Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

Western Standard Stops Publishing Its Print Edition
This is a huge tragedy. Although I fervently disagree with so many of the Western Standard's writers who are non-libertarian social conservatives, the journal as a whole provided an important voice for the political right.

I am sure other print voices will emerge. Some thoughts:
  • If it will help, they can keep all the pay I get for blogging at their website (I receive no pay, and the website will likely continue for quite some time as a profit centre).
  • Clearly there is a market failure here. The gubmnt should subsidize the magazine to keep it going.
  • If the gubmnt really cared about jobs, it would subsidize the continued publication of The Western Standard to save their jobs.
Best regards to everyone there.
