I never realized how uncanny the Barney suit actually is until now. Like imagine if the camera got too close to his mouth and saw some dude holding onto a bar with his jaw. Almost looks like a Saw trap. Source: @zackdfilms1, X #Memestr #DankMemes #NostrMeme #NostrMemes #Nostr #Video #Videostr

The argument against taxation isn't just that taxation is theft, but that the government is the least qualified to fulfill the happiness of each person.

Under free enterprise, the members have incentives to act the best or suffer the consequences. But under bureaucracy, these incentives vanish, leading to deterioration and inefficiency.

The government does not create wealth, rather it expropriates and transfers wealth to somebody else.

"In the economy, an act, a habit, an institution, a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects. Of these effects, the first only is immediate; it manifests itself simultaneously with its cause—it is seen. The others unfold in succession—they are not seen: it is well for us if they are foreseen. Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference—the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen and also of those which it is necessary to foresee." - Frédéric Bastiat, "That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen" (1850), ***The Bastiat Collection*** (2007) p. 1 https://mises.org/library/book/bastiat-collection #Agorism #AnCap #Libertarian #Antistate #AustrianEconomics #TaxationIsTheft #OpportunityCost #Bastiat #Quotestr

Remember: It's not the benefits from the policies that matter, but the potential opportunities that are removed as a result of said policies that matter.

It's so surprising to me that Chuck Grassley will end up outliving Graham and McConnell. #Memestr #DankMemes #NostrMeme #NostrMemes #Nostr #Plebchain #Zap

"The modern state is built upon the ruins of feudalism. It substituted bureaucratic management of public affairs for the supremacy of a multitude of petty princes and counts." - Ludwig von Mises, ***Bureaucracy*** (1944) p. 15 https://mises.org/library/book/bureaucracy #Agorism #Agorist #Libertarian #Antistate #Statism #Feudalism #Bureaucracy #Quotestr

The SAVE America Act isn't so much about whether noncitizens can vote or not in elections, but rather it's more about who has skin in the game compared to not when it comes to Election Day. I don't support this Act not only because of the privacy implications, but because I don't see it going far enough. As long as the State and its enablers i.e the tax-consumer class, are still allowed to vote, the root cause of the welfare state still exists. You gotta look at the incentives. Ideally, I don't think anybody should be permitted to vote (or rule), but if I had to choose, it's best to leave the decisions to the taxpayer class. What are your thoughts?

Lunacy. Is it just me or does it feel like the plandemic was a fever dream now that so many years have passed? #Memestr #DankMemes #NostrMeme #NostrMemes #Nostr #Plebchain #Zap

Happy birthday to the creator of imputation and opportunity cost!

They talk about Family Feud but my family is always in a feud.
