Let's blow.

As a political leader, elected official, if you wanna create more jobs, maybe more in-migration, higher wages, what do you do? Do you r- go back to what everyone does, uh, each and every day, or do you try something new? Well, Patrick McLaughlin joins us, visiting research fellow with the Pacific Legal Foundation.

As a result of a new study, it seems like there are other options.

Patrick, welcome to the show.

It's a subtle effect for each individual rule.

But when you put enough of these rules together, you start to see there is a stall happening as firms grow from small to medium size, and some of them just don't have the fuel to keep on putting into that, you know, the, the smoker to get past the stall.

We're visiting with Patrick McLaughlin, visiting research fellow at the Pacific Legal Foundation.

Patrick, the other day we had a state economist that said the following: "Know your NGO." And part of the danger of this regulatory, you know, morass that's out there is that you have these ideologically funded NGOs that go find these little nuggets, these little nuances that stand in the way of development that may have been passed 30 years ago, that had never been enforced ever.

Yeah, that really highlights the importance of getting it right before you make a new regulation, some new policy.

Thank you so much, uh, Patrick, for joining us today.

Love the article, uh, love the approach.

Patrick McLaughlin, visiting research fellow, Pacific Legal Foundation.

Always appreciate your time, your insight, and have a great week.

Um, seems as though a lot of people in the NFC South aren't really particularly interested in winning the NFC South, so there's still hope, uh, for us at, in, in some respect.

Uh, in the top of the 11 o'clock hour, we'll visit with Patrick McLaughlin, visiting research fellow, Pacific Legal Foundation, and we'll talk about how to boost job growth, uh, in your state in a study that they did and what it revealed.
