🧵365 days of why free-market capitalism is the best way to let people prosper. Check back daily for a new reply for the daily reminders.👇👇👇

1/ Spring break with my kids reminded me of something policymakers forget: Policy isn’t about spreadsheets. It’s about whether families can build a life. That’s what I fought for this week—on AI, healthcare, lockdowns, and affordability. 🧵👇

1/ The numbers are in—and it’s not a flattering story. Weak jobs. Rising healthcare costs. Slowing growth. More uncertainty. That’s not bad luck. That’s policy. New episode of This Week’s Economy breaks it down 👇🧵

Nuclear energy is key to a more prosperous future.

The support for expanding LA GATOR continues to grow! I look forward to working with the legislature to expand opportunity and let families choose the school that best fits their children.

AI will help Louisiana save money: "The first and largest deployment, should the department proceed with it, would be in its call centers. Running the two centers costs over $40 million a year. Greenstein said using AI to answer calls could reduce costs by up to 25%."

3/3 The question isn’t whether we see the consequences. It’s whether leaders will change course before things get worse. 🎧 Watch/listen on YouTube, Apple, or Spotify 🔗 Show notes: vanceginn.substack.com/p/you-cant-hid… Let people prosper.

2/ Across jobs, Medicare, trade, taxes, and regulation, the pattern is clear: When government expands, distorts incentives, and adds complexity— the costs show up in the data and in your daily life. We’re seeing it happen in real time.

3/3 Freedom works. Central planning doesn’t. This isn’t theoretical—it’s personal. It’s about the life you build with your family. Read more 👇 vanceginn.substack.com/p/the-fight-th…

Control…that’s what the government wants…

2/ Here’s the reality: • 1,500+ AI bills = regulation driven by fear • Lockdowns crushed livelihoods & trust • Healthcare “reforms” add $66M in costs • Affordability is driven by bad policy Government keeps overreaching… then wonders why families struggle.

Assuming this is true, which is a big assumption because these studies are questionable given the metrics used and lack of counterfactuals, the answer is not more government or banning things but empowering parents with more information. Government could play a role through public education and other resources. Many best practices for parents and kids are now available online. Why get in the way of parenting, force a digital ID, or expand government in our lives when the problems are much deeper than smartphones, social media, AI, etc.? These are superficial things to grab hold of because they seem like the culprit and there is much negativity toward “Big Tech,” rightly or wrongly. But we can’t miss the more fundamental problems that have long existed, well before smartphones and social media. Stop legislating out of fear and blaming one thing for all problems. Both practices are bad.

As we await the verdict in Los Angeles, this just came out: My most comprehensive roundup of the evidence of harm. SEVEN independent lines of evidence, only one is correlational. With @ZachMRausch, in @HappinessRpt worldhappiness.report/ed/2026/social…

The number of nuclear reactors in the U.S. has been declining for over 30 years. And yet nuclear power still provides more of America’s electricity than wind and solar combined.

Regular unleaded gasoline is $3.57 per gallon near Austin. How about by you?

There is growing bipartisan view that price controls are a good solution. They aren’t. Here’s why..,
