now rent seeking has distorted these functions wildly in this country and that's a problem but you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater
Microsoft made a significant profit off selling their OSs at discounted rates to public school system across the country.
Public school is essentially a state owned enterprise.
That's a drop in the bucket
the real reason Microsoft took off was they hitched their wagon to the IBM PC
Today yes. But in a time when a lot of people didn't have PCs at home, it was respectable
which, having essentially an open source construction, allowed a market of "PC compatibles" to arise which in turn spread DOS
public schools would have never had PCs if the PC wasn't so popular, and it was popular because of its open source design making it relatively affordable and easily expandable
And besides, Windows is better than gay ass Mac and Linux
DOS just cemented the software end of things by making everything work with everything else
Unless you're using Final Cut Pro
or programming in the terminal
IBM clients include the Social Security Administration and Nazi Germany
IBM serviced everyone
That dirty whore
Credit where it's due they were responsible for computers moving to PC platforms instead of being tethered to mainframes
So back on track, these companies usually come to major success with a wasteful government contract (often an old college friend or relative setting up a deal) or other government intervention such as massive tax breaks, exemptions, etc.
And they often die from overreaching government regulations
Compare the free market miracle of Hong Kong against mixed economies like France
Singapore etc too
Taiwan
well the UAE is basically the Saudis but they collectively decided to turn their nation into Disneyland
Brutal laws. But a free market economy.
Granted they do have oil
Mainland China is a mixed economy. But pollution is a huge problem. I've seen bigass hills made of trash, and in parts of the east coast you would not be able to see trash mountains because the smog is so heavy.
Country girls and south/western girls are usually much hotter because they aren't inhaling toxins every day from birth
There's pollution in California and NY despite their regulations
It's really just a placebo
I want to force my competition out of business so I'll make a deal with some dude, once he gets elected he will make some retarded ass laws that hurt their business, so I can gain an unfair advantage
They go out of business eventually and I take all their customers and buy them out, their facilities and equipment etc
the fuck are you talking about man southern women are fat as hell
I meant in China
Regarding their huge pollution problem
wouldn't know about that
Fuck I took a shit but my leg is numb
I'm back
the more I work out the more I dislike fat people
Japan is closer to a mixed economy than us, but Fukushima
I'm not concerned at all about Trump's policies, same shit, different presidency
Fact is that time's running out on the West, and that's the big picture
I could live in South Korea
