Alberto Mingardi, Econlib - 14 hours ago
Our Covid19 predicament has been compared to many historical episodes: some consider it on the same order as a war, others a crisis of the magnitude of the Great Depression. I think these comparisons are fitting in the sense that the lasting legacy of Covid19 has been the dominant narrative that will emerge, once the […] The post Communities in the pandemic appeared first on Econlib.

A Criminal Then And Now
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 13 hours ago
Yesterday, Donald Trump pardoned Mike Flynn. During Robert Mueller's inquiry and Trump's impeachment, Trump signaled to his associates that, if they refused to cooperate, he'd take care of them. Trump got William Barr to take care of Roger Stone. Now Trump has taken care of Mike Flynn. Flynn's pardon is only the first of several pardons which Trump will issue before he leaves office. His last act may be to pardon himself -- which would be a violation of the core legal principle that a man cannot be a judge in his own case. But principle has never guided Trump's decisions. He has a...
