“Why I’ll Be on the Georgetown Campus This Fall”
Prof. John Hasnas: People who are often the age of my students have kept grocery stores open for me, cooked and delivered food to my home, worked in warehouses, loaded and driven trucks to deliver packages to me…and worked in hospitals so that I can get treatment if I get sick.

Cancel Culture Journalism

Liberal Cities, Radical Mayhem
Democratic mayors and governors seem unable to stop the destruction of their own cities.
A Vote-by-Mail Nightmare
At best, mass mail voting is a roll of the dice, calculated against the grim reality of the pandemic. If the country is lucky, the 2020 election, whoever wins, won’t be decided by a whisker. Then as the coronavirus is tamed, the temporary measures should end. For ballot security and democratic legitimacy, it’s hard to beat going to the polls on Election Day.
How to Keep Workers Off the Job
Another 2.4 million Americans filed for jobless benefits last week…The good news is that as states let businesses reopen, many of these folks should be able to get back to work.

Europe Goes Back to Work
European politicians understand their economies have been in lockdown for months already and the economic and social costs aren’t sustainable. No one thinks a big-bang reopening is feasible, but making it past the peak disaster in hospitals or avoiding excessive stress on health-care systems allows for a phased return to whatever the post-virus normal will be.
Reopening the Economy at Last
