Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL and Washington, D.C. July 5, 2021—Thinking Outside the Boxe has released the transcripts of the question and answer session from its Independence Day Champagne Summit held in Orlando on July 4, 2021. Participants included correspondents from Wheeling, West Virginia; Sydney, Australia; Gastonia, North Carolina; and Orange County, California.
This year’s Summit considered the Afghanistan withdrawal, the risk of sustained inflation, content-moderation standards across political viewpoints, domestic semiconductor manufacturing, student-loan forbearance and cancellation, remote work and the relative power of coastal cities, minimum national standards for election administration, continued pandemic spending and fiscal sustainability, corporate and asset-manager political activism, and public willingness to accept broad restrictions in future emergencies.
About Thinking Outside the Boxe
Thinking Outside the Boxe is a private, independent research and commentary organization dedicated to examining politics, finance, economics, world affairs, law, public policy, and the conduct of institutions from perspectives often absent from conventional media and public debate. Through original research, commentary, symposiums, and contributions from a diverse group of correspondents, Thinking Outside the Boxe seeks to broaden the parameters of public knowledge, challenge prevailing assumptions, and encourage thoughtful debate on issues of national and international importance.
Thinking Outside the Boxe is nonpartisan and independent of political parties, universities, media organizations, and institutional orthodoxies. Its work reflects a continuing commitment to limited government, lawful borders, fiscal seriousness, open inquiry, constitutional principles, and the belief that a free people are best served when arguments are tested against evidence rather than restricted to an approved range of opinion. Its correspondents may disagree with one another, but they share a willingness to examine difficult questions, reach conclusions, and say what conventional institutions sometimes will not.
