“If the annual growth rate of America’s gross domestic product had been 1 percentage point lower between 1870 and 1990, America’s per capita GDP would be less than one-third its present level.” - David Schmidtz, *Social Welfare and Individual Responsibility* p. 61

A great episode of King of the Hill is the one where Hank begrudgingly joins a cooperative because it has the best butcher in Arlen and the other members are bewildered when he makes it profitable
Socialists will really be like, “You believe in capitalism? That pales in effectiveness to my strategy, establishing worker cooperatives,” and then not establish a worker cooperative
Free speech organizations that take a principled stance of ideological neutrality are not right wing; thinking that they are is probably a result of politically motivated reasoning—selectively ignoring defenses of the left and focusing on defenses of the right
Psyched for another round of “the free speech crowd says nothing” from people who don’t bother to look.

Why are worker’s cooperatives so rare? This is not a trivial question — because they can pay “dividends” in the form of wages, they can entirely avoid corporate income tax. They must be so inefficient by nature of their structure to outweigh their advantages.
@jervoris Why, in general, there shouldn’t be public-sector unions: 1. There is no surplus value for a union in the public sector to capture. It’s just taxpayer-funded rent seeking.
“When we empower the state to regulate speech, those with less power will be made worse off” is an equally legitimate concern about empowering the state to regulate the economy
It doesn’t seem like suspending a dissenting voice is the right way to respond to the accusation that your organization is unfriendly to dissenting voices
Sadly this isn’t the case, but it can be if we reform occupational licensing
We don’t need government licensing to ensure quality—private certification does the job just as well, if not better

Why are protestors targeting people who have no ability to enact the changes they’re demanding? Because the point of many of these protests isn’t to enact change but rather to experience a sense of belonging and express a social identity

Most people are highly motivated to deny any contradiction in their beliefs, especially beliefs that form their identity, like politics. They argue and deny like their life depends on it because the death of that belief is partly the death of their persona.
