@jeffdeist what's the lesson for libertarians? Is a pragmatic authoritarian regime that respects property rights better than "free" society with no order or safety?
@RolfHaltza@PerBylund@BobMurphyEcon But ancient people would still balk at the standard of living even our poor have today. And even in our debt based economy no one would choose the difficulty of a subsistence life. Flipping burgers still provides more access to food and shelter than trying to do do those yourself
@RolfHaltza@PerBylund@BobMurphyEcon My suspicion is there wasn't this simple subsistence model in Jesus' time like you describe. People worked and exchanged labor for money to purchase goods and shelter.
Your angle on debt slavery is still interesting nonetheless. 1/
@nick_matau@joekent16jan19@TuckerCarlson Hi. Nuclear Engineer here. You're gonna need to back up that position. Iran clearly had a hedged position with lots of HEU that would decrease their breakout time if they decided to make a weapon. But there was no evidence of an active weapons program.
@ConceptualJames what did his other 2 tweets say after that? Joe is nothing but consistent. I love when chicken hawks who put nothing on the line try to lecture real warfighters.
