If you need a clear illustration of how politics and big business have entered an unholy alliance, look no further than GoFundMe. As Monica Showalter explains, last week, the crowdfunding giant seized nearly $10 million in donations to the Canadian truckers in an effort to put a damper on the protests.
Why is GoFundMe's robbery of the truckers so dangerous? Ezra Levant says it's further evidence that cancel culture and censorship are being carried out by the private sector at politicians' behest.
When someone is seeking to stifle conversation, it's seldom about protecting you from "misinformation" or harmful opinions. Brandon Smith says leftists use mass censorship because they can't risk engaging in fair debate.

It takes courage to not just complain about how the cost of everything is going up but instead to learn why those costs keep climbing. Brian McGlinchey has a great explanation of how inflation is a stealth tax with no maximum rate. He's a far more trustworthy source than pandering politicians.

It didn't take long for the powers that be in Canada to try to equate the snowballing trucker protest against vax mandates with a racist 1/6 kind of uprising. The key word here is "try." As Bradley C.S. Watson explains, the tactic is falling flat and the resistance appears poised to keep on truckin'.
Economics can be boring until you see an example of how it applies in your life. You know, like if you eat food, for instance. Caitlin Gilligan has an eye-opening essay regarding the dark truth about America's agricultural system and how it's no longer a free market.

A difficult, albeit necessary, skill to master is the ability to keep things in perspective. For instance, how many of us labor under the impression that we are the only ones who ever empty the trash or load the dishwasher.
