David Friedman: "The administration followed [the Keynesian] prescription, things didn't get better, so obviously the deficit was not big enough..."

the broken window fallacy

Thanks for flagging yourself for me.

Please get yourself to a therapist, before you end up hurting yourself or someone else. Libertarianism only ends up in tears.

Hardly.

Please stop posting stuff from Friedman.

You guys in the austrian school are not helping.

A Thorium Reactor, a completely safe, almost unlimited power source, that is totally useless for warfare... explained in 16 minutes...

I am not advocating for ethanol. I am only using it as an example where "the market" picked an inferior technology because a few hands could maintain control of it...

Don't display large negative karma numbers. Keep them internally; don't display them. Will make trolling less fun.

It's better to know just how negative someone is. Totals make sense.

We need to move to electric- or hydrogen-based cars.

Yep.

That's not the dimension over which the comparison was established.

It's about central control of the resource.

Cars were originally to be driven via ethanol until the "market" decided on the wisdom of centrally distributed gas.

President Obama has not done or proposed anything different than previous Democratic Presidents - so why the clamor by the Right that the end time is near because of Obama?

They're copying us. They realized when the world is really ending people get involved. They need to pretend the same thing to even get marginal levels of involvement on their side.

Thorium is worth (USD)0.25/gram. There's tons of it. The current reactor market is not profitable based on the energy resell, the money all comes from pre-preprocessing Uranium.

It's the ethanol vs petroleum, or Tesla vs Edison dilemma.

America has invested trillions in equalizing test scores among the races and genders. Measured by U.S. test scores, it has been a waste—an immense transfer of wealth from private citizens to an education industry that has grown bloated while failing us again and again.

Really? We have a trillion dollar float out the fed's over night window for the sake of a banking community that isn't lending and you are worried about the piddling sums that go to public education?

Really?

Outline your recommendation with links. And also supply some links to haterade. I haven't been monitoring some of the comments too closely.

It's probably better if we just collectively assemble our own list of likes/recommendations to people that want to learn more.

It's just a tutorial. You get all the stuff like Debian and GNU Social form Debian and GNU Social.

I think Digg 4 is a good example of what would happen if net neutrality went away.

Lazy money. Glad they walked away from the larger opportunity.
