Are the Uber and Lyft Bubbles about to Burst?

By James P. Sutton

One of my favorite things to ask rideshare drivers is whether and how they calculate their earnings: Do they keep track of hourly wages, how important are incentive bonuses, how do they maximize fuel efficiency and minimize expensive wear on their car, etc. The answers vary wildly, as do the reasons that people ...

Acosta’s Sweetheart Deal Likely to Foreclose Epstein’s SDNY Prosecution

By Andrew C. McCarthy

Alex Acosta did a bad job on the Jeffrey Epstein case. This column was nearly finished when news broke Friday that he would resign as labor secretary. I was going to argue that his lapses did not justify joining the nakedly political mau-mauing by Democrats who have no interest in exploring the behavior of ... Read More

The final polls in Pennsylvania in 2016 put Hillary Clinton tied ... Read More

How Seinfeld Mastered the Comedy Domain

By Kyle Smith

I can’t say whether Larry Charles, Larry David, Alec Berg, Spike Feresten, and the rest of the brilliant writers of Seinfeld were students of F. Scott Fitzgerald, but they might as well have been.
