Or on the effect of people choosing to live in those localities?
AAAAAHHHH!
1!!11!1
yes
Right?
yup
I agree completely that government fucks up the metrics to make it seem more like a crisis
But on the other hand, they’re also screwing it up by covering at least part of the cost of natural disasters
i am always under the assumption
if there’s a way to screw it up
govt will find it
It’s like Murphy’s law but for government
makes more jobs for them
We should dub it Marx’s law
yes
Or Sowell’s law
Cause ... I’m not sure if it’s him or Friedman that summed up government for me
i like that you’ve demonstrated they have an incentive to mess up the same stats in two seemingly contradictory ways too
“If you want to perpetuate a problem, you create a government department dedicated to solving it”
I think it was Sowell but I’m not 100% certain
sounds a lot like Sowell or Friedman. Could be either very easily
I think it was Sowell talking about government education
he has a lot of good zingers
he said that a California land development bureau would have to hire a Blue Ribbon Committee to find out why the ground is wet after a rain
....
in response to why affordable housing initiatives drive up cost of housing
You don’t know how hard I just laughed at that
😈
