Important Victory for Economic Liberty in Oregon

The Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro notes some very good news from Oregon:

[Y]esterday Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski signed HB 2817-a bill that eliminates the cartelization of the moving business in the Beaver state.

The old law required the Oregon Department of Transportation to notify existing moving companies of businesses that wanted to enter into their market. What's more, those companies were given a veto over the would-be market entrants thereby locking out all competition to maintain artificially high prices—all with the government's help.

The owner of a new moving company, Adam Sweet, enlisted the help of Pacific Legal Foundation lawyer and Cato adjunct scholar Tim Sandefur to litigate against the old law. That lawsuit, once it cleared challenges for dismissal, prompted several pieces of legislation that culminated into the bill that the governor signed yesterday.

You got my hopes up that the state finally rescinded its ban on self-service at gas stations; alas, it hasn't.

If I had the nerve to get off my ass, navigate the hellacious application process and rack up gonzo student loan debt, this is what I would do with my life. Get a JD, link up with a libertarian legal group and take statists to court.

But alas, here I am at dead end job at 5:13 on a Friday, surfing reason.

Yeah we saw this already but actually I prefer individual threads for each topic. I hate "link roundups"--it makes the conversation thereafter more confused and inhibits comments. I'd ditch the "Morning Links" thing if I was running the show.

The air jordan shoes Fund is one of the latest shoes to come from Jordan Brand. This sneaker is part of the Team Jordan line, which is mostly meant to play basketball in. We have seen a couple of colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Fund before this, two to be exact. Well here we feature the third colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Fund. This sneaker is pretty simple, as most of the shoe comes in white. Chrome accents are seen on both Jumpmans. The most notable feature has to be the the speckled midsole. which comes in grey with black speckle dots. air jordan shoes The shoe also features a visible Air unit, which is rare when it comes to Jordans.

I love the MBT Shoes! I am an avid runner, with over-pronation and a family history of foot and leg pain. The MBT Sport Shoes make running possible for me. I've tried many other insoles and none of them work as well as MBT Shoes. I'm currently training for my second marathon, and my MBT Shoes are protecting me from injury. I decide to buy a MBT Lami for my Mother for GIFT. Thank you!"
