“In order to make people equal, you have to treat them differently. If you treat people alike, the result is necessarily inequality.”

— Friedrich Hayek

Limited government is not a weakness. It's a safeguard against tyranny.

[Handre @Handre]

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.

The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.

Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.

Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.

This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.

Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman on government’s four major functions:

1) Ensure national defense
2) Protect citizens from “abuse and coercion by other citizens”
3) Define and uphold private property rights
4) Maintain a judicial system to adjudicate disputes and enforce rules

Tesla was just GRANTED a patent for its revolutionary Unboxed Process!

“The Factory is the Product” is the secret.
Here’s how it will work:

The system utilizes an automated assembly cell with fixtures corresponding to each exterior vehicle part and references a global datum for precise alignment. Exterior vehicle parts are secured to fixtures using vacuum clamps or other means, and a structural adhesive is applied to either the part or a part-receiving location on the vehicle assembly structure.

The parts are then moved into their nominal positions relative to the global datum, thereby compressing the adhesive and completing the installation. The method improves assembly efficiency by compensating for substructure irregularities with an engineered adhesive gap and allows for continued assembly during adhesive curing through tacking operations.

This technology streamlines the vehicle assembly process, enhances quality, and increases production rates by reducing manual labor and potential for error.

The first vehicle to take advantage of this process will be Cybercab, as production is slated for sometime in 2026.
