If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster.
And we should.
While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable:
The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together.
That experience was special.

Everyone wants AI, streaming, and the cloud. Fewer want the data centers that make them possible. CEI’s Clyde Wayne Crews (@wayne_crews) argues that communities blocking this infrastructure should not expect equal access to all of its benefits.

The Telecom Act tried to engineer competition and fell short. CEI's Brian Rankin argues the next update should let innovation lead instead.

For every 1 law Congress passes, agencies issue 22 rules. That's the real lawmaking happening in Washington. @wayne_crews new report exposes the full cost of regulatory overreach and what it takes to fix it. bit.ly/41WeupW

The AI problem is not private-sector misbehavior or a lack of gov't oversight. Rather, it is gov't itself as an AI actor - weaponizing, funding, deploying, steering, indemnifying contractors, & displacing market disciplines w/ predation.

Transparency International’s latest CPI shows rising corruption, including in the U.S. Research shows that heavy regulation and opaque rules make bribery, fraud, and rent-seeking more likely. Streamlined, transparent systems restore trust and limit abuse. @SSwedberg57 cei.org/blog/red-tape-green-…

Trump’s SOTU covered hot pocketbook issues like inflation and affordability but largely ignored government bloat and the need to cut spending, abolish agencies, and dismantle regulatory regimes. @wayne_crews cei.org/blog/abolish-shuffle…
