QotD: "Conventional economists hold markets to far higher standards than they hold government. Markets 'fail' unless they’re optimal. Governments 'succeed' unless they’re on fire."
"Conventional economists hold markets to far higher standards than they hold government. Markets 'fail' unless they’re optimal. Governments 'succeed' unless they’re on fire. If this seems unfair, compare the standard definitions of 'market failure' and 'failed state.' Market failure exists whenever markets fall short of perfect efficiency. To be a failed state, in contrast, requires habitual disaster."
It's the same with religionists. They hold the proponents of science to an impossibly high standard while saying "It just happened" in defence of their own position.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
