In this week's The Reason Roundtable, editors Katherine Mangu-Ward, Matt Welch, and Peter SudermanĀ and special guest C.J. Ciaramella talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and the current political discourseĀ surrounding criminal justice reform.

21:38: The Jones Act is still terrible.
25:37: Weekly Listener Question:
Dearly beloved Roundtable,
When considering foreign policy issues, shouldn't libertarians worry not only about acts of commission but also acts of omission? It seems that libertarians are reflexively worried about acts of commission but seldom focus on the consequences that derive from lack of action (i.e., acts of omission). Isn't it at least possible that failure to act can lead to a less-libertarian preferred outcome? If so, how should one balance action vs. inaction?
