Pull the Plug on Efforts to Shut Tesla Out
In the long-run, things that make life easier win, and people who try to stop those things lose. If Tesla wants to sell me a car and I want to buy a Tesla, I fail to see how that is any of the government’s business. If Tesla wants to buy a piece of land and…

Lawmakers could consider targeted strategies to incentivize the most at-risk teachers. Why are Mississippi teachers leaving their classrooms at an unprecedented rate? With one in five public school teachers in Mississippi leaving their job following the 2021-2022 school year, this question should be at the top of our minds as state lawmakers return to Jackson…

Mississippi doesn’t need “Certificate of Need” laws
Arcane laws that take away access to health care options a root cause of ongoing hospital crisis in state. If you’ve ever paid five bucks for a Coke at a theme park, you know the feeling. What begins as carefree frolic to the concession stand gives way to the unpleasant realization that you are a…
