9/1/2025: If by regulations, you mean...w/ Per Bylund, economist

This week on If By Whiskey, Jason and Mark sit down with economist, author, and government red-tape sniper Per Bylund to talk about his book The Seen, the Unseen, and the Unrealized—a title that sounds like a horror movie, and honestly... it kind of is. We dive into the sneaky ways regulations wreck your life without you even knowing it—from the businesses that never open, to the inventions that never see daylight, to the bacon-wrapped hot dogs that never get legalized. Per explains how bureaucrats with clipboards and zero skin in the game have turned the economy into a playground of permission slips, compliance costs, and wasted potential. It’s Bastiat meets black coffee—with a shot of whiskey and a dash of rage. So if you've ever felt like you need a license to blink or a permit to think, this episode is your jam. Buckle up, raise your glass, and join us for a no-holds-barred conversation about how to deregulate your brain and maybe—just maybe—the world. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
