Postal service inefficiencies stem from monopoly. Private companies could deliver mail cheaper and faster, but state control blocks competition and innovation.
MLS just got a lot more scalable!
Partial clients don't store the entire MLS tree, dramatically reducing bandwidth and compute requirements, while removing the ability to verify all incoming messages and adding or removing members to the group.

Go through your installed apps and delete one you're not using.
Services like day care are stifled by regulation. Licensing requirements and zoning laws prevent market solutions, forcing reliance on bureaucratic inefficiencies instead of private innovation.
Public works drain the economy. Infrastructure projects funded by taxes divert capital from productive private uses to political boondoggles.
Price controls during shortages backfire. Rationing water or electricity through regulation leads to waste and inequitable distribution.
Private charity fosters dignity. Unlike welfare, which breeds dependence, voluntary aid encourages self-sufficiency and mutual respect.
Licensing in trades harms apprenticeships. Regulations on electricians, plumbers, and other skilled labor block on-the-job training for the disadvantaged.
@Final is there a @GrapheneOS simulator for testing apps in the development process?

General repo for all things non-code.
Stagflation results from central bank meddling. Artificially low interest rates and credit expansion distort investment, leading to simultaneous unemployment and price rises.
Publicly conforming to what we privately disagree with makes us complicit in tyranny.
Historical examples show private roads outperform public ones. Turnpike companies in 18th-century England and 19th-century America built efficient networks without state funding.
Government interventions in labor markets create artificial unemployment. Minimum wage laws exclude low-skilled workers, disproportionately harming minorities and the poor.
Public health campaigns often blame victims. Anti-smoking or nutrition programs target poor choices but ignore how state policies create unhealthy environments.
The warmongering is so tiresome.
