At a more basic economic level, the minimum price will necessarily lead to surplus production. This isn't as good as it sounds, as it means that resources will be invested in this area of production, where they are not meeting any demand, instead of being invested in other areas, where they would meet a demand. The market will eventually adjust to this by reducing production and increasing quality, but the core problem will always remain, and the economy as a whole will be that much less productive as a result of this.

The only ones who will benefit from this are the producers of the more expensive brands, as well as the brands with a higher alcohol per volume ratio. Oh, and the bars/dance clubs. The poor will have to pay more for alcohol, and some will start stealing to pay for their habit like we see with illegal drugs. Likewise they will be more incentivized to go for liquors/spirits rather than beer or wine. Not that I think that liquors/spirits are necessarily worse, but I'm just saying it will likely have the opposite of the claimed intended effect. Simultaneously, while the convenience/grocery/liquor stores will have to increase their prices, the bars and dance clubs likely will not, since it seems that this minimum price will only apply at the retail level, and these businesses have to charge much more for the drinks in order to cover the accomodations they offer. So the poor (which is the economic class to which most people who provoke these problems fall into) will be somewhat less likely to buy alcohol at a store and drink at home or in the street, where they can be relatively easily avoided, and they will be somewhat more likely to drink at bars and clubs, where they will be more likely to cause problems for the middle and upper classes that are applauding this new law.

I suppose you would say the 9/11 attacks were not a false-flag either. 12 years have gone by and the evidence has been widely available for everyone to see for many years ( ), yet even the most staunch critics and opposers of the US State and of statism itself refuse to even consider the possibility that this organization is full of insane, evil people who will gladly kill their neighbors for money and power.

That's true. And also, there may be more to come. The power of the false-flags is maximized when there's a wave of them culminating in a big one.

It looks like you were right, Metric. We'll just have to wait and see who this one is blamed on.

What isn't going to be reported is that there were bomb drills being carried out at the same exact time, at the same exact location. Another coincidence? I'd say another false-flag. Every empire in the history of the world has engaged in these, and the US State has admitted to doing it in the past (usually after everyone has forgotten about it) The question of who is responsible is made even easier when you ask who stands to benefit from the attacks, and what possible reason would those who stand to lose from it (and who it will surely be blamed on) have to carry it out.

Please do tell where and how one goes about shorting them... This is the thread http://board.freedomainradio.com/forums/t/34660.aspx?PageIndex=7 My first post there was on 07 (july) - 03 (3rd) - 2012

Not if you properly define the term. Then they will be wiped out. Yes. And this will certainly be no exception. Haha, so your bet is that the whole world is going to jump on this bandwagon. That's quite the bet. There is no fundamental benefit of holding bitcoins, it's just a speculative bet that you can sell them before everyone else does, and/or that more foolish investors are going to come down the line and/or some of the same investors will put up more money and bid the price up before you sell. If you want to get past the illusion veil that has been cast over bitcoins and understand their core problem and the true nature of money, come to the economics forum. You'll find the thread there. My first post is third from the bottom in page 7 (standard view)

It's not just taking those characteristics, that all it ever was and ever will be!

If you can get access to the book "Democracy: The God That Failed" by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, I recommend chapter 11: "On the Errors of Classical Liberalism and the Future of Liberty". Also consider the following lecture by the same author: "The Hayek Myth" which you can watch/listen to here: http://propertyandfreedom.org/2012/11/hans-hermann-hoppe-the-hayek-myth-pfs-2012/ , where the case is made that Hayek was in fact part of the left.

Does the UK State subsidize this for locals, and is this why sales are being restricted?

It's important to point out that one of the main reasons why cellphone quality has gone up so much, and it's cost has gone down so much, is that, being a new industry, the (mostly worldwide) relative lack of regulation in cellphone production; when compared to some of the other industries like the ones you named. Another reason would be that, being a new industry, there was a lot of room for improvements to be developed. When you put both things together, you get this amazing increase in quality and lowering of cost.
