From Jonah Goldberg's newsletter:
Speaking of Sanders, some wag on Twitter noted that the best thing about the run on the grocery stores in blizzard-besieged D.C. is that it gave the Beltway crowd a sense of what it will be like under a Sanders administration. I don’t want to live under a socialist president, but a silver lining would be seeing all those MSNBC hosts waiting in line for toilet paper.

Tex, there was an hysterical article in the NYT about drug shortages today.

[talking to self] "Self: who could possibly have predicted that intentionally holding prices down and keeping firms from making 'too much profit' would create perverse incentives that cause said firms to divert resources to areas where they at least stand a chance of breaking even?"

Unexpected, that :p

Well, it's a well known fact that economics is actually a discredited "science" that was invented by capitalists to impose wage slavery and teh Patriarchy upon women and minorities. My college professor who literally has never worked outside of the university system told me so!
