That is a really great analogy. What forum is it from?

This is the post where I saw it but you have to be a member on Ravelry to see it I'm afraid.

There’s a ton of trap videos on Utube. The secret is to slowly get them use to the free food. The leaders will remain skittish and must be eliminated or the team will rebound. Mass extermination is the game. The free pig is too unpredictable for the farmer (elites).

People have been predicting 'end times' for quite awhile now, and thinking that "things can't get much worse than this." Whenever it's going to happen, it's sure looking like things are going to get a lot worse.

That's a pretty terrifying clip when you compare it to what's going on now.

Capital and opportunity costs make this untrue. It doesn't really have anything to do with government crowding out private enterprise, which is done with stolen money and labor.
[–] anoncastillo 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
Yeah, that was the one and only line in the story that struck me as untrue.

That is only true of productive people, though.

Sure it is, why would I spend an hour shoveling snow when I could bill out that hour at a higher rate than the neighbors kid.

No. An ubermensch can do everything better, can be self-sufficient in a state of nature. But it's still cheaper in terms of opportunity costs and capital costs to buy something that's already been made by morons to save the time and effort.

How? The division of labor enhances Ricardo's theses on trade.

I can repair the brakes on my car, and do it cheaper than a pro at a shop. But I don't, because I don't want to take the chance of killing my family saving a few dollars (if the 'fixed' brakes don't work) and if I survive the wreck there is someone to sue.
Same is true for the gas furnace in my basement.
