by Keith Knight | Sep 2, 2024 | Blog

Domestic Imperialists used the coercive apparatus of the state to stop hundreds of millions of people from enjoying their lives for years. Surely, we should see a great utilitarian benefit from these COVID lockdown policies and mask mandates. Why was it, that states like Florida and California, which had drastically different policies, had no discernible difference in COVID deaths*? This would have been a great opportunity for Progressives to advocate the Keto and Carnivore diet, considering obesity was clearly correlated with COVID deaths, but such a policy would not have justified massive...

The formula is nearly always enemy X has a plot to take over the world, only a mass murder campaign of conscripts and civilians can save us. Consider the destruction of Japan in the Second World War.

https://youtu.be/aPm2dMD7FSE The standard theory of monopoly within the mainstream of the economics profession is that monopolies increase prices and reduce production levels compared to competitive industries. So I gathered historical economic data on prices and production for seventeen of the industries accused of monopolization during the congressional debates over the Sherman Act. Surprisingly, no other economist had apparently ever done this! What I found was that while real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) increased by about 24 percent from 1880 to 1890, the industries...
