Would You Ask This Question? If Asked, Could You Answer It? 

If I were in charge, nobody would be allowed to become an employee until he/she had spent some time running a business. And nobody would be allowed to run a business until he/she had spent some time as an employee.

Also, nobody would be allowed to voice an opinion about socialism unless they had lived in a socialist economy. And nobody would be allowed to say anything about capitalism unless they had lived in a capitalist country.

I know. That is illogical. Still, it’s how things should be.

I’m saying this in response to the video below. Here, you have a bright kid from a good university asking Milton Friedman what he believes is a “gotcha” question, only to learn how dumb a question it is.

It is evident that the hosts are not aware of these simple business measurement tactics. Don Lemon’s comment about Flay’s observation that we are in a bad economy (“They say we are…”) is almost mind numbing in its dumbness.
