The only solution is a market for resources. How would you implement a market for resources within a firm, though?

I disagree. It's just another housing bubble. That should be bleeding obvious from looking at the article's FRED chart. Scarcity was not suspended from 2007-2012 when the previous bubble collapsed and brought housing prices down t

I wonder what it sold for, besides the trinkets mentioned at the end. If they had hodled they could clear maybe a trillion on the open market today (which consists of sovereign states). Highly enriched U-235 would also be a sound basis for

So you're saying that people should not be allowed to build log cabins because they don't contribute to your definition of acceptable housing stock? What if someone would prefer to live in a log cabin than commie block apartment

I find your views so illogical that I can only conclude that you're trolling.

Dude, it's a cabin. It's made out of logs. You should at least be able to opt-out. If you're concerned about resale value then you can pursue a NACHI seal of approval. You should be free to drive a car with friggin spikes on

Then why can't you build a perfectly fine cabin on your own rural property without government inspectors coming around and micromanaging. US/Canadian automobiles are also needlessly expensive, there are many awesome vehicles sold

Do they really? You can just build a factory in your back yard and pursue the American Dream? Or do they still effectively have zoning laws?

There is zero technical reason why housing can't be cheap as hell in this day and age. It's all due to government restrictions. And I'm not talking about shanty towns either - that's what you get when legal housing is

Regulations such as zoning are enormous social experiments. Experiments should have control groups! Where are the control group cities? Why do experimental social regulations have to be universal ? Would life without them be great? Would i

Dude, 4GB of RAM? Sure, it's fine for the software I write. But what about normal people?

Okay, buddy, we have this thing called the Internet now. It's a magical place where you can be anonymous and say whatever the fuck you want. The cat has left the bag. All restrictive speech laws do now is push dissidents underground in

I keep hearing this a lot, but how do "we as a society" have a "conversation" about something, exactly? Twitter?

What if you live in a closed bartering community of abstract economic business entities and everything is a cost basis for something else?

Perhaps there is a way to pay for these things besides taxes? Unthinkable!

I'm a fan of some, but it's a subjective thing, isn't it? Don't you think that maybe perhaps some of the "auction prices" and "appraisals" are a bit more "objective"? Can nobody on this webs

Technically everything is a cost, though, right?

Art sales and donations are used for money laundering and tax evasion. That's why the quality of art has no relation to its price anymore. Modern art streamlined this business (since it can be mass produced quickly) and NFTs streamline

So the income tax is essentially a ~30% transaction fee. Imagine a world without that deadweight loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss#Deadweight_los...
