These kinds of stories are all the same: Car owners don't want to share public infrastructure. Signatures on petitions are collected. Raise fears that bike lane will harm "public safety." Pressure city officials to block bike lane. Too bad it often works. nwc.news/spring-valley-…
No one group owns the streets. They are an asset we all own. And it is an asset that needs to be shared.
REACTION TO A BIKE LANE FROM ONE RESIDENT: "It’s just dangerous, the city is saying the streets are underused and they are flat out wrong. And tell me, how many bikers are going to use that?"

Here is the question I have long had about the 737 Max. What kind of company would even build a plane with engines so big and far forward that by DESIGN it needs to have software to prevent a potential high-speed stall. Why even build such a plane?
I write this because for months now there is talk of a struggle for the right software fix for this plane--and the challenging of getting it approved by safety teams. Why is a software fix the solution? Is it a solution. Just wondering.
I do know the history: Boeing rushed to get 737Max in the air so it could compete against a new Airbus plane. But that is not an answer.

The Interior's Inspector General has just released an investigation it started after NYT story in March 2019 detailing the role Interior Sec. Bernhardt played in blocking the release of a report on how pesticides threaten hundreds of Endangered Species
Here is the story I wrote in March that led to the Inspector General investigation. Interior staff had concluded three widely used pesticides threatened hundreds of endangered species, ranging from the kit fox to the seaside sparrow. nytimes.com/2019/03/26/us/…
The IG report does two things: first it confirms that Bernhardt, as The NYT reported, played a central role in redirecting the years' long effort by Interior, forcing it to effectively start the effort over again with very different approach.

I'm hearing a lot of people saying things like 'just breaking up Facebook won't solve the blah blah blah.' Yes, we know. Read more than a headline. Break up and regulate. Let's have multiple car companies. Let's also have seatbelt mandates. Break up and regulate.
The point of anti-monopoly policy is to shape markets to make us free. It isn't to break up companies. It isn't to deal with 'bad people.' It's to ensure that no one can concentrate power in ways that prevent individual liberty. That means public structuring of markets.
Saying 'just breaking up Facebook won't solve the problem' doesn't reflect being clever. It reflects profound ignorance about history and policy. Virtually no one has ever suggested just breaking up companies. We've been doing anti-monopolism for hundreds of years.

Reupping this with extensive commentary in response to a former student who asked why I think this is great news. It occurs to me that this isn't obvious, so here's my attempt to explain why I think this is a step in the right direction. 1/
Incarceration should be used sparingly, and we should ensure that any loss of liberty is imposed fairly. Why? There are constitutional requirements for the fairness (as well as moral ones), incarceration is destructive and often iatrogenic, and it's resource intensive.
We should have good reasons for incarcerating people, and we should have particularly strong reasons for incarcerating some offenders and not others who have done the same thing.
