Endangered Species Act under fire in our view
The piece argues the 1973 Endangered Species Act endangers private property and stifles growth. It claims federal designation of critical habitats drives development costs, threatens land value, and punishes landowners for incidental habitat impacts. Proposes private-conservation incentives like easements and set-asides over regulatory takings.

Wealth and culture shape disaster outcomes and progress
Thomas Sowell argues wealth determines death tolls in earthquakes and hurricanes, with richer nations faring far better due to housing, transport, medicine, and warning systems. He contrasts Iran and California devastations, links poverty to risk, and criticizes cultural dogma while defending two-parent families and measured cultural contributions. Sowell cites U S and global examples to support that wealth and institutions save lives and reduce poverty.
