The Myth of Non-Essential Jobs and Activities
The other day I saw a post on Instagram where a woman listed out COVID-19 era terms that she and her family were choosing not to use. As has always been the case in “unprecedented” times, a new vocabulary often emerges—heavily influenced by news pundits, government agencies, and social media. After 9/11, words and phrases […]
Why Less Government, Not More, is the Key to Recovery
Greetings from another day of lockdown! Is your state beginning to open up or make plans for opening? I read an article last night that I thought I’d mention. It’s about deregulation in the face of COVID-19 and why governments are being forced to admit that their heavy-handed policies cause harm. Most of us already […]
Things Worth Observing
Happy Monday! Let’s take a break from all the gloom and doom, shall we? One of our readers—a follower on Instagram—posted this on her page: There is a lot going on in our world right now. Our children can feel the shifts, they overhear our conversations, and now they can also see physical differences. All […]
Hiding from Hobgoblins
I shared some thoughts on my Facebook page the other day that I think are worth repeating here, so bear with me if you already saw this. 😉 Ben Franklin was spot on when he said: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” These […]
So What Should We Do?
It seems that we are all looking for answers right now. I’ve been getting emails and messages every day lately with people asking me what I think the solution is, or what I think we should be doing about the continued shutdown of our nation. Some people are calling for a march in every community […]
Update: The Anti-Education Choice Agenda is Alive and Well
Happy Wednesday! I figure we are all a little COVID-19’d out right now, so I thought I’d take a minute and remind you that while the world debates the best way to manage pandemics (by the way… have you checked out Sweden?), the pre-COVID agendas are still alive and well—and the attempts to limit our […]
It’s Time to Replace Fear with The Golden Rule
What a week. How is everyone holding up? I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind the last few days and that applies to each of us regardless of which charts or statistics or projections we choose to believe, and regardless of how the measures taken by governments—local, state, and federal—are affecting […]
The Sadly Prophetic Relevance of Our New Book
Happy Monday! I’m writing to you, once again, from my home office. I’m guessing you’re reading this, once again, from your home as well. What a time to be alive! I figure that you might be getting sick of hearing the same old voices, so I thought I’d give you a chance to hear from […]
Human Action and the Messed Up Market
It seems to be the season of Ludwig von Mises, and that’s a really great thing! In the last couple of weeks we’ve had actor Rob Schneider quoting Mises on Twitter and the Mises Institute saying, “Human Action is the book you want to read, you need to read, you’ve thought about reading. So make […]
What’s Your Real World?
Who can relate? You post something on social media or mention something to a relative or acquaintance about your belief that kids should have a lot more free time, spend a lot more time at play, or that structured compulsory education perhaps isn’t the most effective way to raise and educate children, and you get […]
