AOC is Dumber Than I Thought: Minimum Wage Edition

by Keith Knight | Jan 7, 2023 | Blog, Uncategorized

Progressives will admit higher prices hurt those with the lowest incomes, but when it comes to raising the price of labor they ignore that very economic reality: Charging more for X discourages X from being consumed. When you raise the price of employing someone: Fewer people will be employed, smaller businesses will be hurt disproportionately, low skilled employees will not get a chance to get their foot in the door, people with little experience will not get opportunities or on the job experiences, oligopolies will result meaning fewer options for consumers and employees and higher costs...

by Keith Knight | Jan 2, 2023 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/pONdewnuFYs Excerpt from Knowledge, Reality, and Value: A Mostly Common Sense Guide to Philosophy by Michael Huemer, Ph.D. Credulity Humans are born credulous – we instinctively believe what people tell us, even with no corroboration. We are especially credulous about statistics or other information that sounds like objective facts. Unfortunately, we are not so scrupulous when it comes to accurately and non-misleadingly reporting facts. There is an enormous amount of disinformation in the world, particularly about politics and other matters of public interest. If the public...

by Keith Knight | Dec 31, 2022 | Blog, Libertarian Institute Roundtable

https://youtu.be/K2-ME6D1bB0 If the government didn't have a monopoly on security, only rich people would be able to have security just like when the government got out of other businesses, the only cars produced were limousines, the only clothes produced were tuxedos and the only food produced was foie gras. - Michael Malice

Debunking Left & Right Wing Socialism (feat. Dave Smith)

by Keith Knight | Dec 30, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/KvPKGOTz4mw There exist two blatant contradictions which roughly ninety-nine percent of intellectuals, journalists, and voters erroneously believe. On the one hand, they say that the free market must be regulated in order to prevent monopolies. It is assumed that these monopolies would have such great power over the market that their customers would be forced to settle for products far more expensive than, and inferior to, those that would be offered under competitive market conditions. On the other hand, these intellectuals, journalists, and voters explicitly advocate that...

My Body My Choice: Abolish the FDA

by Keith Knight | Dec 17, 2022 | Blog, Uncategorized

If you visit FDA.gov you will find a section titled "products we regulate". Such products include: food, drugs, medical devices, tobacco, cosmetics, and vaccines. The word "regulate" in this case translates to "we have a legal monopoly on what consenting adults can sell and put in their bodies. If someone does not obey our arbitrary standards they will be arrested by the police, separated from their families, and shot if they resist the police." I have nothing against voluntarily funded stamp of approval agencies such as Underwriters Laboratory since people can choose to opt out of...

Marco Rubio is Dumber Than I Thought

by Keith Knight | Dec 15, 2022 | Blog

After spending six years complaining about "BigTech Monopolies" Marco Rubio now want's to ban BigTech competitors. It doesn't matter that tens of millions of Americans voluntarily choose to use TikTok, or that thousands make a living using this product. Marco Rubio believes he owns your body, your time, and the property you worked to acquire. The American Declaration of Independence answer to TikTok: If people don't want the app, they have the right not to use it. If people want to use it, they can. My phone my choice, my time my choice, my body my choice, & my money Slavery Lover Rubio....

by Keith Knight | Dec 11, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/uFZGyyhf03c [T]he state's power to engage in national security policy making is a "master key" because it "opens all doors including the doors that might otherwise obstruct the government's invasion of our most cherished rights to life liberty and property." - Christopher J. Coyne, In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Folly of American Empire and the Paths to Peace (p. 39) Christopher Coyne is Professor of Economics at George Mason University and the Associate Director of the F.
