The Think Report

What happens when governments try to raise people’s incomes by simply giving them more money? In this episode of The Think Report, I look at two popular policies, minimum wage increases and Universal Basic Income, and why they can fail for completely different reasons. Seattle’s minimum wage experiment found that wages rose, but hours worked fell enough that many low wage jobs actually produced le...

Hundreds of thousands of Americans and Canadians are packing up and leaving — not because of war or disaster, but because of policy. The math no longer works.

Hamas, Iran, and campus intimidation campaigns share more than ideology, they share method.

This isn't a collection of isolated incidents. It's a pattern.

Why does money printed by governments end up in the hands of the wealthy? It's not a conspiracy — it's economics. In this episode of The Think Report, we break down the Cantillon Effect: the economic principle that explains why the first receivers of new money — banks, government contractors, and asset holders — always win, while wage earners are left holding devalued dollars. We also cover why as...

The free press is supposed to hold power accountable. That’s the idea behind the fourth estate. But what happens when the system itself starts breaking? In this episode of The Think Report, we take a hard look at media bias, government funded media, and the growing influence of big tech censorship on what you see, read, and believe. From billions in public funding to the collapse of the subscripti...

Episode 43 - Are governments actually representing the people, or ignoring them completely? From rising taxes to billion-dollar fraud, to land and property rights in Canada, this video breaks down a pattern that’s getting harder to ignore, politicians making decisions that don’t reflect what most people actually want. We look at real examples across Canada and the US, including:Why taxes keep goin...

Episode 21 - What is critical race theory? Why is there so much controversy about this topic?

The transgender movement continues to put women at risk when staff in a women's shelter allow a transgender pedophile to stay there. In addition, feminists continue to double down on the war on men. The new feminist movement seems to be focused on fighting against men when the biggest threat right now is how the transgender movement is reducing the value of women to a wig and a body suit. Fina...

A lobotomy, is a form of neurosurgical treatment for psychiatric disorders that involves severing connections in the brain's prefrontal cortex. The surgery causes many of the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex, to be severed. The treatment was used mostly as a cure for depression, OCT, and schizophrenia. We now know more about these conditions and, as an example, research is startin...

Gender identity has become a massive topic over the past 10 years, maybe the biggest social topic. At one point in September even out pacing Google searches for information about the looming recession. What exactly is our obsession with transgender, why did it explode like it did, and why is it so polarising? I think it’s fair to call the transgender movement a major subculture, but I propose that...

Researchers from the University of Essex have published a controversial study suggesting men are the true victims of gender inequality – with women at an overall advantage.
