In July of last year, CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden called Puerto Rico’s Zika epidemic “*horrifying*.” He warned it could *sicken 10,000 pregnant Puerto Rican women* in 2016 alone, causing catastrophic birth defects in hundreds of babies. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. How could CDC have gotten it so wrong? And what happened to the monty that we threw into that rat-hole in Puerto Rico? On... more »

What Is Donald Trump’s Position?

Elected for his promises to change the paradigm, President Trump continues to astonish all those who take him for an idiot.

From a young age, children have a nuanced understanding of how free markets work. A new study in *Child Development* indicates that children as young as five incorporate market concerns—the idea that what you get is in line with what you give or offer—into their decision making, and increasingly do so with age. Some people think children are innately selfish, they want to get goodies for themselves, while others insist they are more communist, each will do more to help those who can't or won't do enough.
