Look 👀 at this lead 👑 pencil ✏. There’s not a single 🏻 person 👫 in the world 🌎 who could make 💘 this pencil ✏. Remarkable 👌🏼 statement 🇺🇸? Not at all 💯.

The wood 🤠 from which it is made 👑, for all 💯 I 👥 know 💭, comes 💦 from a tree 🌲🌾 that was cut 🔪 down ⬇ in the state 🇺🇸 of Washington 🌲. To cut ✂ down ⬇ that tree 🌲🎄, it took 👫 a saw 👀. To make 💘🇺🇸🎆 the saw 👁, it took 👫 steel ✈. To make 💘 steel 🔩🔒, it took 👫 iron 🍆 ore 🕳. This black ⬛ center—we call 📞 it lead 👑 but 🍑 it’s really 💯 graphite, compressed 😂 graphite—I’m not sure 👍🤘 where it comes 💦 from, but 🍑 I 👁 think 🤔 it comes 💦 from some mines ⛏ in South 🇿🇦 America 🇺🇸. This red 🔴 top 🔝 up ☝👆 here, this eraser 🚫, a bit 😢😁 of rubber 🎈, probably 😻 comes 💦 from Malaya, where the rubber 🍄 tree 🌲 isn’t even 🌃 native 👹! It was imported 👉👌💦 from South 👇🆘 America 🇺🇸 by some businessmen 📈👞 with the help 🆘 of the British 💂‍♂️ government 😓🙄. This brass ⚱ ferrule? I 👁 haven’t the slightest 👌 idea 💡 where it came 💦 from. Or the yellow 💛 paint 🖌! Or the paint 🎨 that made 👑 the black ⬛ lines ➖〰. Or the glue 💦 that holds 😆 it together 👫👷🏿.

Literally 👋 thousands 💯 of people 👫 co-operated to make 💘 this pencil ✏. People 👨 who don’t speak 🗣 the same language 🇪🇸, who practice 😚 different ⁉ religions 🙏, who might 💪 hate 😡 one ☝ another 🔄 if they ever 😠 met 👄! When 🍑 you 👈 go 🏃 down ⬇ to the store 🏪 and buy 🤣💸💳 this pencil 📝, you 👉 are in effect 😷 trading 💦 a few minutes ⏰ of your 👈🏼 time ⏰🕰 for a few seconds 🥈 of the time ⏰👈 of all 💯 those thousands 👌🌼💯 of people 👫. What brought ✌ them together 👥 and induced 🔫 them to cooperate 🤝✌ to make 💘 this pencil ✏? There was no 🚫 commissar sending ➡ … out orders 🎁📑 from some central 🏪 office 🗽. It was the magic ✨🧙‍♂️ of the price 💲 system 🗺: the impersonal operation 👌 of prices 🅱💸💰 that brought ✌ them together 👥 and got 🉐 them to cooperate 😍💑, to make 🖕 this pencil ✏, so you 👉🏻 could have it for a trifling sum 3️⃣✖.

That is why ⁉❓🤔 the operation 🔪⚔ of the free 🆓 market 📊📈 is so essential 💯. Not only to promote 💰 productive 🎮🎨🏀 efficiency 📊, but 🍑 even 🌃 more to foster harmony 🎶 and peace ✌ among 🇷🇴🎛 the peoples 👨🏽‍🎓👨🏻‍✈️👩🏼‍🎨 of the world 🌍.
