Shame on IBJ for having such low standards.

Many people, including myself, choose not to get vaccinated because they have done the research, observed the results and found that the vaccines don’t work.

Three years ago, Susan Baughman left Indiana Sports Corp. after 22 years to be the president of the 2022 Indy College Football Playoff Inc. and Melissa Caito left ISC to raise the funds for not only the football championship, but also the future basketball events in Indianapolis.

Using more public funds toward higher education is not a reform-minded proposition; it’s adding to the existing funding model which is outdated.

There are literally thousands of health care workers, researchers and statisticians around the country working hard to make sense of the constantly changing landscape of this pandemic and the ever changing SARS CoV-2 virus.

Many parents do not have the resources, background and understanding that allows them to both actively participate and continuously push their children to learn and to excel. Great schools and great teachers cannot do this alone.

Cecil Bohanon and Nick Curott’s column “Give thanks to Pilgrims for private-property rights” suggests “binary thinking”: private property equals good; working together and sharing equals bad.

Would you sell your mature trees for $10.16 per tree to someone coming in to log your property?

The improvements to our infrastructure, our water quality, access to the internet and many other aspects of life are impressive.

Social engagement (the kind that doesn’t require a camera or screen) is a fundamental aspect of our development as a species.

As the average working person realizes a lower standard of living due to the greatest rate of inflation in decades, the American economy will be on the edge of falling off the cliff. And printing trillions more dollars will only accelerate the fall.

If you don’t like government mandates, where is your editorial opposing those pesky speed limits that local, state and federal governments mandate for our safety and health? The examples of government mandates are legion.

Maintaining office space, which can be quite a large overhead expense, just isn’t always justified by the type of business or profit margin.
