Saving California, PRI's new book, is focused on policy changes that could help restore some of California's lost luster - regardless of what politician runs our massive state government apparatus. The authors are all current or former Californians, people with deep expertise in their respective policy areas. Although their chapters include a fair share of criticism of current policy directions - how could they not? - they each propose real-world policy changes that could push the state onto a better track.

But Microsoft is dodging Big Tech scrutiny. They have been largely absent from most antitrust hearings.

Right By the Bay | Rowena Itchon
September 27, 2021
"To be sure, leaving the workforce early because one has worked hard to be financially secure should be commended. But in looking at his list, it’s clear to see how bad public policy has had a hand in increasing the numbers of America’s non-working men."
