Time for clean air and climate action in Utah!
I’m part of a group (Clean the Darn Air) that’s trying to put a clean-air-and-climate measure on the 2020 ballot in Utah. Read about it on Fox 13 or in the Salt Lake Tribune. More soon! For more information or to get involved, check out our hot-off-the-presses website, CleanTheDarnAir.org or email me at yoram@standupeconomist.com.

In 2014 I was the “celebrity economist” in a series of videos for the newly redesigned Ford Transit Connect, a nifty van that’s customizable, maneuverable, fuel-efficient, and could be just right for your small business!
I filmed a “Numbers Don’t Lie” 30-second promo video, plus the 90-second “Tomatoes” video you see here and four other 90-second videos: “Petting Zoo”, “Surf Shop”, “Salvage Recycle”, and “Roadside Rescue”. And FYI see also this ad starring Nobel laureate Thomas Sargent!
