I learned from Don Boudreaux this morning that Walter Williams died either this morning or last night. For those of you who don’t know, he was a long-time economics professor at George Mason University.
I’ll have more to say later but I want to give one appreciation.
Walter liked smoking and he also hated the TSA. Some years ago, the combination of no-smoking regs on planes and intrusive groping by the TSA caused him to vow never to fly by commercial airline again. When he received offers to give speeches that were far enough away that driving was infeasible, he negotiated for a private airplane to take him there.

RIP Walter.
I know Walter from his broadcasts on the Rush Limbaugh program.
The world has lost a good man.
I've never laughed so much as when he announced on the radio that he had bought his wife a new lawn mower for Christmas.

“2020 is making a case for it’s inclusion on the list of Worst Years Ever.”
I guess it’s all relative. I’m sure many Iranians would say 1979 was the worst ever. And many Russians would say 1917. And deadheads would say 1995........
but yeah 2020 has been the most 1984ish year ever

I suspect it was a typo.
“was” should have been “wasn’t”

Wow tragic just tragic RIP
I had so many wonderful email conversations with Walter Williams, such a sincere warm hearted of a man who will be deeply and greatly missed.

Dr. Williams kept a really nice Confederate battle flag right on the front of his desk where it would be visible for everyone to see when going in his office.
No greater defender of the South and of our wonderful proud Confedrate/Southern heritage than DR. Walter Williams.
