🕰️ This Sunday, we change the clocks. But maybe it's not just an inconvenience, it’s a health risk.
“Our internal clocks are aligned with the sun, not social schedules,” writes Dr. Jeff Singer. Let’s pick a time and stick with it.

Twice-Yearly Time Travel Is Bad for Your Health
Sticking to one time year-round makes sense for sleep, safety, and sanity.

Washington has “showered” the US steel industry with protection from import competition for decades. Yet the industry continues to struggle, and steel prices in the US are among the world’s highest.
More protectionism will only exacerbate this long-term trend. www.cato.org/blog/folly-a...

What do pregnant women with high fevers and people with severe chronic pain have in common? Increasingly, both are being told to “tough it out.”
The Tylenol scare is built on shaky evidence, but it leaves women, like millions with pain, with nowhere to turn.

Cato filed an amicus brief in RAICES v. Noem, the case challenging Trump's Border Dictator order that purports to suspend all immigration law because it is "ineffective." Our brief describes how the government's arguments are baseless www.cato.org/legal-briefs...
RAICES v. Noem
The government’s assertions are based on either misinterpretations or tortured readings of the data, attempting to find justification for a spurious legal argument in facts that simply are not there.
