Interviews and discussions
In an interview with Forbes in 2019, Stringham opposed any tax and social security.{{cite web | url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterjreilly/2019/04/24/warrens-7-solution-privatization-of-corporate-tax-measurement/?sh=32ffea2522ed | title=Warren's 7% Solution: Privatization Of Corporate Tax Measurement | last=Reilly | first=Peter J | date=24 April 2019 | website=Forbes | accessdate=6 July 2021 }}
In May 2020, Stringham said during a CNBC interview that the unemployment rate was expected to reach 16% but that the slight improvements were already noticeable.{{cite web | url=https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/05/08/us-jobs-market-a-disaster-but-things-are-improving-economist-says.html | title=US jobs market a 'disaster' but things are gradually getting better, economist says | last= | first= | date=8 May 2020 | website=CNBC | accessdate=6 July 2021 }}
In July 2020, The Christian Science Monitor discussed the question "Why libertarians are joining BLM calls to defund police". Stringham pointed out a lot of parallels with the libertarians believing that the responsibilities of police departments today would be better performed by local private security bodies and suitable alternatives to state police as adopted in some other countries.{{cite web | url=https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2020/0716/Why-libertarians-are-joining-BLM-calls-to-defund-police | title=Why libertarians are joining BLM calls to defund police | last=Bruinius | first=Harry | date=16 July 2020 | website=The Christian Science Monitor | accessdate=9 July 2021 }}{{cite web | url=https://reason.com/video/2020/07/21/dont-abolish-the-police-privatize-them/ | title=Don't 'Abolish the Police.'
