Check up on FFL law.

2020-12-22 20:29:04 UTC  

There would still be a constitution. Can’t be that much worse than legislatures. I am speaking merely on a state level though.

2020-12-22 20:29:45 UTC  

I understand. As I said Mixed.

2020-12-22 20:30:46 UTC  

Sometimes the Easy or Obvious has unexpected Outcomes?

2020-12-22 20:31:51 UTC  

Instant Gratification can be misleading.

2020-12-22 20:33:25 UTC  

That is why Economics is called the second order science

2020-12-22 20:33:32 UTC  

Pre-86 is legal for people without FFLs.

2020-12-22 20:33:39 UTC  

I believe the Patriot Act was Instant Gratification based upon Fear as an Example.

2020-12-22 20:34:21 UTC  

But it’s almost always better to err on the side of no regulation and let people organizes themselves privately

2020-12-22 20:35:13 UTC  

Seems like the FFL is giving up a lot of rights also. I mean you get my point. People may not agree but I am not in favor of licensing or background checks generally.

2020-12-22 20:35:39 UTC  

The patriot act was awful. 10/10 would not endorse.

2020-12-22 20:36:46 UTC  

It seemed like a good idea at the time for many though!

2020-12-22 20:36:59 UTC  

Unfortunately

2020-12-22 20:36:59 UTC  

I mean, you're a patriot right?

2020-12-22 20:37:23 UTC  

They did the same thing with undermining the message behind the net neutrality deal.

2020-12-22 20:37:58 UTC  

"Save The Puppies" could just be Creative Marketing?

"You don't have to worry if you have nothing to hide." - Obummer.

2020-12-22 20:39:40 UTC  

"Like your Doctor, keep your Doctor"?

2020-12-22 20:39:49 UTC  

I was against net neutrality. And my Facebook friends hated me

2020-12-22 20:40:16 UTC  

I'm from the Government and I'm here to Help!

2020-12-22 20:41:08 UTC  

Do you want to go on Jerry Springer with me?

2020-12-22 20:41:36 UTC  

It's an all paid trip!

2020-12-22 20:42:16 UTC  

Politicians are such scammers. “My job is to make up rules I don’t follow”

2020-12-22 20:42:42 UTC  

Yepper. They make up rules you want, but they're 100% above the law themselves.

2020-12-22 20:42:48 UTC  

As much as they say they're not.

2020-12-22 20:43:41 UTC  

Do you know that Congress is exempt from the ADA (Act)?

2020-12-22 20:45:21 UTC  

I wish I could determine my Pay Raise and Vote on it?

2020-12-22 20:47:23 UTC  

Yeah that is crazy

2020-12-22 20:47:57 UTC  

I'm not complaining. Tenure is a Sweet Deal.

2020-12-22 20:52:12 UTC  

I think tenure and subsidized loans have turned university into a pyramid scheme.

2020-12-22 20:53:13 UTC  

Off topic 😂

2020-12-22 20:54:05 UTC  

Maybe if your Phd is in Lesbian Dance Theory?

2020-12-22 20:56:03 UTC  

Agreed. I mean our GTAs went on strike once and I spoke with some of them. The Econ, computer science and math GTAs all got paid well. It was other departments that suffered.

2020-12-22 20:58:56 UTC  

That may be a Million Dollar Question. How does one place a Value on Labor?

2020-12-22 21:06:55 UTC  

Market prices are the convergence of all opinions on that very question.

2020-12-22 21:07:47 UTC  

So imo it’s been sufficiently answered. But I guess the GTAs disagreed.

2020-12-22 21:08:49 UTC  

If that is True? What is the need for a Minimum Wage?

2020-12-22 21:13:13 UTC  

Makes people feel better. Minimum wage leads to unemployment and/or smaller job markets. There are a couple studies contesting this but they are disingenuous. The only reason economist are not unanimous as they used to be is because they realized that they were funded by politicians and that being outspoken made them less likely to get fundings as well as disliked by other campus colleagues.

2020-12-22 21:14:31 UTC  

Minimum wage is one of the most institutionally racist policies we have today. Pricing floors were first implemented to exclude black job seekers from undercutting white job seekers in bids for work.

2020-12-22 21:15:18 UTC  

You have a whole lot there!

2020-12-22 21:16:53 UTC  

I mean it’s definitely something which can be verified, it’s just hard to cut past the establishments propaganda. If you look at places like Seattle though, everyone agreed there was an increase in the velocity of money. IE Inflation
