  • Interesting how the MORAL people who CHOOSE to sacrifice something ELSE in order

    Interesting how the MORAL people who CHOOSE to sacrifice something ELSE in order to have health care, are now paying for the IMMORAL PEOPLE who CHOSE something OTHER than health care.

    It is not that health care is ‘unaffordable’. It’s that health care is something you would prefer to spend your marginal income on LESS than whatever you spend it on, such as your own apartment, your car, your entertainment. etc.

    I won’t go into all the incentives here, but if you made a law that you had to have health care or you couldn’t drive, couldn’t vote, couldn’t collect social security or anything else for that matter – and that you had to ‘earn’ your redistribution by ‘beautifying the country’ (cleaning it up and maintaining the commons) then that would make perfect sense to me.

    But everything we do in the statist empire is to create every immoral malincentive possible to encourage the free-riding that the west worked so hard to stamp out.

    Dear House and Garden.

    I’m all in favor of the Small House trend. I really don’t understand the whole purpose of half empty mc-mansions. I mean, living in a 3500 square foot house is actually kind of frustrating. You must clean and maintain it.

    So advocating small homes is a reasonable good idea- and we can always make them bigger – like everyone before us did for the past ten thousand years. But small lots are not a good idea. All they do is drive up the price of everything, encourage fences, and increase the wear and tear on infrastructure. Close neighbors are more likely to be unpleasant neighbors.

    So while I understand it, this is one of those things that if you encourage something bad, you’re complicit in it. Below a quarter acre is a bad idea, and below a half acre is probably the minimum.

    There is construction going on across the street on a wonderful old brick building that’s being brought up to date. When they aren’t using power tools it’s actually fun to listen to the banter.

    Today, some guy randomly is shouting, in very clear and passionate Russian “Mother F___r!”, on a semi random basis.

    We all laugh every time.

    I just really like this meme. Our job as libertarians is not to be the majority – we cant be. It’s to be intellectual arms dealers to anyone who opposes the totalitarian state. That is a really good meme. It’s a really good meme.

    (Interesting)

    Data shows Roma ( gypsies ) are incrementally settling down and slightly decreasing endogamy. ( this i don’t understand yet.)

    Egyptians remain obsessively inbred.

    American jews continue outbreeding. Bias male of course. (!) But mild.

    However if we take white-asian and black-hispanic groups as mutually beneficial, then the 15% exogamy rate drops to insignificance.

    Humans are fascinating.
