As a millionaire businessman replied to my question: "when is enough, enough?" - he said: "it is never enough". Sort of tells the story, Bert.

BTW - central planning has always failed as history shows - like all complex adaptive systems, like piles of sand, there is always a tipping point (a phase transition) and collapse into a less complex system: https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/back-to-basics-complex-systems-can?sd=pf

Aside from Pepin asserting that chickens are not sentient beings, which they are, the essence of this piece is excellent. This point sums it up perfectly:
