2025/01/10

Bob referees the recent debate among Trump supporters over the H-1B program, especially the remarks from Vivek Ramaswamy on American culture. Despite its official purpose, the H-1B program does in practice allow for pay below the domestic salary for a given occupation, but that by itself doesn't mean it hurts Americans.

2024/12/27

Bob reviews the classical gold standard era, including the demonetization of silver, to evaluate Michael Saylor's proposal for the US government to swap its gold reserves for Bitcoin. Bob agrees with George Selgin that the USD dollar doesn't need reserve assets because it's the global reserve currency, but Bob thinks that status will be forfeited over time, making BTC a wise purchase for the feds.
