It's not plagiarism, but it's also not something a moderately talented high-schooler couldn't have done. I mean he even used the same food examples, the same real-estate examples, the same travel examples, the same home appliance examples...all he did is add some BLS stats.

Ah, sorry, I missed that bit.
So you just accused a Pulitzer Prize winner of plagiarism. Do you have any evidence for this? Where is the original that you claim he "repackaged"?
The claim wasn't that he committed plagiarism, it was that he lazily "repackaged" a blog post: http://cafehayek.com/2016/02/40405.html

Fair enough. I concede the point.
