The model is working in San Antonio, TX, where homelessness has decreased in the last 10 years.

Sr. Fellow Lawrence McQuillan, author of the California Golden Fleece® Award “California Wildfires: Key Recommendations to Prevent Future Disasters” appears on the Andy Caldwell show to discuss ways that California can manage forests to prevent large wildfires. Recent fires could have been prevented by reducing fuels and thinning the forest, but the federal government, the owners of the forest, delayed the plan. Local land owners and communities are better incentivized to manage forests, McQuillan says, which would reduce the ocurance of megafires in California.

Is President Biden’s massive student loan forgiveness really wise? Then looking at the K-12 world, teacher unions pushed hard to keep the schools closed as long as possible, but at what cost to students? We now have hard evidence that keeping kids out of the classroom tanked their test scores. Also, university history professors are going all in on wokeness. Finally, after the death of Mikhail Gorbachev, how should we assess his legacy?
