Today is Yom Kippur, which began at sundown last night. This is a day of atonement, so "happy" Yom Kippur is not appropriate: I think the proper sentiment is to wish all of you commemorating this ~~a good~~ an easy fast. While this is not my holiday, I'm sure I have some atoning to do, so I'll try to keep this in mind along the way.

I can purchase, maintain and use brakes as I need to just fine thank you. Brakes weren't invented by government command either- .gov didn't build that. Here's my question- do you actually think you're part of setting command economy policy or do you only get to agree with the policies set by others? Dude, equating smart regulation with the "command economy" like those of Soviet Russia is hyperbolic to the point of absurdity. But if you prefer your economy unfettered by regulations and laws, I hear Somalia is excepting citizenship applications. Let me know how your business ventures over there turn out. inflation = smart regulation I'm not leaving. I'm not obeying you- ever. Now what are you going to do?
