Ford didn't make the rich a luxury; he made the luxury affordable to working men by chasing profit through productivity. That's the market's quiet miracle — The Invisible Hand. It's in the book.

On this date, June 16, 1903, Henry Ford and twelve investors signed the papers incorporating Ford Motor Company. No central plan ordered a car for every family — productivity and the profit motive delivered it.

@ewarren You and @BarackObama kicked my family off our insurance, so STFU!

The "safe" program robbed him of the magic of compounding — and of an estate to leave his kids. Did Social Security rescue Ben Fleast from poverty, or force him into it? Do-Gooders, Ch 18.

@tobibog @PhilWMagness True. Most people don't question his abuse of the data.

In 2017, Las Vegas was awarded an expansion NHL team, the Golden Knights. In their first seven seasons, they have earned an impressive win-loss record of 312-176, and won the highly competitive Stanley Cup in 2023. The runner-up was the Florida Panthers. Why would the best ice hockey players move to sunshine states?

In the words of Tyreek Hill, “It’s just those state taxes, man.”

Perhaps, if your favorite team disappoints year after year, it is not the coach you should be yelling at.
