While it is indeed viral now, it is actually an old story from July of 2012. In Medford, Oregon in 2012, Gary Harrington faced 30 days in jail for collecting rainwater in a reservoir. While many of the stories mistakenly claimed he was just collecting it in buckets, it was far more than that. He collected nearly 13 million gallons of water which is enough to fill 20 olympic sized swimming pools. This does not however change the insanity of being arrested for such an act on your own property. Oregon does not strictly restrict the collection of rainwater, but there is nuance to the issue which we explain in the video. On top of Oregon, there are 14 other states that restrict or outright ban the collection of rainwater. The excuse is that people "might get sick" drinking water from the sky. Meanwhile, look at Flint Michigan and tell us how good the government is at giving people "clean" water. Another excuse is that it negatively affects the watershed. The difference between collecting rainwater or not is negligible on the watershed. It essentially doesn't have an effect. This is about controlling people's basic ability to be self sustainable in any way, shape or form. It's about essentially telling you that mommy and daddy government own you, always. There are many cases in Canada of arrests surrounding rainwater collection as well, going back to the 1990s with cases happening up into the late 2010s. On top of water collection, there are also insane building restrictions on people's private properties which we detail in this video as well.

Mises defends his use of the word: true liberalism is defined by private ownership of the means of production, and he explains why he keeps the name despite its distorted modern usage.
The crucial difference between physical “capital goods” and “capital” as an accounting concept, and how profit and loss, private property, and economic calculation steer production toward what consumers actually want.
Tom Woods frames Ludwig von Mises's book around a single question—when the state may legitimately initiate force—and the classical liberal's insistence on a very high threshold for it.
Ludwig von Mises's preface to the English edition: what classical liberalism is, why its program rests on private property, and how “liberal” came to mean nearly its opposite in America.
Mises defines liberalism as a program for material welfare grounded in reason, ties it to capitalism, and examines the psychological roots of antiliberal resentment.
The first principles of liberal politics—private property, freedom, peace, and equality before the law—with a critique of the doctrine of force, fascism, and the proper limits of government.
The economic case for private property and the free market, including the impracticability of socialism, the failures of interventionism, and the problems of cartels, monopoly, and bureaucracy.
Liberalism applied to world affairs: national self-determination, free trade and freedom of movement as the foundations of peace, and critiques of nationalism, imperialism, and colonialism.
Why liberalism differs from interest-based parties, the crisis of parliamentary government, and the misleading charge that liberalism is merely the “party of capital.”
Mises argues that modern civilization rests on liberalism and capitalism, and can be destroyed only from within—by the spread of antiliberal ideas, not by any outside enemy.
Mises's guided reading list of the essential works of liberal thought, from Hume, Smith, and Bentham onward, for readers who want to study the tradition in depth.

SCOTUS has sent down some seriously important decisions. Today we discuss Trump v Barbara, the Birthright Citizenship case, including its errors and how it can be handled.Next we tackle Trump v Slaughter, the case that will allow Trump to actually Drain the Swamp by firing resisters. Paired with that is Trump v Cook, where the Court demonstrates cognitive dissonance with the Fed.Finally, our remaining time covers three gun cases, Hemani, Wolford, and Viramontes. The first was a surprising total victory for the Second Amendment. Wolford told Hawaii that the spirit of aloha wasn't a legal principle, with another solid 2A victory. And the in the third, the Court decided to hear a gun ban case, which should yield us a big win next year.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu and special guest co-host Lisa Bilyeu. Broadcasting from their home studio, Tom and Lisa dive deep into the latest headlines and societal shifts that are shaping our world. In this episode, they tackle pressing topics, including the chaotic state of U.S.-Iran negotiations and what it signals about America's global standing, the Pope's recent "holy war" on artificial intelligence and its implications for humanity, controversial property rights proposals in New York City, and the alarming erosion of free speech in the West. Through candid conversation and contrasting perspectives, Tom and Lisa Bilyeu explore the intersection of logic, emotion, politics, and technology—challenging listeners to think critically about the future of democracy, individual rights, and the ever-accelerating influence of AI.
