@Airaasayss There are 17 holes in total. 1 for the head. 4 for the sleeves from the inside holes to put your arms in and the outside arm hole for the sleeve. The one for the body to go through. Then front and back holes is 12 for the front fabric and back fabric = 17 holes in total.

quantitative easing is monetary inflation by another name

central bank asset purchases expand the monetary base while suppressing interest rates

this creates asset price bubbles and wealth inequality while claiming to stimulate economic growth

[Milton Friedman Daily @MiltonFriedmanW]

Government = spending someone else’s money on others

The result: very little incentive to care about either cost or quality.

The higher the tax burden on the rich, the higher the cost burden on the poor.

Politicians love to skip straight to demanding more tax revenue,
while skipping over the part where their policies created the problems in the first place or made existing ones worse.

UK can keep more oil for domestic benefit in theory (via policy changes), and can create a national fund from revenues—there are no overriding international barriers preventing either. But the current privatised licensing system, global market dynamics, and historical policy choices make full “national reservation” challenging without major reforms, and a Norway-style fund would require sustained surpluses and saving discipline that past governments did not apply.

The UK government owns the mineral rights to oil and gas in the North Sea under the Petroleum Act 1998 and related legislation, which vests ownership in the Crown (and thus the state) on the UK Continental Shelf. The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) grants licences to private companies for exploration and production, but the oil extracted belongs to those licence holders (typically multinational oil companies), not directly to the state.

[jaycee @LibertarianJon]

@Telegraph There are no major international treaties or agreements (such as with the EU post-Brexit, Norway, or others) that force the UK to export North Sea oil or prevent reserving it for domestic use.

So you know how hospitals cost a fucking fortune, right? Well, back in 1964, New York basically invented this brilliant idea called "certificate of need" laws. The state said hospitals couldn't expand or build new facilities without government permission - you know, to control costs and prevent "wasteful duplication." (Because nothing says efficiency like bureaucrats deciding where sick people can get treatment.)

The feds loved this shit so much that by 1974, they were bribing states with Medicare dollars to adopt these laws nationwide. By 1982, almost every state had jumped on board. Then something hilarious happened - the federal government looked around in the '80s, realized these laws were actually making healthcare MORE expensive (shocking!), and repealed the federal requirements in 1987.

But here's where it gets really good. Thirty-five states just kept their certificate of need laws anyway, because why give up power once you've got it? Today, if you want to open a hospital in North Carolina or build an MRI center in Virginia, you've got to prove to some panel of bureaucrats that your community "needs" it. Meanwhile, the 15 states that ditched these laws? They've got more hospitals, lower prices, and better access to care.

You're literally sitting in a state where the government decides whether you deserve a nearby hospital based on their fucking spreadsheets. And we wonder why an ambulance ride costs more than a used car.

We all have bacteria causing meningitis why not all develop it?

@angelovalidiya @SkyNews The PCR tests have too much room for false positive or false negatives too, right?

Mises understood that naturally falling prices signal a healthy, growing economy where productivity gains benefit everyone through increased purchasing power. But central banks have convinced the world that 2% inflation is somehow optimal -- a complete inversion of economic reality.

[jaycee @LibertarianJon]

@Handre Same for all central Banks

Regulations exist to "protect consumers." But they systematically favor established players over upstarts.

Licensing requirements?
Barriers to entry that cartelize industries.

Safety standards?
Written by incumbents to crush competitors.

Every "consumer protection" law makes products more expensive and innovation harder. The FDA delays life-saving drugs for decades. Occupational licensing keeps poor people from earning honest livings.

Regulations create the very problems they claim to solve—then demand more regulations as the cure. Free markets were never the problem.

If we could scrap 90% of regulations right now, the world would flourish.
