I’ve reported for years on studies that rank relative freedom in countries around the world. America’s performance is getting worse. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ——— The Heritage Foundation ranks economic freedom across the globe. We once ranked 4th . This year, the U.S. slipped to its "worst-ever score,” 25th. I’ll show you why we’re falling so fast, and why we should increase freedom.

Bjorn Lomborg studies solutions for the world’s biggest problems. He says we should spend on the “best things first.” ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ———— I asked people on the street in New York how they’d spend money to help the world. Fixing climate change was the most common answer. Lomborg agrees that climate change is a problem that may threaten our kids someday. But he also says, “if you live most other places on the planet, you’re worried about the fact that your kids might die from easily curable diseases tonight.” Lomborg has a cheaper plan that would save millions of lives.

Chris Rufo makes some people angry. Why? Because he's eliminating woke departments at Florida universities, and exposing woke corporate and government trainings. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ———— Rufo was once a filmmaker, making documentaries for PBS about things like American poverty. But then his research on poverty connected him with government workers who leaked documents about absurd "woke" training programs. The documents showed that Seattle's Office of Civil Rights, for example, trained employees to "practice self-talk that affirms ... complicity in racism" and to work on "undoing your own whiteness." Media say Rufo has "invented" a crisis about this kind of thing, and that he's pushing a "moral panic." But Rufo has evidence. Watch the video above to see some of it.

Socialists say they care about the environment. The real world shows that capitalism works better. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ———— Saving the planet, I’m told, requires socialism! Greed "is literally destroying our planet,” says Sen. Bernie Senders. We need “an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few!” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Sanders and AOC, as usual, have it backwards. Socialist governments have “the worst environmental record on the planet,” says Tom Palmer, Executive Vice President of the Atlas Network. Here is evidence.

When America promised to take care of us old people, politicians basically lit the fuse on a stick of dynamite. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ———— The retirement benefits worked because there were a lot of young people paying into the system, and most old people died by age 65. But now we old people keep living longer. There aren’t enough young people to pay for it all. An explosion is coming.

The federal government and the media are excited about something new: a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). “I think it would be a total disaster,” Gov. Ron DeSantis tells me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe) ———— A CBDC would be a cryptocurrency, one controlled by the federal government. The Biden administration says a CBDC would “protect consumers, investors...and the environment.” DeSantis tells me, "Sometimes government does things that may appear to be benevolent but really are kind of like a wolf in sheep's clothing. This is a wolf coming as a wolf.” DeSantis says the government will use digital money to spy on us and control our behavior. “'You're filling up too much [with gas]. Wait a minute--Climate change… You can't be doing that! …You bought another firearm? No, no, no.'" He's is so upset about this new plan, he just persuaded Florida’s legislature to ban the CBDC's use in Florida.
