Who is smarter, Al Trewis or Moe Cashferme?. It's a trick question, folks. You don't have to be smart, when you have prices. As FA Hayek famously showed. This week, on TAITC: "The Price Whisperer. ".

Anyone who prefers a democracy to a republic is asking for a dictatorship. There are NO examples of successful democracy at scale. Not even Rousseau believed in that, and he believed in actual magic.

The US government is already preparing massive celebrations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for next July 4, the country’s semiquincentennial. It’s high time to scrap the antidemocratic system the framers bequeathed to us.

Yes, it reads like an indictment because it literally is one. D of I is a combo indictment / press release to explain why it is justified, in fact NECESSARY, that the colonies declare their independence. And then submits the charges in the indictment "to a candid world.".

So, @CurtisEyiogbe . #STLCards were 0 for Pittsburgh. I hate going 0 for Pittsburgh. They were 2 for 24 with RISP, and didn't even score on either of those 2. Pittsburgh is the second worst team in the entire NL. May be time to update again. .

This is standard Trump doctrine, also. Except the billionaire part, of course. But Trump seems honestly to believe that "trade is bad," meaning anything we buy from other countries helps them/ hurts us. Difference between Mamdani and @oren_cass is that Mamdani has a beard.

Mr. Mamdani seems to think the economy is a zero-sum game, where if you do better it must mean that I do worse. This is profoundly mistaken. While amassing their fortunes, billionaires make the rest of us richer, not poorer. My @FT column.

I understand that the rich white trust fund babies who grow up to write about "aesthetics" and have never had an actual "job" don't care about actual human choices. But this is still obviously a nonsense comparison, @cityaestheticss!.

Where do people go, given the choice?. Phoenix to work.Prague to vacation. I like Prague. But it's a museum, not a functioning economic system. It's better to be wealthy in Phoenix than poor in Prague. Or so the migration patterns suggest:

Well, yeah, because just like Marx said, business constantly tries to find ways to suppress wages. (aide whispers in ear). Okay, I want to take that back. These are GOVERNMENT workers. I don't see how that's possible. We all know that only PRIVATE business is greedy, right?.

Philadelphia's 9,000 blue-collar city workers are on strike after years of sacrifice. Despite keeping the city running, they earn just $46,000 on average while being forced to live in a city they can barely afford.

DDM is right about this. Fine to gain control of the border, nations do that. But reducing the frictions in attracting high skilled immigrants and workers is a part of the solution. Good for @DanielDiMartino for looking at the bigger picture.
