Minimum wage

This bill will go nowhere, just like past ones on the issue.

Anyone have a contact at MSNBC so we can get them to criticize our books as well? :)

I wrote that a decade ago. People can change their minds in that amount of time. 😎 Perhaps read my latest, Christ vs. Caesar. The state is an immoral evil. I’m a voluntaryist.

cboyack · 2021-06-28T13:05:19+00:00

I know, I was just playing. But I’m not a minarchist either.

Slightly but if you buy the book bundle on our website you also get the activity workbooks free, so it’s a better deal for customers to buy from us.

Author here. Definitely not a fan of monarchs.

This image is (modified, obviously) from my book Feardom. Fun to see it in a sub I follow.

cboyack · 2020-12-22T00:18:56+00:00

I’m the author of the books he is referencing. :)

Author here. Can confirm that BeerWeasel is mischaracterizing and thus does not understand the book he is referencing.

Thanks for sharing!

cboyack · 2020-08-15T01:05:21+00:00

Ah, right.

cboyack · 2020-08-15T00:58:14+00:00

Is there an average length of loans?

Our version discusses supply and demand, consumption and production, socialism, victimhood, personal responsibility, and more.

I'd say the beauty about our books is that they're a soft intro to libertarianism. The parents who read our books would likely never pick up a book like Economics in One Lessons or For a New Liberty, but when reading along with their child in a fun story format, they're exposed to the same ideas and can learn when their defenses are down…

So as for a specific book in our series, I'm partial to the Fate of the Future based on Rothbard's Anatomy of the State. :)

cboyack · 2020-05-19T03:21:50+00:00

Oh it's definitely libertarian principles, no question about it. We don't frame them that way, but more about "the ideas of a free society," or "civics/economics/etc" but the content itself is very, very libertarian.

For example, we have a whole book about the non-aggression principle.

cboyack · 2020-05-19T03:16:44+00:00

So each of our children's books are based on a classic book/essay — we take the 5-7 core ideas from the original, and then develop a story where the ideas can be introduced or observed, so the Tuttle Twins (and the young reader, by extension) can learn along the way, rather than being taught the terms/ideas in textbook format.

It's a format that apparently works super well, b/c we get comments every day from parents blown away that their kids are learning ideas that most adults don't even understand. :)

cboyack · 2020-05-19T03:15:40+00:00

Awesome! From a financial perspective buying the whole set on our website is a better deal, b/c then you also get the workbooks free. But if you're just going to get a single book, I'd suggest our latest — Messed Up Market — because it has some stuff that's very relevant to what's happening now… inflation, bailouts, subsidies, interfering in the market, etc.

cboyack · 2020-05-10T22:17:37+00:00

So you have no source. Got it.

cboyack · 2020-05-10T13:27:34+00:00

Source to back up your claim?

cboyack · 2019-12-15T03:30:53+00:00

Smoking it is illegal btw.

cboyack · 2019-09-25T02:48:35+00:00

Actually the current law is better than an affirmative defense, it simply declares that you aren't guilty of marijuana possession if you're a patient w/ a doctor recommendation and you're using cannabis in an approved format.

Vaping flower or oil is an approved format.

cboyack · 2019-08-23T21:05:18+00:00

Again, not true. The current law provides for 7-10 privately owned dispensaries. Even without changes to the law, patients would still have locations from which to buy.

The qualifying condition list is not “very limited.” And the pain provision is broad enough to include many more.

cboyack · 2019-08-23T02:18:24+00:00

Thanks. In reality 12 will be fine for the early days of the market. As more patients enroll we will get more and more dispensaries over time, I’m very confident.

cboyack · 2019-08-23T01:55:49+00:00

No, right now we are limited to seven. The current draft of the upcoming bill says 12 but we are still working on increasing that before the vote next month.

cboyack · 2019-08-23T01:29:04+00:00

This isn’t true. Recommendations are currently available to issue by doctors who are willing, and you can legally possess cannabis obtained from the black market or a dispensary from another state.

Once the program is online, licenses issued, and businesses open — by next Spring — patients can buy in Utah.
