Find out why money is good over at FilmEcon . (Edited by Double Birds) "It is difficult to dispute that, in the real Star Trek future, all thirty-year-old males may well be living in their mothers' basements, enjoying an endless orgy in their holodecks. If you dispute this, consider how many thirty-year-olds are at this moment living in their mothers' basements so they can play MMOs and watch Star Trek. Now imagine what would happen to those young men if they could bang a virtual Uhura three times a day."

The Economics of Ghostbusters

Image
Head over to Film Econ to learn about the EPA causing the apocalypse in Ghostbusters. Sorry.  This isn't your day. And here's the saddest quote ever by a man whose business was destroyed by the state : "The way the government goes after places like [my business] is by an accumulation of laws, regulations, and subjective decisions they are allowed to use to express their intent. Essentially they remove your security, increase your risk or liability, and increase your costs. This makes the closing of [my business] and similar manufacturing and accumulation of issues and not a single issue. They simply grind away until you either quit or they find methods of bringing serious charges or fines that force you to close."

Check out S.M. Oliva's review of it over at LewRockwell.com.
