@dugmartsch @cafreiman Yes and a ham and cheese sandwich tastes better than a cheese and ham sandwich. Everyone knows that.

There’s a really important difference in that the price goes down. It’s how companies have done “surge pricing” forever and it’s a great system. Going the other way only works in markets that are super dynamic and can use the price signal to get immediate supply. Consumers tolerate that.

Surge pricing opponents when they learn about happy hours and matinee discounts

@AnthonyLipke @cafreiman 'You can't use pricing I formation to make decisions for his way'. Do you know how stupid you sound?

@cafreiman When it's gouging based on need and when it's particularly targeting an individual ability to pay That's pretty predatory. Better to treat all customers equally. I don't like regional pricing on media either. You can't use pricing information to make decisions this way.

@cafreiman 'Surge pricing' is just a marketing mistake. They should have called it 'normal pricing' and called normal pricing 'discount pricing'.

@HonestBath @RobBfromDerby You're not paying attention.

@RobBfromDerby It’s such nonsense they all talk about having to apologise for this stuff, who is asking them to apologise. Why have I never been asked to apologise or anyone I know asked, are they getting confused with being asked to say sorry for being racist, or generally arse holes ?

Who has ever had to apologise foe being British? 😂

@PaulSculli78406 @RobBfromDerby Not asked, no. It's demanded. And were demanded to pay reparations too.

@RobBfromDerby Not one single solitary person as ever been asked or ever have apologised it’s all deliberate fantasy

@Beohrtnoth @RobBfromDerby This is exactly what she's taking about.

@RobBfromDerby She means she has had enough of apologising for being a bigot.

@slipperylilsnek @RobBfromDerby So you do apologise for being. British.

@RobBfromDerby Scottish people, Northern Irish people and the Welsh. It’s a constant cycle of “sorry- yeah sorry uh we’re not English we don’t vote on what goes in the museums, what that war crime? Yeah sorry no we uhhh we don’t get a say in that either”

@CiceroModern @steve_hanke Are you by any chance a Trump supporter?

@steve_hanke So now you're an international law expert, Steve? I've followed you enough to know what an inflated view of yourself you seem to have, but this is a new level of hubris.

BREAKING: If Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz in 48 hours, Trump threatens to strike Iran's power plants. SUCH AN ATTACK IS GETTING CLOSE, IF NOT INTO, THE WAR CRIMES ZONE.

@MarkHubbard33 @steve_hanke Ooh, tough guy.

@steve_hanke Bullshit. Iran is one big 47 year long war bloody crime. Weasels like you are the end of the West.

@NotTrumpFan @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute And it's not just about what's right or wrong. Markets work better. On the level of pure economic analysis markets provide prosperity better than government ministries. If you want to know more, read Friedman's many books.

@iey0beeW @ColtMail @CatoInstitute Reasonable yes, but not popular at all …

Lower taxes mean more freedom, more choice, and more opportunity. When government takes less, people can do more. Let’s remind ourselves of the wisdom of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman.

@NotTrumpFan @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute Just ask grok. It's been widely written about. Roads are a private good so it's really a non-issue. And tolls are a valid system. People don't 'like' paying taxes either.

@ColtMail @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute And no one here has yet to answer the question of how to pay for one of the more commons works - the roads we all use … Why are you all avoiding answering ??? If not through taxes or tolls, how ???

@NotTrumpFan @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute You don't know anything about this subject .

@ColtMail @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute Doesn’t mean he was right or correct … just means a lot of people who agreed with him might be, or are, were, wrong ..

@tom_ealey @CatoInstitute If that was all states spent taxes on I don't think there would be much of a libertarian movement.

@CatoInstitute more potholes, diriter water, fewer police utopia

@ShineboxHukster @CatoInstitute Friedman rejected the label 'conservative', preferring 'libertarian'. Also, Cato is note 'woke'. You sound like a redneck.

@CatoInstitute Stop trying to pretend your organization hasn’t gone woke w/ facile quote from famous conservative economists.

@fiat_money @CatoInstitute Is this a joke?

@NotTrumpFan @iey0beeW @CatoInstitute You are obviously new to this subject. Milton Friedman was a Nobel Prize winner and is remembered as one of the all time greats of economics and the preeminent economist of the late 20th C.

@iey0beeW @CatoInstitute I want to know how you propose to pay for, say, roads without “taxes”? We know people don’t like to pay “tolls” for public or private roads … So, how exactly ?

@eda1970 @CatoInstitute Both.

@CatoInstitute Well which is it? Immigrants to the U.S. are a boon to the economy or we need lower taxes?

@NickDixon Socialists too though.

She actually tried to compare Danny Kruger to Mosley because they both went to Eton lol. The kicker is Mosley didn’t even go to Eton. Nor was his wedding arranged by Göring, for that matter. Yet her remarkable self-confidence will not be dented.

@IamChrisAvery @DCPatriot715 @PeterSchiff What about gold miners?

@DCPatriot715 @PeterSchiff Gold produces zero cash flow, services or products. Commodities trade on supply and demand. Buy real investments.

Postponed rate cuts are not bearish for gold. Traders still don't realize that Powell's tough talk is based on the false premise of a strong U.S. economy. Even as inflation soars, once higher rates push an already weak economy into recession, he'll be singing a different tune.

@SoloBitcoiner @PeterSchiff Sure

@PeterSchiff I have 30 kilos of gold and im trying to escape Iran, I now have to sell all my gold at a loss because they wouldn’t let me through customs. Wish I had something easier to transfer like digital gold

Not sure what's more surprising, that gold is down so much or that Bitcoin is down so little. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth HODLers. Just sell your Bitcoin now and buy gold! schiffgold.com
