Networks free of the heavy-handed net-neutrality rules have consistently outperformed their counterparts. If the FCC truly wants to prioritize a better and more accessible internet, it should reject net neutrality altogether. | @KimballDonald trib.al/giw3Sh6
Today, the FCC is going to claim vast regulatory power over the internet. This is not great. Good piece of commentary from @join_yv’s @KimballDonald in @NRO!

Union actions closed Port Angeles schools. Liv Finne @WAPolicyCenter notes illegal strikes. tinyurl.com/3zda8snc #opinion #columns #commentary #WashingtonPolicyCenter #illegalstrike #publicschools #PortAngelesSchoolDistrict #WashingtonState
🚨"Strikes by public employees are illegal" in Washington State, yet "public schools in Port Angeles were closed for an entire week...The union shut the schools to gain leverage in ongoing contract negotiations...average teacher pay in Port Angeles is $92,600 plus $30,000 in…
Illegal school strikes are the direct result of the union trying to gain leverage in money talks. Students and families pay the prices. washingtonpolicy.org/publications/d…
The FCC is set to vote on the return of net neutrality tomorrow. Based on the data we have, Donald Kimball's piece in National Review argues we shouldn't be excited about its reinstatement. washingtonpolicy.org/publications/d…
Did you catch Todd Myers' update on Earth Day yesterday? washingtonpolicy.org/publications/d…
There are solutions for the environment that actually work, oftentimes our identities can get in the way.
Opinion: Is government-run environmentalism failing? Todd Myers from @WAPolicyCenter argues much of what we hear on #EarthDay and year-round about the environment is mere puffery. tinyurl.com/yrdrrmd8 #opinion #theenvironment #CO2emissions #WashingtonState #ClarkCountyWa
.@WAPolicyGreen will also be live on NewsNation around 4:15pm today talking about what we both should and should not do to help the environment! Make sure to tune in!

Nice video by Todd Myers (@WAPolicyGreen). Capitalism with private property rights and markets benefits people, the environment, and even honeybees!
As we approach Earth Day, @WAPolicyGreen shares some good news regarding honeybees.
My dad, Attallah Amash, was born on this day in 1940. What a life he’s lived. In 1948, Israeli forces expelled him and his extended family from their homes in Ramle and Lod. He was shot at, but he wasn’t afraid. “At that age, you don’t think of dying,” he once told me. He had…
There is a strong stewardship ethic on the right – farmers, ranchers, fishers, hunters. And market-driven innovation is the most powerful tool to reduce waste. The combination of a stewardship ethic and innovation offers the best hope for environmental solutions. 2/x
Two great examples: 1. When the government-planned energy system in California faced blackouts, they turned to residents for help by simply texting them. Where planning had failed, the people succeeded – reducing energy use, avoiding blackouts, and even saving money. 3/x
2. In developing countries, a large amount of plastic washes into the ocean. Government solutions aren’t an option. Plastic Bank decided to pay people to collect plastic before it washed into the water, recycling what they collect. Is it big enough to make a difference? 4/x
Yes! They’ve prevented more than a quarter-of-a-billion pounds of plastic from reaching the ocean. And you can contribute to their efforts simply by purchasing Windex with this sticker at the store. The power of markets at work to fight a huge environmental problem. 5/x
It is time to replace 1970s environmentalism with a stewardship ethic for the 21st century. A spirt that combines care of the land and innovation to reduce pollution, preserve wildlife, and leave the environment better for future generations. 6/6

Washington state is looking to join California’s CO2 cap-and-trade system. California admits the purpose of their tax on CO2 is to raise the price of gas. Only in Washington do politicians and agency staff dishonestly pretend that isn’t the goal. #waleg
Happy #NationalBirdDay2024. This drawing of cedar waxwings - my favorite - is from a book of drawings from my great grandfather. I look forward to seeing them every year.
Asked why his estimate of the impact of his CO2 tax on gas prices was wrong, @GovInslee compared it to predicting football scores. Those who claim they are following "the science" admit their guesses are no better than sports prognostications. tvw.org/watch/?clientI… #waleg
The running list of people who told @GovInslee and/or his administration that the Carbon tax would increase gas prices. -His own chief policy advisor -A far-left environmental group -A WSDOT economist Are all of them wrong, or is @GovInslee just not willing to own it?
Despite claiming his tax on CO2 would cost “pennies,” documents show @GovInslee has long known a CO2 tax would significantly increase gas prices. A 2014 study from Inslee’s office predicted that gas prices would increase 44 cents per gallon. - washingtonpolicy.org/publications/d… 1/x #waleg
