😳 tinyurl.com/2p56v5cp@ezraklein borrows the wrong enemy in this column. A cost shoved onto the sow and hidden from the price isn't efficiency; it's a market failure. Prop 12 is arguably a move toward efficiency and not away from it.
A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa#Somalia#GianniInfantino#CAF#OmarAtan#DonaldTrump
BBC journalist to Infantino: “Are you embarrassed by what’s happening at this World Cup and have you lost control of the tournament?”

🚨 WORST @FIFAcom PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME: INFANTINO SILENT AS US HUMILIATES AFRICA
Gianni Infantino selected Omar Abdulkadir Artan — Africa's top referee and first Somali at a World Cup — then watched US authorities deny him entry at the border despite diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back like trash. No reason. No fight.
Where is your voice, Infantino?
You preach "global football" and "unity" while selling out African officials to US border politics. This isn't leadership — it's cowardice and betrayal of the game.
You are proving every day why you are the worst FIFA president in history. Africa will not forget this disgrace.
Stand up or step down.

Today federal court rightly ruled Trump's imposition of $100,000 fee on H-1B work visas is illegal usurpation of Congress' power to tax. It relied, in part, on Supreme Court ruling in tariff case (which I helped litigate) See my analysis here for more: reason.com/volokh/2026/06/08…
Who funds development RCTs? Using my new database of dev papers 2021-2025, I pulled information from funding acknowledgments. (This requires, generally, full-text, and is not feasible using metadata; thus I did not do this for non-RCTs.) #econtwitter#econsky
