A Republican claiming to be in support of ‘free market economics’ and ‘tax cuts’ while simultaneously calling for tariffs is about as backwards & counter productive as it gets.
If you support tariffs & trade wars, then you don’t support free market capitalism. Plain and simple.
@_magaturd@MichaelLesko9@elonmusk Do you disagree that innovation decreases costs in the long run?
Consider the monopolistic prices on taxi services that existed prior to the existence of ride share platforms.
Technological innovation reduces prices.
@MichaelLesko9@elonmusk Michael, what do you think of all the people dependent on ride share who will now have access to cheaper transportation options? Your inability to embrace innovation is laughable.
@dalekinney223@WSJ Nope! Please read Article 1, section 8 of the constitution!

@brew56200@jackvlloyd That’s because California is a big government/neo-socialist state that exists within the larger capitalist US. What is your definition of capitalism and how does California’s regulatory regime and redistributive system resemble it?
@juliaioffe “Thank you to everyone who voted for this” as if you haven’t dedicated your life to voting for Democrats that have equally expanded the power of the federal government 🤦♂️
@LangmanVince That’s because you’re somehow missing the fact that she barely clips him. He was never in any actual danger of being ran over. The intent of the driver is exceptionally important in labeling this as a justified use of deadly force. Her intent was clearly NOT to run him over.
End the Fed; However, I stand by the fact that if the Fed must exist, then it MUST remain autonomous. Political interference into monetary policy will be disastrous by every available metric.

@RJCass1@WSJ Allowing private companies access to the use of mailboxes will create competition which will lower mail costs. This is a fact.
Also, as said, if you don’t like Trump’s USPS policy then you should be in favor of allowing private alternatives access to the same services.
