It's a very strange trade...

Hell, no... I didn't see nuthink, officer, I swears!

I do!

Yeah, the trade has run its course, it would seem...

Yeah, although even then I thought they waz genius...

I think those trades were actually genius, in a whole variety of ways...

I urge you to read more about the Charlie Gard case... You are just not aware of the facts and are relying too much on what you see in the media.

Last time I looked implied was quite a bit higher than realised in rates as well...

The Charlie Gard case has nothing whatsoever to do with what you have described. It's actually extremely similar to the Terri Schiavo case,

I agree with the sentiment you express that we should all be able to speak for ourselves. I have certainly attempted to do this, as I'm sure you'd agree. Separately, I would also note that Friedman, in his 2001 essay "How to Cure Health Care", advocates some government involvement in public...

Let me just say that "Constitution of Liberty" is not one of Hayek early works. It was written nearly 20 years after "The Road to Serfdom". Some of the points made are also reiterated in "Law, Legislation and Liberty", which was written even later. Other than that, it doesn't appear that...

Yes, and I see the point you're making. However, let me again suggest to you that the line you have drawn in the above post is arbitrary. For instance, Friedrich Hayek, one of the greatest economists of the 20th century, who formulated a lot of the intellectual case against "big government"...

Well, don't you think that rule of law is actually just another service provided by the government? The relevant parts of the three branches of the US government (such as Congress, the courts, the police and other law enforcement agencies) are paid for by the taxpayer, so that every citizen can...

While the sentiment you express is admirable, the logic of your argument is a double-edged sword. As an extreme example, I can imagine a paedophile would argue that the laws imposed by a larger majority which prevent them from preying on minors are "wrong". They would feel that the majority is...

Yes, as well as other things...

Fundamentally, it's a relatively simple issue..., Basic economics tells us that markets are just not good at dealing with public goods. This isn't a controversial conclusion by any means and pretty much everyone seems to agree. If your society believes that public health is a public good, the...

I applaud your efforts, especially since I look at a few of the trades you have mentioned...

No, all of NNT's more recent quasi-philosophical stuff doesn't have merit... I would say that what he used to write a long time ago, when he had some integrity, was worthwhile.

My chart said "Maternal mortality rate", I'm pretty sure.
