David Wilson

David writes about the economic and security side of policy for Legal Not Legal, covering how legislation and court rulings intersect with everyday financial life — tax policy shifts, the legal fine print behind major economic announcements, and what a new security measure actually changes for a resident rather than the political framing attached to it. He's drawn to the gap between how a policy gets announced and how it actually gets implemented months later, and his pieces usually end up living in that gap.

David reads the full text of a bill before he'll write a word about it, a habit that takes longer than skimming a summary but has saved him from repeating a few widely-shared misreadings over the years. He'd rather be a week late and right than first and wrong.
