Here's Ferfal talking about it.
And the guys from The Circle Bastiat conclude:
Dealers need to wash clothes, but they don’t do enough laundry to carry that much detergent for their own personal use. Tide’s marketability allows the dealers to sell bottles to local stores and other businesses.Those crazy Austrians! They are a laugh a minute. I'm sure Paul Krugman has plenty of Tide.
It’s clear that dealers and their clients understand what money is, whereas Ben Bernanke and his troops at the Fed do not. Even addicts know they can’t print their own paper money and expect dealers to trade their goods for worthless script.
Dealers demand that in exchange for their drug inventory, customers provide a tangible good in trade. Meanwhile, the Fed injects more debauched money from the ether into an economy now addicted to cheap money.
Tide: the new bread. We'll have to change a few songs.
Ain't too many problems that cain't be fixed
With a trunk full of Tide and a 30'06.
There's a money laundering joke in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteIt's odd that they would settle on that commodity.
I wonder if they got started because the price of detergent has shot up the last couple of years. My wife likes Gain, and I think it is something like double what it was not that long ago.
