Liquor

To any out of state readers:

Utah is undertaking a major reform of its liquor laws. It will now be easier to get a drink here.

I think this is a small step in a big trend. Utah is slowly becoming more like the rest of the US. More on the resulting big picture economic ramifications --- including why YOU should move here --- soon.

Last night at the 10.30 news update from the BBC World Service, the changing of the liquor laws in Utah was one of the stories in the 5 minute update. Huntman's name certainly got a lot of reach there.

Supply and Demand for fresh tracks, ECON 101... Supply of snow in Utah is relatively constant, and higher than most ski states. If more people move here, more demand, and pretty soon we're all skiing moguls. Utah's goofyness is what has protected this until now. Schaefer, don't let the secret out. No one else should move here, except the econ professors you are wining & dining at your conference...
