Do economic leftists ever stop and think about what it says that markets always give clear indications that their policies are disastrous? Like imagine supporting a candidate you know will tank the market. The universe is giving you objective feedback here. Take it!

Crime does disrupt the operation of one of the biggest benefits of cities: agglomeration effects. Urban crime is very worth worrying about. If people cannot or will not raise a family in a city, work and live in a city, relish the city, then we miss out on their potential.

A sobering chart for Europe - America wins by large margin. In comparison, European countries are piss poor, and for example taxed-to-death Finland is about 50% poorer than the US.

Argentiinassa karsittiin kerralla 31% julkisen sektorin turhaa, toissijaista ja taloudelle haitallista menoa. Nyt talous kasvaa ripeästi, köyhyys vähenee ja raju inflaatio on saatu kuriin. Meillä talous ei ole kasvanut 18 vuoteen. Tarvitsemme samanlaisen operaation täälläkin.

Reddit is fuming over the Grokipedia release, it's actually hilarious 😂

Economic freedom versus GDP per capita. You shouldn't be a socialist. Too bad there aren't countries even freer than Singapore, etc so we can see what would happen We should keep being more pro-market until we hit diminishing returns. We're not there yet.

Grokipedia will exceed Wikipedia by several orders of magnitude in breadth, depth and accuracy

People with graduate degree are the most willing to engage in political violence. I wonder if this awful statistic is due to self-selection or is something horribly wrong with the university education that *should* be completely apolitical to begin with?

“When you start paying people to be poor, you wind up with an awful lot of poor people.” — Milton Friedman

Data centres do not really use much water 👇

University students are becoming less and less smart. Simultaneously grades are hiking up. This is what happens when people are paying for the degree and not the skills they obtain while completing the degree

This is a good behavior and should be congratulated. People SHOULD update when there's strong new evidence, and we should not hold it against them for genuinely changing their views.

Advocating socialism is a luxury paid for by the successes of capitalism.

The rich actually pay more then their fair share of taxes

Most taxes are payed by the rich

I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.

One advantage of having many distinct sovereign nations instead of a single world government is that they can try different policies and we can see which work best.

What applies to companies, applies to nations too: we need to have freedom to try out what works best, and the best companies & minds will naturally migrate to the best of the nations.

Toimii liian hyvin. On yhdenvertaista, ettei mikään toimi ja siksi tuhotaan toimivat osat. Oikeasti. Yksikään älykäs ihminen ei korjaa toimivaa järjestelmää. Siksi työterveyshuoltoon ei kosketa.

Yliopistoista ei ole viime aikoina kantautunut iloisia uutisia. Poliitikkojen kotirauhan rikkominen ylioppilaskunnan pakkojäsenyyden takaamalla taloudellisella tuella ylittää kyllä jo viimesen rajan vaikka yksityishenkilönä olisi asioista kuinka eri mieltä mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/anar…
