Is This Becoming a General Strike?
We had better hope and pray that the anger against the government and the ruling class does not ultimately turn against the free economy itself. In order for that not to happen, the intellectual opposition to the current regime needs to get its thinking straight, give up its old habits, see the current struggle for what it is, and start celebrating the freedom of everyone.

FDA Finally Stops Amyl Nitrate “Poppers” but Still Permits Illicit Nitrous Oxide Sales
While the FDA has finally taken steps to close a regulatory loophole regarding “poppers” and amyl nitrate right before Trump’s FDA commissioner has taken office, they haven’t advanced regulatory action on illicit marketing, sales, and abuse of nitrous oxide.

A Primer on the WHO, the Treaty, and its Plans for Pandemic Preparedness
These proposed rules and structures, if adopted, would fundamentally change international public health, moving the center of gravity from common endemic diseases to relatively rare outbreaks of new pathogens, and building an industry around it that will potentially be self-perpetuating.

How Gender Ideology Breeds Toxic Law
The lesson is to privilege fact-finding and evidence over gender, put faith in a due process-centred rule of law over mob rule, reaffirm presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and promote even-handed equality through gender-neutral (and race-, religion-, and caste-neutral) laws and procedures. In other words, justice for all before social justice for favoured protected groups.
