Data from 2022--which I assume is the latest available--for the % of violent crimes cleared by arrests--look really discouraging.

"The marginalization of price theory in the academy is increasingly mirrored in the conduct of public policy—and the results are dire."

If it's even half correct, it's really awful. (24.5 minute video doc.)
Even for the federal government "hundreds of billions" is kinda serious money.
Not that some Liberals will ever learn this--or care if they do know--but it happens to be true.

"'Our CPI non-discretionary basket is running a HOT 6.3% y/y,' they say, adding that inflation on discretionary items is much lower, at 0.6%."
"A little over a month ago, a scandal erupted among the (relatively small( group of economists who keep a close eye on the monthly inflation data reported by the Biden Department of Labor, when they learned that there is an even smaller, and much more exclusive group of economists called 'super users' who get preferential treatment from the BLS, including wink-wink-nudge-nudge explanations of where the data may diverge from expectations."

I'm sure the SEC would never misuse this data. (Wink, wink.)
The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) filed the suit Tuesday against the SEC claiming that the agency, through its “Consolidated Audit Trail,” or “CAT,” program, is collecting mass amounts of personally identifiable data by forcing brokers, exchanges, clearing agencies and alternative trading systems to capture and send detailed information on every investor’s trades in U.S. markets to a centralized database.
The agency is doing so, NCLA says, without authorization from Congress and in violation of the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable government search and seizure of private information.

More from the greatest of all time. Most I hadn't seen before.
Difficult to do better.
You can keep Jimi Hendrix, but I agree that other four summarized here were great.
Do tell: ". . . pop music lyrics really have been dumbed down over the last 40 years."
Sounds like a reasonable criticism to me.
And it's more than that: the current day American supermarket is an absolute marvel.
"The rate of 'mover's remorse' is statistically low."
A heck of a con I hadn't heard about before.
A few of these are kinda spooky.
NY Times, gated. But you can get access from $1/week. If I knew a high schooler considering his or her choices, it might well be worth it to buy access. (They say you can cancel "any time".)
You can rank by size, location, high earnings, low net price, academic profile, campus safety, and much more.
Denver is #1?? Also the instability between last year's ranking and this year's make me doubt. But I'll link for the heck of it.
Maybe you should be careful if you're taking Pepcid or Prilosec: a possible increased risk of dementia from using them. Also includes a link to a "simple, take-at-home cognitive test".
