CATO's Human Freedom Index uses inflation as a metric.
"87.4% of countries experienced pandemic related inflation" is a far less interesting premise.

This might be shocking but conservatives are lying.
>How is it Measured?
>Count 5 restrictive words: “Shall”, “Must”, “May not”, “Required”, and “Prohibited”. The total number of these restrictive words is the scoreboard Mercatus uses to determine the Least Regulated State. Change any of those words or delete them, and you lower the count each time.

The state did not eliminate regulations. It reworded them to eliminate the five restrictive words.

Soar: The Breakthrough Treatment for Fear of Flying by Tom Bunn worked very well for me. It's written by a pilot who is also a licensed therapist. The book uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help you moderate your body's stress response to flying, but with the added benefit of the author explaining, from a pilot's point of view, the mechanics of flying.
The book is only $10 so if it doesn't work no big loss.
