Communicating Liberty Ideas
Welcome Nerds. This is a place for all of nerd-dom. I am talking about all nerd credentials; comic books, movies, gamers of all kinds, role players, book readers, Trekkies and geeks. We would love a group to discuss the liberty messages and leanings of all that is nerd. We can talk about everything from Cap 2 and its commentary on the police state to Bioshock with its (albeit biased) discussion of a liberty utopia, or possibly Game of Thrones and why Littlefinger is the Frank Underwood of Westeros. We can talk about how 3D printing makes things like IP and gun control outdated topics or why bitcoin will take over the world. We could even talk about the EVE online economy as an anarchist paradise and how the most popular virtual currency in the world with exchange rates, banks, and lenders is World of Warcraft gold. This is going to be freaking sweet!

Minimum Wage and Comic Book Stores

Sad to see these places struggling, but its good that these people who claim to be progressives are learning to find solutions in the market . Its interesting that the progressive recognizes the importance of the free market now that it effects them. On a positive note, the graphic novel of the month club sounds super cool and I would consider joining if I had the spare dough.
Thought this quote was great, Makes me wonder when freelancing ala amazon turk will start competing with the hourly wage.
“Why,” he asks, “can’t two consenting people make arrangements for less than x dollars per hour?”

i.e. could he not pay his workers an hourly rate, but instead a commission on sales? i.e. 2% of the total sale. no hourly rate, its a freelance job, you just have to be there to do it. this could very well be illegal and i just don’t know it, but i wonder how long until similar legal workarounds become commonplace in places like San Francisco with high minimum wages.
