The Department of Defense is trucking 12 million gallons of gasoline (that's a lot of gas) to New York. Until now there has been no gas. In other words, the Federal Gov't is supplying gas.
Where was the "invisible hand" of the free market? Where were the suppliers anticipating conditions as a result of listening to the perfect information supplied by the perfect, all-knowing market?
I just had to post this hysterical comment that Rob Parenteau put on my Facebook page. It's hilarious.
| Wait, Mike, you mean das Frei MarKet, with its illustrious and ever innovating Invisible Hand, didn't deliver the goods already? WTF? Must be price controls or sumpin inhibiting all those entrepreneurs from buying and selling and bartering and trucking all that fuel from transnational oligopolistic oil companies into place in near perfect anticipation or at least nearly complete knowledge of future demand schedules. And now, back to Atlas Slouched. |
I'm sure Libertards and conservatives will be all over this with lame excuses like it was gov't regulation or some other crap that blocked the ability of businesses and entrepreneurs to supply gas.
