The drive for military conscription has always depended upon the use of propaganda, since governments cannot make an honest and genuine case for the wars they start. | @WanjiruNjoya

Get ready to hear a lot about how we need government regulation to ensure that only state-approved, expensive, crony "capitalist" firms are allowed to develop AI. | @ryanmcmaken

When government regulates or produces electricity, it claims to act in the name of conservation, or preventing “profligacy” by customers. Yet, only free markets can decide what is “profligate” and what is not. | Adnan Alabbar

Not even your Roomba vacuum cleaner is safe from state control. Time for the state to give up all economic controls across the board. | @thiagovscoelho

Politicians sell business regulation as benefiting consumers. In reality, as we saw from airline regulation, the system creates cartels that shut out consumers and benefit regulated businesses. | Hal Snarr

Murray Rothbard wrote many years ago that government regulation, ostensibly created to protect consumers, actually protects incumbent producers from competition. Decades later, nothing has changed. | Hal Snarr

When government becomes involved in finance, interest groups abound, each one seeking wealth transfers to the detriment of others. This has been the case since the founding of this country, and AI is just a new chapter. | Hamoon Soleimani

World Cup tickets are a hot commodity with prices through the roof. Naturally, governments want to do what governments always do unsuccessfully: levy price controls. | Josh Bozzick

Lying seems to come naturally to political elites. @DrMarkThornton examines John J. Mearsheimer’s book, Why Leaders Lie: The Truth about Lying in International Politics to find out why elites lie so much.

Bob sits down with fund manager and author @LawrenceLepard to discuss his book The Big Print, which argues that the core problem with modern America is not corporate greed or partisan politics, but a monetary system deliberately structured to benefit those closest to the Fed at the expense of wage earners and savers.

If something is truly impossible, you can't just do it for a few decades. Nobody says a perpetual motion machine worked just because it ran for 70 years. What @Mises showed is that rational economic planning without prices can't be done. @BobMurphyEcon @NewmanJ_R #HAPod

People reject and fail to comprehend sound #economics not because it is wrong (it is not), but because they wish to believe in the failed and impossible promises of the State as a deus ex machina.
