Many reports and opinions once labelled “misinformation” turned out to be true. ————In recent years, people in government and big media suddenly decided it was their job to stop “misinformation." Facebook banned posts that claimed Covid leaked from a lab. Now experts say the lab leak theory is probably right. Senator Rand Paul was suspended from YouTube for saying, “masks don't work very well, particularly the cloth masks.” What he said is absolutely true. Twitter prevented the NY Post’s reporting about Hunter Biden’s laptop from being shared. The story was accurate. It’s bad thing when media censors people. It’s worse when government polices speech. Twitter’s recently released internal files show government tried to control what you read.

The news is ugly. Big government keeps growing. The Federal government alone, now spends $19,434 per American. When I did this video 12 years ago, it was ONLY $10,000. Back then two visions were at war for the future of America: On the left, the progressives, on the right, the conservatives. They clashed about the healthcare bill, Wall Street reform, and the stimulus packages. But the fight really boiled down to one key question: Do we need MORE or LESS government? A Classic Stossel from 2010.

I dodged Covid for three years. Then I caught it.

Want to start a business? Imagine having to get your competitors’ permission first. In 35 states, laws block certainties of new businesses from operating unless they get their competitor’s permission. They are called Certificate of Need laws, also called “CON” laws. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— One such law prevents Phillip Truesdell from operating ambulances in Kentucky. The Pacific Legal Foundation, (pacificlegal.org) has filed a lawsuit on his behalf, with the goal of getting the CON law declared unconstitutional. His lawyer Anastasia Boden, says we need competition, “because competition has been the driving force of innovation, lower prices and better services.” I agrees, “competition works! CON laws are a bad deal for both consumers and entrepreneurs. No one should have to ask permission to compete.

All big companies now require "DEI" training for employees, but studies say that often BACKFIRES. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— One study looked at 800 companies, and found that after companies did trainings, they actually came to have FEWER black managers. How is that possible? Erec Smith, a former DEI trainer, now a Professor of Rhetoric at York College, tells me: "It seems to be making people less likely to interact with people who are unlike them ... because it's like a minefield now." He explains that the trainings can make people so afraid of saying something wrong, that people just avoid each other. “If you ask somebody what they do for a living, somehow that's racist, right? If you learn that, then why would you take a chance?" That's the just the tip of the iceberg, regarding DEI's problems. You can watch the video above for more strange ideas that come from it, like “try to be less white" and the idea that some kids don't need to learn standard English.

Private air traffic control would be faster, cheaper and maybe safer. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— In America, air traffic control is run by the federal government. Since government doesn’t do anything well, our flight control technology is lousy. Earlier this year, a government computer failure grounded flights nationwide. For decades, the FAA has promised to modernize the system. But it never happens. Government at work. Private air traffic control works well in other countries. Why can’t we have it here?

Today, most students are taught that capitalism is a problem. These students know capitalism makes life better. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— They learned free market ideas from Stossel in the Classroom (SITC.org), my non-profit that gives teachers videos to play in class. Each year we hold a contest. We invite students to submit written or video essays. The best ones win $2,500. “Individual liberty is crucial for people and communities to flourish,” says Concordia University’s Ian Hunter. He won our college video contest. These students know more than most American politicians.
