Governments destroy cash with all debt that they issue (inflation), commodities require constant attention and rotation, stocks are volatile and one cannot generally defeat the indexes, and by and large, assets depreciate. But as long as population is increasing property will rise in value. Hence … put your money in property and fine arts.

NRx provides the correct diagnosis but an impossible and undesirable cure. All but entrepreneurs seek to circumvent property, ownership, and meritocracy, and more and fewer and fewer people participate in risk. We hold back the tide. The tide is just awfully big now.

Awkward NRx insight: Fascist lunacy is far better tailored to popular acceptance than NRx. …

THE END OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
—““In other words, we’ll gut-punch the Americans, since it’s precisely intellectual property that is responsible for all their success and, above all, the domination of the Anglo-Saxon and Western world. And we’d strike a blow against this right,” explained Mikhail Emelyanov, the deputy chairman of the Duma’s Legislation Committee.”—
Duma: Russia must become a pirate state: Russian lawmakers mull stealing American intellectual property as response to U.S. sanctions
20:30, 13 April 2018, Reuters
Russian legislators have developed a plan to retaliate against the latest U.S. sanctions: transform Russia into a pirate state.
Draft legislation submitted to the State Duma on Friday would give the government the authority to waive copyright restrictions on select foreign products, “allowing” Russian enterprises to produce those goods without the consent of their patent holders abroad. “The exhaustion of exclusive rights,” lawmakers say, could be used against the U.S. and other hostile states, according to Meduza.
“In other words, we’ll gut-punch the Americans, since it’s precisely intellectual property that is responsible for all their success and, above all, the domination of the Anglo-Saxon and Western world. And we’d strike a blow against this right,” explained Mikhail Emelyanov, the deputy chairman of the Duma’s Legislation Committee.
The same draft bill would also grant the government the right to issue more restrictions on American imports (such as alcohol, tobacco, medicines, and foods), limit the work of international rating agencies in Russia, ban certain foreign software, prohibit foreigners from participating in privatizations, suspend cooperation in various sectors (including nuclear power, aviation, and rocketry), and more.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Russia set up an operational group in the Azov-Black Sea Territorial Administration of the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries to tackle the alleged “Ukrainian piracy,” following the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine unlawfully seized a Crimea-based Russian-flagged fishing vessel, which Kyiv says has violated a number of Ukrainian laws, including on the illegal crossing of Ukraine’s border.

But the origins of roman and common law traditions are the same: germanic sovereignty, and empirical resolution of disputes over property by reciprocity.

—” to be able to = have the freedom to = own the right to = be entitled to = own my personal body & mind. No ???”— No those things are not in any way equal. 1 – Able to: dependent on your ability to physically think, plan, and act. 2 – Have the freedom to: have purchased membership in a group that tolerates your consumption of opportunities to act in your self interest, as long as it is not contrary to the group’s interests. 3 – Possession is a fact, but ownership is determined by contract with others in the group that defends the order. 4 – A Right can only consist of a demand from a third party enforcer (insurer of last resort). The libertarian ethos of pastoralists “what I can get away with” is different from the sovereign ethos of landholders “what will not impost costs upon others”. This is why (((certain))) groups use polylogical ethics, and other groups lke northern europeans use logically consistent ethics. So the marxist -> postmodernist -> libertarian -> neocon spectrum uses many argumentative ’empty verbalisms’ that conflate the meaning of these terms in order to obscure their underlying lack of logical and empirical consistency. This is why the Crusoe’s island example is a constructive fallacy for the purpose of deception. The ocean forms the fortress walls of the island. The ghetto walls do the same in the city. And the borderlands that indefensible do the same in the countryside. But there are no territories not owned by empires. Only those that the empire grants certain privileges in order to encourage settlement by excess population unable to compete in more established areas.

No. Prices describe the relative coincidence of wants. Capital is subjectivity independent -it’s objective. Subjectivity is only relevant in determining whether an exchange is voluntary or coerced. It’s the only test of the truth of reporting and the absence of coercion.
