Daily Kos – by akadjianWhen economists talk about how a market “regulates itself,” what they mean is that markets reach an equilibrium between supply and demand.
This says nothing about whether or not this equilibrium will be a good thing for society. It simply states that if consumers choose what to buy and producers choose what to sell and how to produce it, the market settles on a product distribution and prices. Continue reading “25 Images of Markets “Regulating Themselves””

This stuff will not go away. Ever since I learned how to get six guys together with bows and arrows, start feeding the chickens and step away slowly while releasing arrows straight up into the sky; ever since I learned that one gun in every firing squad carries a blank; ever since I discovered that it took 52 000 rounds of live fire to kill one Viet Cong; ever since I learned that ’Thou Shalt Not Kill” is embedded in the brain of every human being, I have wondered how our ‘rulers’ get people to kill each other.

WTFRLY A little-noticed, almost nonchalant, article in the Columbus Dispatch last week portends substantial environmental and economic mischief.
The article notes that Scotts Company is going forward with plans to commercialize GMO Kentucky bluegrass. Mentioned in passing was that this grass, engineered for resistance to the herbicide glyphosate (AKA Roundup), is not regulated by USDA, and that company employees will begin planting the grass at their homes.

Canada Free Press – by Judi McLeod
If the entire Congress is willing to give President Barack Obama a pass on being a Marxist/Socialist, why shouldn’t the allegedly right-of-centre Fox News Corp. comfortably do the same thing?
Whitewashing the fact that top Fox guy Bill O’Reilly said of Marxist Obama: “He is not a bad guy. I think people misread him”, Fox News followed O’Reilly February 2nd interview by heaping praise on him for “asking the right questions”.
If there was any chance of Obama answering the “right questions”, he would never have shown up for the Fox interview. Continue reading “Can a Marxist who wants to take down the Free West really be “not a bad guy”?”

Yesterday, Washington’s official non-partisan bean-counter, the Congressional Budget Office, dropped a bomb. By 2024, says the CBO, Obamacare will reduce the size of the U.S. labor force by 2.5 million full-time-equivalent workers. That’s roughly triple what the CBO had estimated three years ago. Such a sizeable decline in the labor force will have substantial detrimental effects on the U.S. economic and fiscal picture. But the CBO wasn’t responsible for the most amazing thing that happened yesterday. That title belongs to the Obama White House, where Press Secretary Jay Carney claimed that 2.5 million Americans leaving the workforce was a good thing, because they would no longer be “trapped in a job.” Continue reading “White House: It’s A Good Thing That Obamacare Will Drive 2.5 Million Americans Out Of The Workforce”

ZeroHedge – by Tyler Durden If it seems like it was exactly a year ago that turmoiling retailer Radioshack shut down 500 stores due to lack of consumer interest in its wares (and or consumer disposable cash), it is because it was. So how does Radioshack demonstrate its morbid sense of humor on the one year anniversary of said announcement? Well, by closing another 500, or about 12% of the retailer’s total 4500 outlets currently in existence.
