Good piece. Seems like a replay of what happened in California. I lived and worked in Cali from 1996 to 2018, and it seemed that the creeping government intrusion into everything - including energy production and consumption - was enabled by a surprisingly passive voting population. Californians seem to think they will be OK no matter what the fools in Sacramento do. It's like, "whatever," no matter what happens. Is that part of what's happened in Colorado?
Along with a myriad of other needed changes to the tax code, the need to eliminate tax deductible "charitable contributions", as well as tax exempt "foundations" cries out for obvious reasons. Channeling money into politically focused entities should be without taxpayer subsidy.
Sadly fascinating. As another commenter mentioned, this is so similar to what has been happening in California...
How can we tilt the balance back to common sense living? Once they almost destroy it?
I read a comment somewhere yesterday saying that we should just leave NYC to Mamdani so people realize, face the results, and then, rebuild afterwards...
Your work is definitely helping, the more we share it, the better.
Thank you!
On a more personal note, I didn't know anything about Frédéric Bastiat, even though we share the same birthplace... One more rabbit hole to go down to and explore.
As a Colorado born person, I too have watched with horror as it has followed California into the abyss.
Great reporting.
Agreed, this is great stuff

How much 9f this was USAID funded?
