[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“The most unresolved problem of the day is precisely the problem that concerned the founders of this nation: how to limit the scope and power of government.”

@thescorechicago @SenCunningham At the end of the day, whether you are a retired individual, a small business, a family making ends meet or a larger business , like the. Bears. In Illinois it’s about taxes, taxes and taxes.

[William J Corley @ManagementBill]

@Joeinblack So very sorry this happened.

@aricnesbitt @ReneeDahl5 Illinois has some 850 school districts with 10,000,000 fewer people than Fla

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“A worker is protected from his employer by the existence of other employers for whom he can go to work. An employer is protected from exploitation by his employees by the existence of other workers whom he can hire.”

— Milton Friedman

[Fr. Joseph Krupp @Joeinblack]

I worked as a Catholic school teacher and administrator for 10 years and I have been the pastor of five Catholic schools.
At the current place I’m in, our cost to educate is half of what the public school across the road is. they have a massive campus, unbelievable facilities, and are absolutely packed because of school of choice.
They just built a 30,000,000+ dollar football facility with an indoor swimming pool, as for us, we have buckets in the hallway to catch rainwater from our ceilings.
The public schools have massive, massive advantages against a vast majority of private schools: most notably, they are funded in part by people who choose private school.
I have family who work in the public school system, and I would suggest their number one issue was not a lack of money, It’s an abundance of administrators, but that’s obviously not the point here.
I read one of your comments below about private schools being selective, and I’m sure it happens in some places, but never once at a place I’ve been at have we rejected anyone for any reason except their inability to put their own education dollars where they want to.
The public schools require those dollars to not educate the private school kids
With all that, I can see how a person would look at the numbers you put up and want to in someway punish private schools, but I assure you, we are punished by the state in every conceivable legal way, and still manage to succeed even while competing against our own tax dollars.
I know this isn’t your point, but I wish we would burn the whole system down and rebuild it based around education.

If capping property taxes means government has to cancel projects, cut spending, and tighten its belt, good.

That's the whole point.

Illinois families have made sacrifices for years. It's government's turn.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “Why should you be able to tell John and Jane that they have to be proficient in a foreign language?”

“Maybe they’d rather be proficient in music, mathematics, or something else. It’s just a demonstration of your willingness to replace their judgement by yours.”

Teaspoons

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just described how the entire government operates in a single sentence.

Musk: “Paying people to do nothing doesn’t make sense.”

Then he told a Milton Friedman story that should terrify every bureaucrat on the payroll.

Friedman watched workers digging ditches with shovels.

He suggested they use excavators instead.

Someone pushed back.

“But then we’re going to lose a lot of jobs.”

Musk: “Friedman says, well, in that case, why don’t you have them use teaspoons?”

One sentence.

That’s all it took to gut the entire logic of modern government.

The teaspoon is not a punchline.

It is the actual policy.

Every agency that would cease to exist if it actually solved the problem it was created for.

Every department that measures success by headcount instead of output.

Every approval that routes through nine desks before someone can say yes.

Teaspoons.

The system doesn’t want excavators.

Excavators finish the job.

And a finished job is the one thing the system can’t afford.

So it hands you a teaspoon. Calls it a career. Gives you a pension for never asking why the ditch took forty years.

But this isn’t about laziness.

It’s about control.

A person digging with a teaspoon doesn’t have time to build something better.

Doesn’t have the energy to question the plan.

Doesn’t have a thought left to ask if the ditch even needed digging.

Busy people don’t ask dangerous questions.

That’s the point.

The economy doesn’t run on productivity.

It runs on the appearance of productivity.

Millions of people sit at desks right now doing work a single script could replace by morning.

They know it.

Their managers know it.

The people who sign their budgets know it.

But the teaspoon stays in their hand.

Because the moment you hand someone an excavator, they finish by noon.

And a person with a free afternoon starts thinking. Starts building. Starts wondering why they needed permission to dig in the first place.

That’s the thing the system can’t survive.

Not unemployment.

Free time.

Musk didn’t tell a joke on Rogan.

He described the longest con in modern governance.

Keep them digging.

Keep them busy.

Keep the teaspoon in their hand so they never look up long enough to see the ditch was pointless from the start.

Friedman told that story sixty years ago.

He meant it as a warning.

The system heard every word.

It just made sure everyone kept calling it a joke so no one would recognize it as a confession.
