Gifting Ourselves An Abundance Of Part-Time Jobs…

.. And therefore many more lifestyle choices and therefore FREEDOM…. Free at last, Freeatlast.
Brought over from Catallaxy:
The other day I was saying that ideas for solving this (alleged) problem ought to start with measures that reduce the footprint of government (the level of theft, the amount of inititation of physical force)…
And I suggested that you [...]

FEARLESS: But who even LOOKS like they may be able to fill his shoes?

Let us all weep……. FOR THE TOUGH GUY.
It seems that the Prince of Darkness drove a VERY hard bargain this time around.
He would not let TWO tough guys out of Hades…… Until he could get one gentleman, SO so much tougher then us all, to go down in their place…………..
I’ve worked through all the [...]

Boris Ends World Poverty Without Knowing It

Or at least if the implications of what he said were appreciated and applied world poverty would be greatly alleviated. This is what he said:
“The biggest problem is that when you know things will be cheaper tomorrow, then who will spend anything?”
If we have growth deflation the damage done by Keynesianism to savings in the [...]

Spring-Loaded All-Enemies Retaliation: The Machiavelli, Corleone, Codevilla Road To Peace And Security.

Or at least my version of it. One doesn’t want to put words in peoples mouths.
Summary:
Never allow for others to fight proxy war against your lads. Easier said then done. There are two features of trying to acheive this.
This one cribbed and further edited from Prodeo:

“Partly, but my road-to-Damascus conversion on the question [...]

I Say Let’s Smash The Sudanese (And The Rest Of Those Regimes)

Taken from Larvatus Prodeo where I appear as Lefty Elitist. I don’t think anyone will be confused.
Wars don’t tend to end by people talking. Wars tend to end when one side wins. If the Sudanese government wins that would mean genocide. So we ought to sponsor any faction that will fight them. That is any [...]

A Better Tomorrow: If It Aint Growth Deflation…..

Then it aint justice, it aint true Capitalism, its aint the real deal. And though people will see that on paper the policies are pretty right, in their hearts they will know that something is terribly wrong. They will know that it can never be Australia City. And though the banners and the neon signs [...]

A Priori And Burden Of Proof: Global Warming As Case Study

At the moment the left seems to be getting a lot of mileage through ring-craft alone. And one of the things we notice is the arbitrary hijacking of where the implicit burden of proof ought to be. Then they will use all their science and training in order to defend this high ground that they [...]

OI!!!!! Liberal Party!!!!!!!! I Don’t Think This Is TOO Much To Ask

It can be frustrating to listen to Prodos interviews. Because he comes up with great topics and terrific interviewees. But because he is a proselytiser (which is a good thing in this case) he tries to push them through the interview to make his points.
I remember him as being a hard man to make suggestions [...]

Growth Deflation Capitalism Has Natural Monetary Stabilisers

These natural-stabilisers are so good they would be better then Ben Bernanke even if we gave Ben a time machine and the gift of second sight.
This screed brought over from Gold Is Money:
Under an interventionist monetary policy the central bank tries to run tight money when growth is looking too high and easier money when [...]

Balancing Your Chair Down The Back Of Class

The American Federal Reserve has lifted interest rates about 15 times since June 2004. Our own Reserve Bank takes a similiarly dysfunctional ‘piano tuner’ approach. To see why this way of doing things is flawed and destabilizing read this post brought over from Catallaxy:
THE OVERPOWERING STUPIDITY OF THE WAY MONETARY POLICY IS RUN.
Most government policy [...]
