Nearly every animal's brain is said to contain just enough fats and oils to tan its own hide with the exception of very large animals or animals with unusually small brains, where you'll need to mix it with some extra fat.

Tacit collusion is literally everywhere and completely normalized. A coworker was describing a revenue-sharing agreement but actually described collusion to set prices.
I hear this argument a lot and it's a trick to get the libs to not support taxes against landlords. In this situation, rental rates are dictated by how much the market can bare because there just aren't enough houses. Prices are set to the maximum so landlords would bare the cost of the tax rather than renters. If the taxation threat was real and long term enough, it would incentivize landlords to do something with empty units, rather than it not costing them anything to sit on it.
Modern Monetary Theory. From an purely economic perspective, SimulatedLiberalism is right.
Think of taxes as an olympic sized swimming pool, a politician may say they are raising taxes to dump a new bucket of water into the pool, but some guy comes around once a month to drain or fill the pool so it always stays level.
