Well that ended in 1913 at the latest but probably sometime in the 1860s.
Well-connected actors using the power of the government to the detriment of everyday people to secure some non-market-based financial benefit. Cronyism at its finest 👌🏻
At your service 🫡😄
Oh you have to tear those off, spit on the ground, and curse the tyrants in Brussels and elsewhere.
I don't control the government but I can't just accept them taking like 80% of my money - If I was cool with that, I think I'd be even more of a sick bastard than they are 😅
"Think locally, act locally" is the motto of historian and secessionist Brion McClanahan and I gotta say I'm warming up to it 😄 I'm all for free international trade but local communities should not be so legally restrained as to be unable to start businesses to fill the gaps left by cheap foreign imports running dry. Every place has the comparative advantage to produce *something* cheaper than elsewhere but if your own petty bureaucrats make it impossible for you to fill some demand left unsatisfied because of ships exploding in a war they started halfway around the world, they are the real enemy to your wealth and well-being.
So everybody in Venezuela is free now, right? No more communism, free markets galore?
