How Rent Control Hurts Renters
In my new video, I confront socialist politician Aisha Chughtai about rent control.
“You’re not gonna get more apartments by pushing this,” I say.
Her answer is an unexpected moment that reveals so much...

Privacy: Who Needs it
Edward Snowden tries to convince me to worry more about privacy. "They're trying to shape your behavior!" he warns.
I rudely say: "Americans by and large don't care, and I mostly don't care. I figure that teenage boy across the street could be picking up the stuff I send. The cork's out of the bottle. What difference does it make?"
Snowden has good answers.

Armed Teachers
After the shooting in Uvalde, politicians predictably demand gun control.
But might trained, armed, teachers be a better solution?
(Not arming all teachers -- just those who volunteer.)
One school district in Texas tried that:

Shutting Down Progress
Despite record high gas prices, environmentalists celebrate shutting down something that could have helped, the Keystone SL pipeline.
A Classic Stossel from 2015.
America is blessed with abundant resources and cursed with boneheaded regulators.
Environmentalists collude with the EPA to block economic progress.
EPA bureaucrats thousands of miles away shut down a mine in Alaska to save fish two hundred miles downstream and fired hundreds of workers in the process.
Now, after a decade of delays, environmentalists have also shut down the Keystone SL pipeline.

Government Creates the Baby Formula Shortage

Stupid Government Rules Create a Pilot Shortage
Plan to fly this summer? Good luck!
There will be extra delays because, thanks to stupid government regulations, there’s a pilot shortage.
“The unions like it,” one pilot tells me.
I’ll show you why.

Classic Stossel: Banning the Competition
RJ Brunner started a moving company. People loved his service and his company grew…. until state regulators told him to stop.
He needed a "Certificate of Necessity and Convenience." Basically he needed to prove his business was NEEDED and wouldn't hurt existing businesses. And the existing businesses had a virtual veto over new competition.

The Real Reason for Record Gas Prices
Gas prices break records.
“The reason,” President Biden says: “Putin’s war.”
Give me a break. He can’t blame everything on Putin.
Most of the gas price increase came BEFORE the war:

The Truth About GMO's
“Natural” food activists say: Stop eating genetically-modified foods!
They're wrong. GMO foods are safe.
They don’t, as claimed, “cause cancer.” Over the last couple decades, cancer is down and lifespans are up.

Classic Stossel: Stupid in America
Exciting things are happening in education suddenly. In some places, charter schools bucked the unions, and got results. Inner-city kids do well on benchmark tests.
I report on the innovations at the Success Charter Network and Harlem Village Academy in New York, and at the American Indian Public Charter School in Oakland, California.
“Let’s destroy the system… create a system that serves kids,” says charter school director Deborah Kenny. Hurricane Katrina made that experiment possible by destroying much of New Orleans. Now 70% of New Orleans students attend charters, and they’re learning more.

Stealing Homes
Did you know you could miss one tax payment and your local government may take your home?
Tawanda Hall was slightly behind on her property taxes. She was on a payment plan, but short $900.
So the government took her whole $308,000 home.
Hall says she tried to pay, but, “They didn’t want our money… They wanted our house."
Now they’ve got it, and the town won’t give her the $286,000 difference back. That’s just wrong.

Eye Test Innovators vs Bottleneckers
Need glasses? Going to an optometrist can be a pain and waste the better part of a day.
So a company, Opternative, invented an at-home test. It's cheaper and more convenient than traditional eye tests. You just need a cell phone and a computer.
But the Bottleneckers want that banned.

Classic Stossel: Green Tyranny Propaganda
“There may be no alternative, but to cancel Christmas!” threatens Santa in a Greenpeace video on Global Warming.
Environmentalists in Hollywood tell our kids: global warming will kill you! Soon! But instead, people keep innovating and the doom… doesn't happen.
Hollywood and the media push green propaganda. Have we been “greenwashed?"

Classic Stossel: Illegal Food
Increasingly, government tells us what we can and can’t eat -- bans on trans-fat, happy meals, “raw” foods.
California officials raided a raw food club, and arrested clerks for selling unpasteurized milk.
Farmer Joel Salatin, author of “Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal,” explains why Americans DON’T have the freedom to choose the food they eat.
