For years and years, Republicans have told us that if we just cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations, working people will share in the prosperity. Wrong.
Trickle-down economics is a fraud. It's time for corporations to finally pay their fair share in taxes.

To that list, universities should be added. Some are a vital cog in the censorship machine.

The censorship regime -- a conspiracy of government, large corporations, and the media -- is an unspeakably massive threat to civilization.

Don't credit a strong centralized state for inventing capitalism. Credit the Dutch merchants, laborers, sailors, whalers, and brewers, all led by an invisible hand. reason.com/2023/06/17/how-th… via @reason

It's always the Dutch, seriously
Insta-order.
"This sort of economy, they show, was neither invented in 1776 nor inseparable from a strong state. It evolved, from the ground up, over centuries, and Dutch merchants were some of its most important pioneers."

When they try to excuse LockDown & their awful behavior w/ "BUT THE SCIENCE HAS CHANGED!" please remember Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt called out the entire scientific community in Spring 2020 for being a bunch of scared, captured bullies who refused to have a discussion:

Many of the issues bank regulators now face were predicted in this book!
Great chapter on deposit insurance. 😉

Was just flipping through the (quite excellent) book on financial regulation that @HesterPeirce & @BenKlutsey edited for @mercatus in 2016 and realized that there are zero index entries for ESG (or CSR or SRI). Inconceivable today, just 7 years later:

Deposit insurance is like quicksand: once governments step into it, they just end up getting in deeper, and deeper. The failures Dan mentions in his first tweet have themselves been blamed on Canada's decision to start ensuring bank deposits in 1967. 1/2
24 Mar 2023
Two Canadian banks failed in 1985. Together, they amounted to only about 1% of the total banking sector, but political pressures and worry about contagion lead the gov't and Bank of Canada to step in and protect their uninsured depositors. Short 🧵

Public health's self-image: a discipline devoted to the well-being of the marginalized and poor.
Public health reality, exposed by its pandemic actions: a discipline devoted to trickle-down epidemiology and focused protection of the laptop class.

"the county asked residents to report on people and entities not in compliance with the health orders through a special hotline and website. To encourage citizens to rat out offenders [the system granted] confidentiality to those who filed complaints."

Lockdown colonialism:
"Countries like India were [under] enormous pressure... @WHO's Feb. 25, 2020 report suggested that all nations should follow the Wuhan lockdown model... regardless of socio-economic conditions."

Two lockdown facts:
1. Lockdowns happened because the laptop class thought it could isolate itself from society without facing economic harm.
2. Lockdowns failed because societies are deeply unequal and needed the essential working class to keep society going.
