The fact is that donations are great, but nothing is more effective in allocating limited resources than the free market. Too often, we don’t see the power of the free market, but this great video from our friends at the free market Show Me Institute (our sister think tank in Missouri) shows how, when the chips are down after a horrible tornado, the free market makes sure that limited resources are used effectively for the betterment of the human condition.
Don’t forget all the work that the unions have done to help rebuild Joplin. Or the work by FEMA.
