You had me at Ben&Jerry's. What's your favorite flavor my guy? Mine is "The Tonight Dough" followed by Gimme S'more! and recently tried Cannoli which was really damn good...

If you have Safeway in Canadia I get them on sale sometimes 2 for $5 on their $5 Fridays...





I'm honestly fairly new to Ben and Jerry's. I'm a glutton, so I usually buy less expensive giant tubs of ice cream and gorge, because I'm terrible. BUT, I'm partial to Peanut Butter half baked.

You can feel free to list me all of these free market havens. Tell you what, just give me 5.
no market is entirely homogenous, but economic liberty is a real thing.


Yes, there is. You're just shifting who is able to abuse said power.
yes, because that changes the scale of the power that can be abused...the scale is what's important here. Me and my friends can't starve our neighbors to death. Pick one of those economically free countries and tell me about the time the government starved off their political opposition or ethnic minorities.

Is this a serious request? I don't mean that I can't, I mean that you really don't see any examples there of places where atrocities have been committed?

p.s. Your list confirms there are no free markets.

As usual your post lacks any sort of evidence, critical thought, or consideration for the ethics involved of using somebody's death for your own non-factual misinformation.


Here's some more from the same account.

This is of course all misinformation as well and comes one day after the same sites claimed that DMX had actually contracted covid-19 in the ICU requiring his manager and family to dispute those claims.



Once again internet trolls completely unconcerned that there's a real human on the other end that you're manipulating their death for your own gain and net cred.

I don’t like the flavor and if it touches my skin, I break out. I was using coconut oil on my hair, and kept breaking out on the parts of my skin it would touch, as soon as I stopped using it, it stopped causing issues. ??‍♀
Crazy, that’s one of the few things I can use on my skin/face without issue.

Well, that sucks. Anyways, just did a Pepsi challenge between dairy and non-dairy (almond) half baked peanut butter. Difference is definitely there, but you wouldn't notice it if you weren't doing a direct comparison.

my list confirms there are no pure markets, and exposes your "Real Scotsman" fallacy.

we're talking about places in the top 5 that have starved their citizens over political or ethnic reasons.

I wanted so bad for coconut oil to work on my hair because it’s so cheap at Costco but nope.

I tried a peanut butter almond one and I didn’t like it. Tried other brands of dairy free, almond based, no go. I’m very picky. Even with almond milk. I don’t know.

Its not a "real Scotsman" fallacy when you refute a claim with information that doesnt meet the standard.

Free Market and Modified Free Market are different types of economy. The second has government intervention the first does not.

Lots of old people at the airport. Good to see them getting out and about.

by your definition, markets don't exist because no market is a pure market.

90% free market isn't a free market, according you. On one hand, you want to talk about "we're in the real world" and then you want constrain the discussion to hypotheticals when the evidence from the real world contradicts your position.

Because it isn't free. When the 10% percent of non-freedom that you're referring to is country locking its citizenry in their homes and telling them "You dont need to work, we'll just tax more." It's very difficult for me to even pretend that the vast majority of the population works in a free market.

And once again, you're literally applying a term incorrectly. You're posting a graph os the most free of the modified free markets. These are not free markets.

again, back to the hypothetical. Is HK or Singapore locking 10% of their citizens in their homes and telling them "You don't need to work..."

for someone who claims to have a hard time pretending, you seem to have a knack for it.
