$15/hour is not "exploiting children for cheap labor."
14-year-olds are voluntarily choosing to work. $15/hour is a very good wage for a teenager. In a time of a labor shortage, especially in low-end jobs, employers will hire who is available and willing to work.
Only one team in the Big Ten played Ohio State to a one-score game this season. There's no way that team should be as low as 11th in the country.

Apparently, someone slept during the 1970s and has forgotten that price controls lead to supply shortages.
Gasoline is one of the most competitive industries in the world. If there is any industry in which there is no "price gouging," that one is it.
There would be zero discussion over where Cincinnati belongs if a replay official hadn't decided to insert himself into a game and eject

Caitlin Clark is a great player, but her antics and whining (and the fact that the officials *bail her out* so frequently) make her maybe the most unlikeable player I've ever seen.

Just because 50.1% of people vote for something doesn’t make it lawful.
There is no constitutional authority to levy a direct tax on anything but income. Unrealized capital gains are not income.
Going to just say this as nicely as I can ...
For everyone who has spent years downplaying New Palestine record because of its schedule ... they beat 6A regional champ Center Grove 28-9 & 4A regional champ Mt. Vernon 49-7 this season. It's not a weak schedule. It's a good team.
A special day. It is humbling to be honored by your peers. I’m grateful to the

for allowing me to paint the picture for our fans, and to the ISSA board for this very high honor.
I've always seen myself as a journalist/broadcaster, but my day job is a high school teacher, where I still sometimes feel like a fish out of water.
And then you get an email from a former student which says "I want to know you made a difference."
Makes it all worthwhile.
Haley Van Lith is one of the top players in the country and now is in the portal. Has an NIL deal with Adidas. Could be an intriguing target for

and could be the final piece for a team that will again be a legit B1G & NCAA title contender.

This is one reason why I teach economics. I hope students leave the course understanding utopian and emotional appeals cannot cause scarcity to go away, that trade-offs exist, and that voluntary exchange guided by markets are the only way to efficiently solve the scarcity problem
On this day 12 years ago, in a stuffy government building in China, a small, quiet, inquisitive boy was placed in our arms. My life changed forever that day, as I became a father. We’ve been blessed to be Aaron’s parents since then and see him grow into a kind and faithful teen.
For those who think the officiating was awful yesterday ... remember, this play eliminated a legit title contender (count the steps after the dribble). And it wasn't even close to the worst call of the game.
Counter redux - as previous was a screen shot ... but here, good sir, total of (5) steps with a reestablished pivot foot and official decides to swallow whistle; Miami on to S16 and Indiana home ...
'Is this a travel?' because you can't have it both ways
Now that I’ve seen the replay, it was a clear and obvious travel on the winning basket.
#IUWBB
made its own bed tonight but there were two really awful moments of officiating malpractice - that and when Berger was tackled on a breakaway layup with no whistle. Those matter.
For everyone on here from a certain fanbase who spent a lot of energy accusing
#IUWBB
of "ducking" a nationally-televised prime-time game with an opponent it beat last season, the team has arrived at its destination and will be at the arena in time for shootaround.
Fun project I worked on (with the help of
@Jason_Wille
, who sent me a copy of the 1983 IHSAA Membership History, and a few other sources). It still has some gaps, but a mostly complete map of Indiana's long-lost high schools.
In the most challenging school year we've ever worked, I found out this afternoon the NPHS Crimson Messenger newspaper has been named an IHSPA Hoosier Star finalist for the first time in several years. Excited for our talented staff to be recognized for their hard work.
18 years ago today, my best friend stood at the altar and I said “I do” to each other. It’s been a wonderful, challenging, fulfilling journey together. I look forward to each day.

People struggling with rising gas prices aren’t buying Tesla Model 3s. They’re buying used Honda Accords that used to run for $8-10K and are cheap to maintain and can run for 15-20 years. Honestly, that’s also what middle-class people who watch their finances do, too.
I’ve spent many, many happy nights in the Kelso Stadium press box over the years. Even though the result wasn’t what we wanted, tonight was the most special, as Aaron made his varsity debut four games into his freshman year. Played 20 solid minutes after going the entire JV tilt.
I know I’m biased but it’s pretty clear

’s squad was the best high school football team in Indiana this year. 14-0, state champ against a great Valpo team, beat a 6A finalist on its home field by 19 points. It’s a special team and it was fun to be along for the ride.

The cars are decentralized - all people going from their origin to their destination. The bus requires them to fit someone else's schedule and get to and from the stop. The bikes are slow and not protected from elements. The cars are still a superior mode of transport.
Not enough words to describe what it means to wear this. I have a small role - be the SID and broadcast the games. It was awesome to see the

It’s not progressives and neocons who are outraged. It’s Libertarians, including people who have been candidates and activists in the party for more than 40 years. The current messaging is embarrassing and harming serious candidates’ ability to reach voters.
Bridge out for reconstruction on U.S. 52 - the main E-W road into town. Gem Road - one of the main N-S arteries - also closed. You can't get to New Palestine from New Palestine right now.
@LPNational
Before hitting “send,” ask yourself
-Does this help our candidates get elected? (or for that matter, might it actually harm our candidates who are trying to get elected?)
-Does this advance liberty?
If the answer is “no,” it shouldn’t be sent from the national account.

Policies that redistribute wealth end up hindering productivity because they change the incentives for individuals and by replacing market prices with central planning, lose the ability to properly align the supply of goods with demand. Prices are signals.

Well, I've finally joined the club as a Libertarian who has been blocked by the Libertarian Party chair.
You'd think the communications director of the second-most successful LP Senate race in the country might have something to offer, but I guess I'm not in the right "caucus."

Your list of demands: “Give Putin everything he wants because US supports Ukraine, so Ukraine bad.”

10 cents/gallon x 15-gallon tank x one fill-up per week = $78 in savings over a year, and that’s just on gasoline. Multiply that times other goods whose movements are restricted via the Jones Act and its repeal could save a lot of families a lot of money in lower prices.
JPM says lifting the Jones Act would "only" save American drivers $0.10/gal on gas.
The USA consumes almost 135 BILLION gallons of gas/year (EIA). If everyone saved 0.10/gal (not that easy, but still), that'd "only" save us $13.5B.
Per year.
Cmon, man.
Since this has gone viral, understand I did not mean this as a commentary on the hard-working reporters and staffers in Indy, but on their parent company that has been a blight on local journalism by cutting its staffs to the bone and largely hiring young and cheap.
@MayorofLondon
Corrected: “I’m calling for a massive housing shortage and skyrocketing housing costs in London, because I don’t understand supply and demand and refuse to allow enough housing to be built to meet existing demand.”
This is how out-of-touch the anti-car movement is. Lake Shore Drive is one of the most iconic highways in the U.S., providing spectacular views, a relatively free-flowing path to the Loop and is a treasured local monument.
It's quite the opposite of a "civic embarrassment."

previously praised Chicago as the best affordable big city. But in a new clip he rightly calls out Chicago for having the worst waterfront highway in North America. DuSable Lake Shore Drive is a nationally-known civic embarrassment.

Privatize Amtrak and give RRs incentives to provide passenger service.

And to fill the hole Pastrnak leaves on L2, they replace him with *checks notes* Taylor Hall.
Obviously, this will hurt the third line a bit but this team is still really deep and has two solid scoring lines.
Every intervention in the market carries unintended consequences. The eviction moratorium has, predictably, shrunk the supply of available rental housing, which has raised rents. It also has incentivized landlords to cover themselves by requiring more money up front.

Indiana-Michigan was 92-83 last night. Iowa-Ohio State was 82-73 and featured a 29-point/10-rebound/15-assist triple-double from Caitlin Clark.
Neither game was "slow" nor "boring." Both were really, really high-level basketball.

Financial wealth often leads to better quality of life. The average middle class house in the U.S. is much larger than in Europe, most families have multiple cars (transportation freedom), access to abundant grocery items, parks, can afford entertainment, restaurants, et al.
