During the Great Depression, the gov't DESTROYED food!
FDR wanted to raise prices for farmers by reducing the supply of food.
It worked, but “People can't eat prices, they have to eat food!” says economist Don Boudreaux.
History shows how gov't often makes things worse: htt

Would you buy drugs from China?
You don’t have a choice if you want most peptides.
The FDA’s peptide ban didn't stop people from using peptides.
It just pushed them into a gray market, with little oversight.

Many schools today hold smart kids back.
They’ve eliminated gifted classes to address “historical inequity.”
“This is so misguided,” says @MichaelPetrilli, of @educationgadfly.

We're told FDR's leadership ended the Great Depression.
It's a myth.
FDR passed dumb rules. He raised farm prices by buying and often destroying crops.
Economist Don Boudreaux: "People were hungry and they were destroying food. How was that good? ... People can't eat prices!”

You give environmental groups $BILLIONS.
Think that money goes to clean rivers and forests?
No. You donate to groups like the NRDC and "That donation goes to a lawyer suing someone," explains @ts_fisher.

Activists want to STOP American AI companies.
But even if we stop, China won’t.
That means:

"AI will raise electricity prices!" warn activists.
But "It's raised prices nowhere," says @paigelambermont of @ceidotorg.

Young activists think socialism means FREE STUFF.
They have no idea it's failed again and again.
"It's not that people have to be trained into liking socialism," explains @robkhenderson: "They have to be educated out of liking it.”

@JohnStossel @JohnRLottJr The Left shits on the "good guy with a gun" concept because when it happens, it's almost always a straight white Conservative male. That reality drives them crazy.
