Gov. McAuliffe wants murderers to feel good about themselves again

(Paul Mirengoff) Yesterday, I wrote about Gov. Terry McAuliffe's order removing the disqualification from voting for felons who have completed their time, both in custody and on parole or probation. His order will allow more than 200,000 ex-cons in Virginia to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election. In his order, McAuliffe explained the decision in standard liberalese: the ban on felon voting "disproportionately affects racial minorities and the economically disadvantaged;"

All on-demand models are not created equally

 The end of on-demand is nigh. The media cover down rounds and startups winding down on a weekly basis, and, as funding stops, it seems as if every "Uber for X" is doomed to fail.

The Cold War Never Ended

(Steven Hayward) A lot of conservatives have expressed shock and disorientation at the revival of enthusiasm for socialism, not to mention the shattering of the consensus for free trade, low taxes, open markets, freedom of expression, and so forth. It is clear—and I wrote a long memo about this at AEI about five years ago that I cannot now find—that we all made a major mistake in the early 1990s when the

The future is the trust economy

 As we get into cars with complete strangers, sleep in the beds of people we've never met and lend money to others on the other side of the world, a powerful new currency is emerging — and it's based on trust. What's striking about the shared economy is not the technology that has made it possible, but the vast changes it has triggered in society. Read More

Sideshow Bob Predicted Virginia Democrats

(Steven Hayward) Paul is all over the transparently cynical move of Virginia Governor Terry McAwful to grant voting rights (but not gun rights) to convicted felons, which may well tip the 2016 election if it is decided by the vote of one swing state. But The Simpson's "Sideshow Bob," ironically voiced by the rare Hollywood conservative Kelsey Grammer, predicted this in a show way back in the early 1990s. Just 15 seconds

You never forget the pain, so try to avoid it

 They say once you've had frostbite, you never forget the cold. A founder who has suffered a bad board, or board member, never forgets that, either. I took my company public at age 33 with a board of four: me, someone I trusted and two people who taught me the meaning of the word acrimony. I have been obsessed ever since with helping my founders pick the right board members and avoid… Read More
