- Two VASTLY underappreciated features of capitalism: "In a competitive market, the price of a good ought to converge toward its marginal cost of production." and "In reality, the reason that competition is good for customers is that it destroys profits."

Hilarious response to a bad review. Filled with perfect insults, but my personal fave is, “born a bastard son in Reading, you were present at your parents’ wedding.”
How Do We Get Baseball Players to Stop Doping? - Economix Blog - NYTimes.com
There is absolutely no way taking performance enhancing drugs makes the difference between a 5% chance of being signed and a 95% chance of being signed. It may take him from 5% to 6% or even 10% but I’d bet even that doubling of the chance is a far stretch.
If the difference was that great the number of non-doping players would dwindle to almost nothing as the number of people willing to do whatever it takes to get signed overwhelms the relatively small number of available slots.
Drugs give outliers a slight push that takes them slightly beyond other outliers. It doesn’t turn average performers into outliers.
