BrianCAlbrecht)

I always come back to Steve Job’s on design philosophy: start with the human experience—in the built environment “how we want to live”—and then back into the hardware (and the rules, regs and incentives).

"We build our American cities around fire trucks… …We should design our cities, then make the fire trucks fit." In America, we have the largest fire trucks in the world— and they’re quietly shaping how our cities look, feel, and function. In this clip with @AustinTunnell , we break down how one overlooked policy is leading to worse urban design.

NEW from me: The 2026 version of my chart book. It is 132 pages of charts that defy liberal & conservative conventional wisdom about spending, taxes, deficits, debt, and even presidential fiscal performance. A full career of federal budget expertise in picture form. 🧵

Yes, capping Social Security benefits at $100k for a couple is a no-brainer. The program is headed to insolvency and, no, eliminating the tax wage cap is not close to enough. An easy place to start is capping the maximum benefit that dwarfs even Europe and Canada.

sfo utilizes private contractors & it’s an absolute breeze relative to every single other airport right now. it’s not susceptible to govt shutdowns or these ridiculous messes that happen so frequently now that impact normal ppl’s everyday lives. i mean the global entry guy even said welcome back mr signull with a huge smile on his face. so why aren’t we privatizing tsa with some good guidelines?

Very useful comparison by @JeffLHoopes of the @HooverInst California wealth tax revenue estimates with those of proponents Galle et al.
Jeff Hoopes@JeffLHoopes

@davidsgamage encouraged me to closely read how @joshrauh came up with his revenue score and compare it to his. I had. But, took a closer look, and I wrote a brief comparison for everyone else.

Vibe coding is so addictive. You open your laptop “just to fix this one bug” at 5pm and suddenly it’s 2:30am.

California's billionaire tax proposal has not survived "first contact" with billionaires. - It's a money loser for the state - It is exporting wealth and jobs, not improving inequality or opportunity - It worsens CA's structural fiscal problems My debate with the architects👇
Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research@SIEPR

This just in: Our recent @SIEPR Economic Summit featured a spirited debate over the proposed Calif. "billionaire tax" b/w 2 experts who know the pros/cons better than anyone: @joshrauh of @StanfordGSB and UCB's Emmanuel Saez. You don't want to miss this: video👇 #billionairetax

I just linked to this, but man is it worth reading in full. Don't use price controls! Targeted, direct subsidies if you want to help people. (And mandates and rules constitute implicit price contorls.) Baby Chicks, Gas Lines, and the War on Prices truthonthemarket.com/2026/02/12/bab…
