    With all the media attention being given to NYC's new mayor Zohran Mamdani, it's easy to forget that Seattle has also elected a socialist mayor. Donald Kimball explains how Katie Wilson has the potential to be a West Coast Mamdani. Last week, YouTuber and activist Gary Stevenson, and Dr Kristian Niemietz of the Institute of Economic Affairs debated whether a wealth tax could solve Britain's economic woes. Oliver Dean says Stevenson had a prime opportunity to learn from a real economist why he's wrong on economics. Last weekend's U.S. raid on the living quarters of Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro may have tamped down fears of a larger invasion, for now. Joseph Bouchard wonders, could Maduro playing to Trump's ego help avoid war? Kratom isn't a new drug but its popularity has been growing in America.

    Some instances of media bias are easier to spot than others. Mackenzie France explains how the BBC's Israel problem has been apparent for years. It's never a good idea for the state to substitute its force for the decision-making power of the consumer. Cláudia Nunes says California's crackdown on Pharmacy Benefit Managers could raise, not lower, drug prices. Europe's Digital Markets Act is a good example of what not to do when regulating the technology sector. Jack Rowlett warns that America must avoid Europe's tech regulation disaster. Tariffs and other trade barriers can negatively impact competition and innovation while raising prices. However, as Satya Marar explains, the Trump administration's agreement with Britain's National Health Service is a rare win-win for both countries. Young-Voices

    The temptation to label political opponents as "Nazis" is too much for some to resist. Ted Newson explains why such a label is an insult to those who actually fought against totalitarianism. Nicotine pouches have become a popular alternative to cigarettes, vaping and smokeless tobacco. Bojan Lazarevski says, Europe should seek to regulate, rather than ban those pouches. Pharmacy benefits managers are catching a lot of heat these days over the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs. Sam Raus clarifies, it's really the bureaucracy that's to blame for high prices. When the U.S. government seized $15 billion in cryptocurrency back in October, it also took a big step in a dangerous direction. Tate Kaufman lays out how such a move could impact the separation of powers. Young-Voices
