"Either way – trade with a baker, or my use of the incredible bread machine – I get bread in exchange for less labor than I would have to use to supply myself with bread were I unable to trade with a baker or to use this machine... What difference does it make if labor is saved by dealing directly with a machine or with another human being?"

Broken thus Restrained Government
I applaud the Democrats in their plans to "not give an inch" to President Trump and the Republicans. I also applauded the Republicans doing the same towards President Obama and the Democrats.
Then, the media critically declared the Government as "broken", though as biased they are, no mention of it now. A "broken" Government then and now, however, is a "restrained" Government, just as (very) few Founding Fathers hoped it would be. A broken thus restrained Government translates to less legislation passed, by so doing (or not doing), slowing a bit the otherwise ever growing list of laws, regulations, taxes, etc.
Consequently, a broken thus restrained Government preserves Individual Life, Liberty and Property a bit longer, until politicians resume their bipartisanship which is code for collusion. Functionally, bipartisanship is one step away from a one-party system.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Government omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent
Common acolytes, temple prostitutes and elite priests blindly adore and praise their presidential messiahs (i.e. Trump, Obama, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, etc), divided over doctrinal trifles into two political sects of one common religion called Statism, worshiping one common god called Government literally and parasitically aspiring by great presuming force to be omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent.
However, gravely ignored the empirical prophecy if you will, the inevitably unsustainable Tower of Babel, collapsing amid mass confusion per language so completely confounded by years, decades and centuries of deceitfully revised history, redefined vocabulary, reconstructed logic thus perversely remodeled ideas, principles even rights and morality.

Are there any Americans who care?
US Airstrikes Kill Civilans in Mosul (see link/article). Are there any Americans who care?
Or the preoccupying concerns are more about Putin-Trump communications, ObamCare versus TrumpCare, president's personal character, getting tough on leaks and whistle-blowers, silencing different views on campuses, travel bans, immigration, border fence, free tuition, debt cancellation, other gimmes, etc.
The Bush-Obama-Trump Imperial Wars continue to maim and kill Mideastern fathers, mothers, grandparents, students, children, infants born and unborn, as disturbingly few Americans give a damn.

Why the economic articles or comments...
Why the economic articles or comments like the previous post given I'm a poet you ma ask, because human activities consist of all sorts intimate, private, social, public, including economical. So intertwined even interdependent are all human activities, one cannot contemplate freedom of the arts without freedom of economics, freedom of speech or expression without freedom of economics, freedom of religion or conscience without freedom of economics, freedom of travel or pleasure without freedom of economics, freedom of various pursuits vocational and professional without freedom of economics, and one cannot contemplate possible peace without freedom of all of these.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

How can government officials determine...
As posted by the Mises Wire, Christopher P. Casey writes...
"How can government officials determine how many runways an airport requires or how long or to where a pipeline should extend absent prices? Without private property, which generates prices and correspondingly, profit and loss, an economic fog descends which clouds all decision making. In this context, government officials determining infrastructure spending are no different than a Soviet official deciding how much wheat to plant, which shoes and shoe sizes should be produced, or how much caviar to pull from the Caspian Sea. And the results will be the same."

The propensity to compose lists of morals and rights
The propensity to compose lists of morals and rights, to conjure proportionately longer lists of criminal laws, behavioral/regulatory codes and social justices, have been among the gravest of misunderstandings throughout history, undermining even trampling the actual ONE since the first encounter of two or more; the human ability to reason thus the individual right to CONSENT or NOT CONSENT.
