HK imports via thousands of containers, and "exports" via millions of shopping bags fr. millions of tourists. Unilateral trade lib is cool. 16 Nov

People own their body, not the state. If people want to over-drink, over-drugs, allow them. If they ask for free healthcare later, deny them. 26 Nov
When high demand is there, even if the penalty against supply is 50x firing squad, supply will persist. Think of the anti-drugs policy. 26 Nov
Theory & data must conform with each other always. If they contradict, facts must prevail, theory must give way, revert to a mere hypothesis. 27 Nov
