we have class action lawsuits

its basicly the people vs

State?

it can be against anyone if the court accepts the case

Oooh

Okay then, so that Jilly juice woman can be sued?

yep

Yeah I’m not asking how it’s currently handled, I’m asking how it fits into a free-speech absolutist position

Well, that helps. Thanks guys

@angeryer Absolutist means everything is allowed

a free-speech absolutionist might be an ancap

No kind of restriction

False advertising? Too bad suckers

I suppose so yeah

Wait for the reviews

buyer beware

The paid McReviews say it’s great!

That's why I'm not in agreement with ancaps

It's like

Imagine a company puts out a poisonous product

@Arch-Fiend I don't think "absolutionist" is the word you're looking for

Do we wait for enough people to die until the reviews come in?

ever heard of the tobacco industry shiv?

we actively SELL poison, and people WILLINGLY buy it

only sith deal in free speech absolutes

Hey, atleast tobacco kills slowly

yes but we have the data, people don't care that its pure poison 😛

I feel like companies (in general) have an incentive to put out a good product. The money you make from sales is less than the money you can lose via a lawsuit

But I could be wrong

I mean shit like a batch of m and ms that has red number 5

companies have an incentive to put out a product people want to buy

doesn't matter if its good or bad

most people against consumer protection law will usually site darwin

So, opinions. Is America capitalist or corporatist

@Dr.Wol but theres also strict liability when it comes to product quality

if people want to buy it, it will be of quality

depends on how you define corporatist

good quality means more sales, if people want it they'll get it

were certainly not fascist corporatist

i cant elect the ceo of youtube

America is a mixed economy

Capitalist + social programs
