Does posting SpongeBob memes on social media influence policy changes? James Hohman discussed this with @senatorshoshana from the @RSI, who believes it does.
There's no reason you shouldn't be able to buy cars direct from manufacturers. It would increase competition and lower prices
Eliminating outdated regulations on car dealers and manufacturers could bring around 2 million more vehicles to market, lowering average car prices by about 8%. That’s over $3,500 off the price of an average new car.
Once you understand that state ABC stores are government money laundering schemes first and liquor-sellers a distant second (at best!), this makes more sense.
Michigan lost a million dollars of liquor, didn't do inspections on itself, had no idea how inventory works. No yeah state run liquor stores are going great @reason
Government staff called me up last week to tell me how important my work is and that people only realized a thing was a problem because I wrote about it. Few things fill me with such pride and I love knowing when my work matters 🥹
I want to give a BIG Shout-Out to my colleagues at my former stomping grounds at @ShowMeInstitute for the win last night. The Free-Market faction across the state line have been sounding the alarm on public subsidies for #EcoDevo for years. Last night, the message finally…
Can I get bereavement leave for this? I’m going to need several moments
It happened, it finally happened. Good night to a king!
Thought I had a beautiful, peaceful encounter with an owl on an afternoon hike. Upon review, may have actually been cursed for this and several future lives.
James is far too pessimistic about the CHIPS Act becoming a failure. Rent-seekers will cash their subsidy checks and people at the Commerce Department will get to write a bunch of new rules, so I think that - by the standards of industrial policy - it will be entirely successful.
The semiconductor plant subsidies aren't going to work. And there will be no political consequences for their failure.
