Thanks to @BernieSanders for featuring me in your video on #taxes and #economicactivity.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

For years and years, Republicans have told us that if we just cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, working people will share in the prosperity. Wrong.

Trickle-down economics is a fraud. It's time for corporations to finally pay their fair share in taxes.

I'm old enough to remember when Google literally dropped their pledge to not be evil.

How does state power affect peace and markets? On the latest episode of the #HayekProgramPodcast, Christopher Coyne, Edward Stringham, and Donald J. Boudreaux explore Robert Higgs’s insights on state power, peaceful cooperation, and regime uncertainty. https://t.co/1QwmfFLnMB

To that list, universities should be added. Some are a vital cog in the censorship machine.

Don't credit a strong centralized state for inventing capitalism. Credit the Dutch merchants, laborers, sailors, whalers, and brewers, all led by an invisible hand. https://t.co/enLFbdpJr0 via @reason

Great piece from @edstringham

It's always the Dutch, seriously

Insta-order.

"This sort of economy, they show, was neither invented in 1776 nor inseparable from a strong state. It evolved, from the ground up, over centuries, and Dutch merchants were some of its most important pioneers."

When they try to excuse LockDown & their awful behavior w/ "BUT THE SCIENCE HAS CHANGED!" please remember Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt called out the entire scientific community in Spring 2020 for being a bunch of scared, captured bullies who refused to have a discussion:

Many of the issues bank regulators now face were predicted in this book!

Great chapter on deposit insurance. 😉

[Bloomberg Crypto @crypto]

Nasdaq expects to launch crypto safekeeping services this year, joining a growing pool of traditional finance firms moving into the sector after a spate of bankruptcies https://t.co/V7hStizmnS

I'm super excited to announce that @saifedean will be visiting El Salvador!

In May, the renowned author of The Bitcoin Standard will join us to lecture the students in our inaugural bitcoin devs education project: CUBO+

El Salvador is winning 🇸🇻🏆

This is yet more proof 👇

Deposit insurance is like quicksand: once governments step into it, they just end up getting in deeper, and deeper. The failures Dan mentions in his first tweet have themselves been blamed on Canada's decision to start ensuring bank deposits in 1967. 1/2

[Bitcoin Magazine @BitcoinMagazine]

$4.5 trillion Fidelity launched #Bitcoin trading for all clients and the Nasdaq just said it's about to offer #BTC custody, all amid the bear market.

Probably nothing.

I love bitcoiners

Public health's self-image: a discipline devoted to the well-being of the marginalized and poor.

Public health reality, exposed by its pandemic actions: a discipline devoted to trickle-down epidemiology and focused protection of the laptop class.

Nasdaq plans to launch #Bitcoin custody in June - Bloomberg 👏

"the county asked residents to report on people and entities not in compliance with the health orders through a special hotline and website. To encourage citizens to rat out offenders [the system granted] confidentiality to those who filed complaints."

Lockdown colonialism:
"Countries like India were [under] enormous pressure... @WHO's Feb. 25, 2020 report suggested that all nations should follow the Wuhan lockdown model... regardless of socio-economic conditions."

[Jay Bhattacharya @DrJBhattacharya]

Two lockdown facts:
1. Lockdowns happened because the laptop class thought it could isolate itself from society without facing economic harm.

2. Lockdowns failed because societies are deeply unequal and needed the essential working class to keep society going.

Politics aside, did indoor vaccine mandates work? My new op-ed for @thehill builds on my recent research and evaluates the evidence on the effects of these mandates. Please check it out:

"My thoughts were constantly occupied by the plight of the poor, and particularly of vulnerable children, who suffered during lockdowns."
