NY and Texas on requiring the measles vaccine. A contrast between "liberty" and "life." Interesting to see the WSJ editorial board opining in favor of life...

Markets generally reward governments that have a plan that involves short-term pain for long-term gain. But there has to be such a plan. I don't see one. And the market doesn't either.
