Haven't read anything from him in a while. He used to be funny

Convinced me back in the 90's that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Vastly under appreciated.

My favorite O’Rourke quote:
“If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait ‘til it’s free.”

One of my all time favorite writers. I discovered him as a teenager in the 90s when he wrote for Rolling Stone. My parents are both lifelong democrats. His pieces are probably amongst the first things I read that made me question the utility of big government.
I read most of his books in my 20s. Just read Modern Manners about 5ish years ago. Written in 1983 and still holds up because of his wit.

He also wrote a column for Automobile magazine for a time.

I read one of his books on economics.
Informative and funny as hell.

Age and guile beat youth, innocence, and a bad haircut.
