MEDIA BIAS RE: PRICE GOUGING,
SUNKEN SOCIALISM & WATERING RESTRICTIONS
by
Rex Curry
Many news stories cover government
attempts to stop "price gouging" and none even hint that there is another
side, that gouging is good, that anti-gouging laws shouldn't exist, that
they defeat market pricing, or that the laws cause shortages, poverty and
misery.
Many news stories repeat bureaucratic claims that seafood is "overharvested"
and need more government laws to limit catches, and never mention that the
problem is government ownership of water, defeating supply and demand incentives,
soggy socialism, and the need for private property rights that would enable
farming and market pricing. (if that wasn't bad enough there are rarely
stories on farming of seafood, and the stories NEVER make the tie in to the
lack of property rights in government waters that causes overharvesting in
government waters. It is unfortunate that even the seafood farmers
can't make the tie in, having come from government schools). Has a
seafood farmer on land ever suggested that he should be able to own areas
now owned by government in order to farm in water currently owned by government?
No reporter has ever asked such a question).
Many news stories blather about "water conservation" and watering restrictions
even glorifying police-state patrols and enforcement, and the stories never
even hint that the problem is government ownership of water systems, lack
of competition, lack of market pricing, defeating supply and demand, that
would solve all the brainless coverage made by the reporter in his socialist
story.
Those are 3 easy ones I see a lot. I could go on and on. I want
to ask everyone to compile a collection. Please send in more examples
of media blindness about capitalism, free market economics, pricing, property
rights, which all prove that the first amendment is incompatible with government
schools, and the latter must end. It seems that our schools accomplish
exactly what soviet schools accomplished. The media prove that government
schools produce socialists who know nothing about free market economics.
