Journal Editorial Report: The week’s best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Dan Henninger. Images: AP/Reuters Composite: Mark KellyNeptune Township, N.J.A religious nonprofit has owned Ocean Grove, a stretch of beach and adjacent property, for more than 150 years. In the 1980s the group relaxed that policy, opening Ocean Grove’s beaches at noon on Sundays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It’s the only patch of the roughly 130-mile Jersey Shore that’s off limits to bathers on summer Sunday mornings. Now state officials are looking to strip the community of its religious tradition and force the beaches open.

A Big Legal Defeat for the Realtors

Journal Editorial Report: The week’s best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Dan Henninger. Images: AP/Reuters Composite: Mark KellyThe National Association of Realtors has objected to our editorials challenging its anti-competitive business model, but what do you know. On Tuesday a federal jury found the Realtors liable under U.S. antitrust laws for conspiring to fix prices in the class-action case Burnett v. NAR. Missouri home sellers challenged a Realtor rule requiring seller agents to provide a blanket offer of compensation to a buyer’s broker to list a home on the association’s affiliated multiple-listing service (MLS). These databases of homes for sale are similar to stock exchanges in that they match brokers and sellers.

Journal Editorial Report: The week’s best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Dan Henninger. Images: AP/Reuters Composite: Mark Kelly‘Affordable housing” is a noble goal and the mother of endless dim policies. The latest counterproductive effort is a push in Massachusetts to fund home construction by taxing home sales. Maura Healey recently gave her blessing to Bay State towns and cities that want to tax home sales. Instead of going into a general fund, the revenue would be set aside to support housing that the state deems affordable.

The same can’t be said of its electric vehicles, which lost $3.1 billion during the first nine months of this year. Those losses will doubtless grow, and anyone who thinks Washington won’t give auto makers another bailout should think again. Last week Munich-based Siemens Energy , one of the world’s top wind manufacturers, said the German government is prepared to extend as much as €16 billion (or $16.9 billion) in state guarantees to rescue it.

Journal Editorial Report: The week’s best and worst from Kim Strassel, Bill McGurn and Dan Henninger. Images: AP/Reuters Composite: Mark KellyOne great benefit of America’s federalist Constitution is policy competition among the states. Voters in Florida don’t have to live under New York’s laws, and Americans and businesses can vote with their feet by moving across state lines. That truth came into focus again last week when the Tax Foundation released its annual ranking of state business tax climates, and there’s a yawning gap between the winners and losers. The worst stack up punishing rates, making new business much more difficult and costly.

Images: Reuters/AFP/Getty Images/Bloomberg News Composite: Mark KellyI supported Donald Trump twice, but I now think the country would be best served with a different candidate in 2024—Nikki Haley. Mr. Trump did a good job as president, from improving the economy to securing the border and maintaining world peace. But a Trump re-election would be difficult, and half the country will never accept him as president. It would keep us divided while we face international situations that require this country to be unified.

Images: Reuters/AFP/Getty Images/Bloomberg News Composite: Mark KellyThe course of world affairs may depend on the price of a box of cereal. The president is commander in chief of America’s military and the chief steward of its foreign policy. In international affairs, unlike in domestic policy, the president’s choices are often decisive. And when presidential candidates’ visions about foreign affairs fundamentally differ, as they almost certainly will in 2024, the outcome of the election will shape the fate of many nations.

The Atlanta Federal Reserve suggests gross domestic product might have grown at an annual rate of more than 5%. The answer lies in the unexpected loosening of fiscal and monetary policy in 2023. After taking account of the Biden administration’s unsuccessful attempt to forgive student loans, the deficit unexpectedly doubled this year to about $2 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Consider Burnett v. NAR, a federal class-action suit that Missouri home sellers have brought against the association. The case, which went to trial last week, presents an existential threat to the cartel. If the plaintiffs prevail, home buyers and sellers could save $120 billion in fees each year.

But the Biden Administration’s back-door EV mandate is ironically causing trouble for its plans for green-vehicle investment. On Sept. 14, the day before the United Auto Workers launched its strike, the Energy Department sent letters to Ford, General Motors and Stellantis asking for help understanding “specific challenges” to its proposed rule that would reduce the credits under the corporate average fuel economy (Cafe) standards for producing electric vehicles.

They are in danger of a steep recession and the risk of a repeat of 1987’s Black Monday. Early in the pandemic, the volume of U.S. dollars in circulation soared. That is more than three times the appropriate rate for hitting the Fed’s 2% inflation target.

Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Kyle Peterson and Dan Henninger. Images: Zuma Press/EPA/Shutterstock Composite: Mark KellyActive portfolio managers claim that agile stock picking is the best way to invest. Many have lately argued that simple indexing is a bad strategy in today’s environment because the stock market is dangerously “narrow.” Seven stocks—Alphabet, Amazon , Apple , Meta , Microsoft , Nvidia and Tesla—constitute close to 20% of the S&P 500’s value and have been responsible for almost 90% of the index’s gains this year. Now these “Magnificent Seven” are beginning to falter. The simple index investor, the active managers warn, will soon be overly concentrated in a small number of stocks that are overpriced and have been hyped by the promise of artificial intelligence.
