[Mises 🗽 @EconomiaMises]

“Algunos izquierdistas creen que el mundo comunista funcionaría bien si la «gente buena» estuviera a cargo de él. No se dan cuenta de que, por definición, la gente buena no quiere controlar la vida de los demás.”

Ludwig von Mises

I made it (well, almost) in this video from my @reason days. In the video I used gin, but I prefer rye.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Adam Smith understood this in 1776.

250 years later, many people still don’t.

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Sowell: “If you’re the world’s leading authority on some particular subject, that doesn’t mean you even have minimal competence in a hundred other things.”

“One of the most dangerous things in the academic world and among intellectuals in general is that they often seem to assume they know better than other people about all sorts of things, including things that these other people know from their own personal experience.”

Good morning 😃

Milton Friedman on government’s major functions

[Bitcoin B2B for Freedom @BTC_for_Freedom]

- You: "The money in my account is mine, right?"

- Bank: "Legally? No."

- You: "Excuse me?"

- Bank: "A deposit is a loan to us. The money becomes ours."

- You: "Then what do I have?"

- Bank: "A claim. You're an unsecured creditor."

- You: "Unsecured meaning..."

- Bank: "If we fail, you queue behind the secured ones."

- You: "So 'my account' is a promise, not a possession?"

- Bank: "Now you're reading the terms."

[Bitcoin B2B for Freedom @BTC_for_Freedom]

- 1913: "The income tax will only hit the top 1%."

- 1935: "Social security numbers will never be used for identification."

- 1971: "The gold suspension is temporary."

- 2001: "These surveillance powers are only for terrorists."

- 2020: "Two weeks to slow the spread."

- 2026: "CBDCs will never be used to control spending."

- You: "I'm noticing a pattern."

- Government: "There's no pattern."

- You: "That's what the pattern would say."

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

“What is most frightening about the political left is that they seem to have no sense of the tragedy of the human condition. All problems seem to them to be due to other people not being as wise or as noble as they are.”

— Thomas Sowell

[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Thomas Sowell The Maverick:

Quote:
“I’ve never been able to find a single country in the world where the policies advocated for blacks in the United States have lifted any people out of poverty.

I’ve seen many examples of people who began in poverty and ended in affluence. Not one of them followed the pattern being pushed here.”

> Born poor in 1930.
> Orphaned at 3.
> Moved to Harlem at 8.
> Became homeless and stayed in a shelter at age 17 in 1948.
> Slept with a knife under the pillow.
> Started college at 23. Got his PhD from Chicago at 38.

The man can be summarized with one experience: Working for the federal government in a single summer cured him of Marxism: “Government is really not the answer.”

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

“It’s amazing how many of the people who find disparities offensive and puzzling never look at the disparities in inputs behind the disparities in outputs.”

— Thomas Sowell

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Thomas Sowell:

“People who want the government to control the prices of pharmaceutical drugs seldom, if ever, raise the question of what actually happens in places and times when government has controlled the prices of pharmaceutical drugs.

Canada and other countries do it. What consequences have there been? One major consequence is that Canada and other countries do not create nearly as many of the new life-saving pharmaceutical drugs as the United States does.

These other countries live off the results—the medicines—produced by the enormously costly research that ‘obscene’ pharmaceutical profits finance in America.”
