"strengthening the Anti Dumping Policies" = more opportunities for rent seeking

[Chathuranga Abey @Chathurangaab]

Sri Lanka is moving fast on reforms which are 20 years due. We are Systematically opening up the markets. This will allow Sri Lanka to access other markets via FTAs and PTAs #SMEnexus

Same time we are strengthening the Anit Dumping Policies and Import standards which is essential for the above reform to successfully take effect

Wealth tax equilibrium accounting. Transferring wealth must turn capital to consumption and destroy the economy. https://t.co/I8gTwtSj39

Would the wealth tax be refunded now😂

We know you don’t actually want a solution. You just want bad economic policy like a wealth tax to make yourself look & feel better.

Abolish the Income Tax.
Replace it with a Consumption Tax NOW!

[John Cochrane @JohnHCochrane]

Short version of many great points. If you redistribute wealth in order to support consumption, you get no wealth -- no savings, investment, factories, etc. Poor people will not leave 99% of their new wealth invested in productive capital as billionaires do.

[John Cochrane @JohnHCochrane]

Growth is not a strategy. Growth is what happens when free people are left alone to pursue their desires, constrained by respect for others property and liberty. I don’t live to fulfill some dreamers coercive “strategy”

It's the sixth time the President has extended the state of emergency, and the Parliament just rubber stamps it. What is the basis for the President to form the opinion that it is 'expident' for 'public security' and 'public order' currently?

[Paul Graham @paulg]

"... the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it."

If a historian on the right abused evidence in this way, they'd face career ruination.

When Boston University's Quinn Slobodian does it, he gets a Guggenheim fellowship, book awards, and a Hewlett Foundation grant.

Academia's rot runs far deeper than a simple crisis of rigor.

I got a fact and stat for you: we finished tenth in one of the worst Premier Leagues in recent memory and not a single person responsible for this embarrassment lost their job.
