      I have run into many people making that claim.

      Online, offline, politicians, etc.

      And on the free market isnt sorting itself out - the claim is usually that the gubment is still not letting the market be free enough. That’s usually the claim, for example, from all the right-wingers I know for when they get cornered on why health care costs are 1000% ridiculous.

      It’s like the national anthem. It’s drilled into our heads since birth, but no one actually knows it.

        I mean, if you perform it enough times, you tend to retain it. But then, I have some Carmina Burana and Palestrina memorized for the same reason.

          9 years I had to sing it. I don’t remember it past The first two lines. But I like to block things like that out in my head.

      Republicans: “Free market!” Also republicans: “Buy American” “we need to ban Chinese companies from importing and selling goods in the u.s.” “Outsourcing labor is just smart business”
