THE DAILY FUDD: E86: "Ammo costs: More evidence that 'market forces' don't work in non-economic situations."

Is this how "supply and demand" is supposed to work? The things in supply cost MORE than the things NOT in supply.


"Just tell me how much fuel and ammo are gonna cost, and I'm done with economic matters." -- Me

We should take the money going to drug treatment and use it to subsidize military-grade ammo production for civilians. Not just in the current crunch, but, like, forever.

THE DAILY FUDD: E59: "Video on ammo shortage/high prices, with my--that is, THE--explanation."

Why This Ammo Shortage Is Different - YouTube MY COMMENT : It goes to how capitalism rations supplies. Price jump in crisis situations supposedly makes people only buy what they need, leaving some for others. It has its weaknesses to say the least, but it's the nature of our economic system. An alternative would be a government-directed rationing system--so much ammo per family based on size, nature, caliber, and need. Walter Williams, a noted libertarian, discusses the theory about capitalism here: https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2005/09/14/the-role-of-prices-n1402513 "Here's a which-is-better question for you. Suppose a hotel room rented for $79 a night prior to Hurricane Katrina's devastation. Based on that price, an evacuating family of four might rent two adjoining rooms. When they arrive at the hotel, they find the rooms rent for $200; they decide to make do with one room. In my book, that's wonderful. The family voluntarily opted to mak...

THE DAILY FUDD: E213: "Whoda thunk? Video sponsored by military gear company encourages non-vet civilian 'LARPers' to play in military gear."

MY COMMENT : (VIDEO WAS SPONSORED BY A COMPANY SELLING SUCH GEAR.) Non-vet civilians will never (legitimately) be running fire-and-maneuver calling for all that gear. In a real and legitimate Militia situation they will be fire support, set-position defense, and logistics. A simple mag pack is quite sufficient. Beyond that, anything much more than a pack or such for evacuating in a disaster is a hobby at best and a delusion at worst. I'm a vet. I served in a combat zone. I have a vest, CamelBak, and pack which I acquired during my service, and keep solely to be able to quickly bug out of town in a disaster, be it on foot or in an official evac vehicle with limited space. To non-vet LARPers: Buy what you want. Support this guy's sponsor. But keep in mind you are NOT the same as veterans. You lack the training and DISCIPLINE that veterans had drilled into them. If/when SHTF, you can serve a purpose, but you aren't the same. From TDF 172 : TDF INDEX:  Cats, Guns, and Nat...
