The worst form of inequality is to try to make
unequal things equal.
Aristotle
How many times have we heard ‘free
tuition,’ ‘free health care,’ and free you-name-it? If a particular good or
service is truly free, we can have as much of it as we want without the
sacrifice of other goods or services. Take a ‘free’ library; is it really free?
The answer is no. Had the library not been built, that $50 million could have
purchased something else. That something else sacrificed is the cost of the
library. While users of the library might pay a zero price, zero price and free
are not one and the same. So when politicians talk about providing something
free, ask them to identify the beneficent Santa Claus or tooth fairy.
Walter Williams
Every great cause begins as a movement,
becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.

I'm also a free-trade advocate except when it makes our military vulnerable to
supply disruptions. However, Trump's recent initiative toward tariff
negotiations does give the USA some leverage such as when protecting our large
tech giants from a proposed 5% (just for openers) surtax in the EU. I don't
think that critics at the moment are considering that the outside world likes to
kick USA firms (think taxation) harder and harder. The EU was originally formed
to reduce tariffs among EU nations while building tariff walls against the
outside world. At the moment there's a huge movement within the EU to tax USA
companies. The EU is hardly a poster child for lower taxation and tariffs.

New York Times: Who Should Be Armed in Florida Schools? Not
Teachers, Lawmakers Say. But Maybe Librarians ---
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/us/guns-florida-schools-teachers.html
Jensen Comment
The advantage of having teachers armed (even only a small number) is that the
invader(s) don't know who's armed, how many are armed, and where the armed
protectors are located. The invaders may initially bushwhack the librarians
first if they're the only ones with concealed weapons.
Of course if there is an police station on a higher education campus along with armed police on patrols there's not a whole lot of added advantage in arming librarians concentrated in a central library.
How to Mislead With Statistics
MIT’s (mostly with Stanford researchers) Uber study couldn’t possibly have been
right. It was still important ---
https://qz.com/1222744/mits-uber-study-couldnt-possibly-have-been-right-it-was-still-important/
Jensen Comment
The study appears to have been sloppy and unprofessional rather than
intentionally misleading even though it serves the liberal agenda.
The obvious question overlooked is why so many workers volunteer for Uber
when there are many opportunities for earning more than $3.37 per hour in this
economy where help wanted signs are posted in front of nearly all
establishments?
Didn't the researchers think about that? The article points out some other
things these researchers overlooked.
The quote at the end of the article is a hoot:
Yes, $3.37 an hour was a crazy number. But when people are primed to believe that driving for Uber is a crappy job, then you better bet they are going to believe a prestigious academic study that comes along telling them exactly that.
If you do a Google search most of the media (which tends to be
liberal) thinks the $3.37 is absolute fact. Abe Lincoln said it best:
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the
time, but not . . . "
I'm not sure it takes such powerful cost accounting math as much as it takes common sense. For example, depreciation of a car is a decline in value that combines four important variables: Make versus Mileage versus Age versus temporal Non-stationary Market prices and Variance in prices. No powerful math can disentangle those confounded variables in spite of what Einstein wished was the case. And the confounding varies with locale. For example, road salt in New Hampshire increases the importance of Mileage relative to Age and Make such that New Hampshire Uber drivers probably get hit harder than Arizona drivers, but nobody can accurately measure the effect of salt in a particular car (that differs from an average car). Other factors intervene such as how often the car is washed and what is paid for the wash.
And even things like gas prices vary greatly from Texas to Maryland to California.
And tips vary a lot with customers and conditions such as any Uber driver tomorrow morning in New Hampshire will likely get a bigger tip during a Nor'easter.
Thus its not the power of the math as much as it is the lack of data for millions of variations in non-stationarities of the variables in a given Uber trip.

The gig workers are fairly evenly divided between men (49%) and women (51%).
Only 8% are seniors, and 23% are youths.
What is especially surprising is that only 21% are from
low income households.
This suggests that many gig workers are getting gigs for reasons other
than financial desperation. Some may just want to get out of the house or to add
to their work skills.
