This article was originally published by Attila Rebak at The Mises Institute.  In the spring of 1812, British textile workers smashed power looms across Nottinghamshire, convinced that the machines would make their skills worthless and their families destitute. They were right about the disruption. Mills did displace hand-weavers. Communities that had organized themselves around a particular kind of skilled labor were genuinely torn apart. The Luddites weren’t stupid, and they weren’t wrong to feel the ground shifting. They were wrong about one thing: the conclusion. The labor those machines displaced didn’t vanish. It migrated into factories, railways, cities, and industries that hadn’t existed, filling wants that hand-weavers in 1812 couldn’t have imagined needing to satisfy. We are the Luddites now. Not the smashing machines part—the being right about the disruption and wrong about the conclusion part. Artificial Superintelligence will displace work on a scale that makes the power loom look modest. The disruption is real. The conclusion being drawn from it—permanent mass unemployment, the end of human economic relevance—is the same mistake, wearing better clothes. What Production Actually Does In 1803, Jean-Baptiste Say made an observation so simple that economists have spent two centuries finding ways to misread it: production…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Costco has finally answered calls to bring back its beloved churros — but shoppers aren’t exactly satisfied. Instead of bringing back the full-size pastry that once defined its food court, the Washington-based big-box retailer has unveiled a $2.99 Caramel Churro Sundae topped with tiny churro bites. The dessert features vanilla, chocolate or swirl soft-serve ice cream drizzled with salted caramel and topped with crunchy mini churro bites.MOST COSTCO SHOPPERS NEVER CHECK ONE PART OF THE STORE — A MISTAKE THAT COULD BE COSTING THEM HUNDREDSCostco’s original churros, fried dough typically rolled in cinnamon sugar, were a food court staple for decades. They first appeared in the 1990s and sold for 99 cents, according to reports, but were later reformulated and repriced before being discontinued in early 2024.Laura Jayne Lamb, who runs the Instagram account @costcohotfinds, shared a video of the new dessert this week, writing, “The Costco food court did it again!” The reaction online, however, has been mixed.A comment with nearly 5,000 likes on Lamb’s Instagram post read, “We don’t want bits of churros.

In order to load, unload and verify the condition of your Springfield Hellcat (or any other semi-automatic handgun), you have to be able to rack the slide. But what about those who aren’t strong enough to do that? Isn’t it impossible if your hands are too weak? I’m going to throw out a bit of a radical notion here: We always hear it’s a strength issue, but I think it has more to do with a little bit of uncertainty matched up with poor technique. Can you run your gun effectively? If not, want to learn a trick to master it? Don’t believe me? Check out my video above and my article below to find three tips that I’ve found help virtually every student I’ve ever taught to be able to rack the slide more effectively. Too Close for Comfort? When we are shooting a handgun, we usually fire it at full extension, with it pushed far away from our body and face. This helps us to manage recoil, use the sights and see our surroundings. For shooting, this makes sense. For dealing with administrative tasks like loading, unloading and verifying the condition of the gun, full extension isn’t the best…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE — One of the most consistent messages in the new movie “Reminders of Him” is that prisons are home to some victims, too.The film, based on Colleen Hoover’s novel of the same name, follows a young woman, Kenna, whose tragic mistake behind the wheel leads to the death of her boyfriend, Scotty. Unbeknownst to her, Kenna was pregnant. Kenna gave birth while in custody and was kept from her daughter while serving her sentence. Now, she returns to the same town to seek forgiveness from Scotty’s parents in hopes of reuniting with her now 5-year-old daughter, Diem.Director Vanessa Caswill hopes to remind audiences that one mistake shouldn’t condemn a person for a lifetime.”It’s just having a human understanding that people in prison aren’t necessarily there because they’re a bad person,” Caswill told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “Things happen and things lead to actions and, many times, actions are mistakes or misguided or misjudgments. I think that judgment’s a very tricky thing because we’re all flawed, and we all make mistakes, and we all need a moment in our life where we personally want redemption. So I think it’s…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! For many people, sagging jowls — loose skin that develops along the lower cheeks and jawline — are one of the first unexpected signs of aging.Dr. Shereene Idriss, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Idriss Dermatology in New York City, spoke to Fox News Digital about the best practices for managing the downward “drag.”To understand why jowls form and how to treat them, Idriss suggests visualizing the face as a piece of furniture.BRAIN AGING MAY ACCELERATE AFTER CANCER TREATMENT, STUDY SUGGESTS”I like to explain facial aging using a couch analogy: The bones are the frame, the fat and muscle are the cushions, and the skin is the fabric,” she said.When a person notices the early stages of “jowling,” it is rarely just a skin (“fabric”) issue. Instead, it is typically a combination of loss of structural support and fat shifting downward with gravity, according to Idriss. As the frame of the “couch” changes and the cushions compress, the fabric has no choice but to “naturally begin to drape differently,” she said.DO COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTS REALLY IMPROVE SKIN?

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! “Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.”The Fourth Commandment suddenly came to mind recently as I happened upon Larissa Phillips’ Free Press article about the Grateful Dead. It is all about following the Dead and how the whole thing was like a giant, mobile, joyous church.I concur.GRATEFUL DEAD LEGEND BOB WEIR DIES AT AGE 78 SURROUNDED BY FAMILY AFTER CANCER BATTLEStanding among thousands of fellow Deadheads, especially at the goosebump-inducing peak of a transcendent Jerry Garcia guitar solo, I would look around the mesmerized crowd and think, “If this isn’t a religion, what is?” A religion without a phony, overrated, massively disappointing “God,” and with real, talented, flesh-and-blood musicians to worship: Who could ask for anything more? Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, Elton John and Carlos Santana are my four musical gods. Broadly speaking, those of us who hop on planes and fly across the country or over oceans to see music belong to what I call the First Church of Song.Seeing and following the Grateful Dead was part of this faith. I was fortunate enough to catch the Dead for in-town shows in the New York City area and Los Angeles.…
