Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Rather than cutting SNAP, let's just impose a "cheap labor vulture" tax on Walton family to pay for the SNAP subsidy they rely on.

      @emptywheel then another company complying with the law would take advantage of the subsidy to workers who earn little.

      @cal_abel You are basically BOTH advocating slavery (unpaid work) AND free subsidies to billionaires.

      @emptywheel What are the competitive constraints that those billionaire business owners face?

      @cal_abel Very little. Which is part of problem. Libertarians supposed to support MARKETS not oligopolists, an enormous threat to freedom.

      @cal_abel Again, you're very cute. But your theories involve unicorns, not oligopolists.

      @emptywheel My point centers around Hayek's, 1947 paper http://emilyskarbek.com/uploads/The_Use_of_Knowledge_in_Society_-_Hayek.pdf … well worth the read.

      @cal_abel Yes. I know where your unicorns come from. They're still unicorns that serve interests of freedom-destroying oligopolists.

          @emptywheel Your unicorn comes form the idea that you and others can presume to know what is best for all. Just a tad arrogant.

          @cal_abel Hey, you're saying that subsidizing billionaires is better for us. That's even more arrogant.

          @emptywheel Wealth is created through the value that they added to society, Their accumulated wealth << value in society, pie is bigger

          @cal_abel Wait, you're in the NUKE industry? One of the classic cases of externalized costs? Wow, you're the classic teat-sucker. Stunning.

          @emptywheel #nuclear is a case of over regulation of presumption of unlimited regulatory warrant without technical justification.

          @cal_abel I see how you'd like to say that to avoid admitting you're a teat sucker. But it is self-delusion, welfare queen.

          @emptywheel Accusations without data. I provided two examples of internalization. What EXAMPLES of exernalities can you provide?

          @cal_abel The entire question is nonsense. Just so absurd as to be below even asking. Suck away, Hayek lover!
