The consequences here are serious. Innocent people are getting caught up in a system meant to catch criminals, losing access to banking, and never being told why. cato.org/blog/how-suspi…

The banking system works best when institutions evaluate customers on objective criteria, not political pressure. Government regulators shouldn’t interfere with banks who serve lawful individuals and businesses across the economy. More from @dlibsen on avoiding a patchwork of state debanking laws:

One of the most common reasons your bank would file a suspicious activity report on you is because you deposited or withdrew nearly $10,000 in cash. That’s all it takes to get labeled as “suspicious” in an official report to the government. @EconWithNick cato.org/blog/how-suspi…

What makes an activity “suspicious”? cato.org/blog/how-suspi…

Brooklyn used to be "Crooklyn," and a 718 attached to your phone number was a sign of downward mobility. No longer. It's more and more true that visitors to New York City never set foot in Manhattan. Which is another reason for the do-somethings on the left and right to try and restrain themselves from foisting more housing policy on U.S. cities and states. In addition to high housing prices arguably telling us to not consume more housing, it's also true that nosebleed prices in the desirable areas drive improvement in locales where people don't want to be. This market signal has made Brooklyn a global lure, and it's plainly loomed large in the appearance and economic growth of states like Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Texas given their proximity to California. Not everything is a crisis, and not every crisis requires policy. Usually the opposite. Brooklyn's growing desirability explains this well. realclearmarkets.com/articles/2026/…
