Green governments are cracking down on chemical fertilizer. The result? Hunger. -------- Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV. Sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe -------- In Sri Lanka people rioted when the country slipped into extreme poverty. Why did it happen? Here’s one big reason: the government banned chemical fertilizer. Environmental activists say nitrogen fertilizers shouldn’t be used, and Sri Lanka’s president listened. As a result, farms produced much less food, and food prices have risen 80%. Have the “green” activists learned from this? No. They continue to push for a chemical free world. “It’s out of control” says environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, “completely unnecessary.” In the video above, he explains how this green dogma would lead to mass starvation.

Government Corrupts Science With Progressive Nonsense
Fewer Americans "trust the science." There are good reasons for that. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— People in government now use your money to promote left-wing advocacy, disguised as science. The problem goes all the way to the White House. The co-head of President Biden’s “Scientific Integrity Task Force,” Jane Lubchenco, just got caught abusing science. Yet she still has her job. Don’t White House officials care about scientific integrity? “They could not care less,” says science writer Andrew Follett. "Her job from their perspective is to generate papers that rationalize and justify the regulations they want to impose.” Today’s bad government science goes well beyond the White House. Your tax money is used for gibberish. That’s how people like comedian Steven Crowder are able to hoax so-called “experts” in absurd ways.

Volunteers Save Lives in Ukraine
Volunteers risk their lives in Ukraine. Who are they? What do they accomplish? Stossel TV executive producer Maxim Lott went to Ukraine to find out. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The volunteers in Ukraine come from all over the world. For example, Norwegian ambulance driver Didrik Gunnestad drives in supplies, and transports patients away from the front lines. His ambulance was shot at, but no one was hurt. Gunnestad funds his risky volunteering at this GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ukrainewea... Lott found that such volunteers operate in stark contrast to inefficient government operations like those he saw at the Poland/Ukraine border. Government-administered supply depots even make it hard for volunteers to get supplies. When Lott went with Gunnestad to one depot, Gunnestad was rejected because he hadn't applied for government approval in advance. The video above reveals many examples of how volunteers work better than governments.

How Your Job Predicts Your Political Party
If you tell me your occupation, I’ll predict your politics. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Psychologists study how people differ. It turns out that liberals are more open to experiences, while conservatives are more conscientious. That shows itself in professional differences: The vast majority of artists are Democrats, while business owners are usually Republicans. Most bartenders are Democrats, truck drivers Republicans. Most psychiatrists are Democrats, soldiers Republicans. Rob Henderson tries to explain why.

Tax Freedom in Puerto Rico
Move to Puerto Rico, you now pay zero federal taxes and keep 96% of your income. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— “I’m moving to Puerto Rico!” YouTube star Logan Paul announced. Why? He has to give just 4% of his income to the tax man. “Zero percent capital gains [tax],” points out entrepreneur Brock Pierce. This hasn’t gotten much attention on the mainland. People like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) don’t want you to know about it. "I think it’s horrifying,” says AOC. “Continued colonization of the people of Puerto Rico.” What AOC calls “colonization,” might be better called: “opportunity.” In my new video, I show you the tax revolution in Puerto Rico.

Where’s The Beef? Ask The Feds
Government meat “safety” rules can do more harm than good. They block you from healthy meat, help cause shortages, and hurt farmers. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— During the worst of COVID, many of us noticed beef shortages. “You’d go to Wendy’s to buy a hamburger and they were out of hamburger,” says Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY). "Yet you could see cattle from the drive-thru.” Stupid government rules, like “poke and sniff," are to blame.

Some politicians, and the media express dictator envy! ***** YouTube age-restricted the original video I posted, which vastly reduces the number of people who will see it. I have decided to edit out the section that may have caused the restriction, about how the Chinese government killed pets during covid.***** Leaders talk about their "admiration" for dictatorships. It’s a “utopian dream,” says historian Johan Norberg. They think: “if … someone at the top could … point us in a certain direction, everything would go well.” That’s childish. “If government is big enough to give you anything” Norberg explains, “it’s big enough to take everything away from you.” -------- Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV.
