Better Elections Through Education

Citizens should not be able to vote in an election unless they watch a ~15 minute online video speech by each candidate. Perhaps there should be verification that they paid attention, either by administering a 3 question basic quiz of what the candidate said (probably put together by the candidate?), or by facial verification.

Hopefully this would remove the name recognition component of elections and remove the Bushes, Clintons, Trumps from power.

Perfect competition is when all parties are free to transact or not transact as they please and information on prices is clear to everyone. Perfect competition is the best possible scenario for consumers (you and I, our families, and our friends) because it means we always get the best value for services and goods we buy.… read more “Free Markets Need Perfect Competition”

Stop Government Handouts

Government handouts destroy the motivation of corporations and individuals to do better.

When corporations go bankrupt, it seems like a sad event, but in reality it is clearing market room for new entries to be able to start up and take share. Instead of allowing corporations to go bankrupt in the 2007 market crash and in the 2020 market crash, we have given them massive government handouts.… read more “Stop Government Handouts”
