Bad: Hoppe writing that communists will have to be “physically removed” from libertarian society Worse: Alt-right memes of physical removal via being thrown or hanged from helicopters Jaw-dropping: Hoppe embracing those memes by gleefully carrying around little toy helicopters

It’s not the super-rich who pay for a minimum wage. It’s consumers. 75% of the cost of minimum wage increases are passed on to customers, while only 25% are paid by firm owners. And remember that firm owners includes plenty of middle class shareholders. pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdf/10.125…
Hey look, here are some numbers that have absolutely nothing to do with each other!
Federal minimum wage: 2009: $7.25 2010: $7.25 2011: $7.25 2012: $7.25 2013: $7.25 2014: $7.25 2015: $7.25 2016: $7.25 2017: $7.25 2018: $7.25 2019: $7.25 2020: $7.25 2021: $7.25 Wealth of 400 richest Americans: 2009: $1,270,000,000,000 2020: $3,200,000,000,000
Hot take: Bentham is seriously underrated by libertarians.

Later today, I’ll be with @jcohen570 on a panel devoted to “PPE in a Time of Pandemic: Labor, Exploitation, and the Future of Work.” Really looking forward to the conversation, and I hope some of you can join! ppe.unc.edu/event/ppe-in-a…
The video of yesterday’s debate between @PhilWMagness and @jmhorp on “Lockdowns and Liberty: How Should Government Respond to COVID-19?” is now available. It was a terrific conversation - civil, well-informed, and rigorous. I learned a lot from it. youtu.be/IcA35lOo-ew
