I’ve had similar discussions with libertarians of all stripes over the years. Limited tort liability for firms is in essence a subsidy to firms–it artificially lowers the cost of doing business by capping the amount that will be paid to potential [...]

Blaze blows in at UAB

Magic City Art Connection–looks like a good art, music and food festival. I’ve never been, but I’m probably going to wander dwon to Linn [...]
