I said nationalization only works in specific scenarios like heathcare and rail

2018-12-05 01:02:07 UTC  

You guys have way too much belief in the free market. Might want to give US history from 1870 to 1910 a look.

2018-12-05 09:48:03 UTC  

Wait @TheNobody You think that a monopoly exists becasue it is good? That's almost never the case, monopolies only exist when businesses drive out competitors, monopolies are always bad. Take Singapore for instance, they have the most free market economy and every field has heaps of competition, competition drives down prices, monopolies allow the supplier to price set, especially if they provide an essential good or service. This happened with Martin Shkreli and the aids medication.

Simply put, the free market has failures, 4 from when I did economics (income inequality: relative and absolute, positive and negative externalities, public goods and common resources and market power.), and it's a governments role to redistribute resources to fix the 4 failures.

2018-12-05 12:27:42 UTC  

Yeah, he takes free market principles to the point where it turns against itself. Monopolies are awful

2018-12-06 01:13:49 UTC

If they monopolize pot we're even more fucked than we were. ๐Ÿ˜‚

2018-12-09 07:26:03 UTC  

If they legalise weed the price will go down

2018-12-09 07:26:23 UTC  

Free market supreme ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ˜ค

2018-12-09 09:35:14 UTC  

Also, the government makes a shit load off the new taxes

2018-12-09 10:07:58 UTC  

Bad taxes are bad? <:thonkeyes:470272505328959488>

2018-12-09 17:03:59 UTC  

It won't be a free market, it will be a regulated market.

2018-12-09 18:21:51 UTC  

yes tax is bad but in this case its a win win

2018-12-10 22:17:15 UTC  

But you donโ€™t wanna just legalise weed, youโ€™d want it to be like cigarettes and set a age limit (big chance you guys think this as well, Iโ€™m just making sure.)

2018-12-10 22:19:53 UTC  

Hell, I get vape pens shipped from Colorado

2018-12-11 14:20:05 UTC  

They just cancelled all welfare? Does not compute

2018-12-11 14:40:19 UTC  

is this some sort of faithful attempt to lower divorce rates?

2018-12-11 15:37:22 UTC  

Pretty sure that's not real, looked for the article this morning

2018-12-11 15:38:03 UTC

@Tyberius D alot of ur debt comes from wars

2018-12-11 17:08:07 UTC  

although, not only

2018-12-11 17:08:17 UTC  

and alot thanks to bad policy makers

2018-12-11 17:09:42 UTC  

That's valid, but if you factor in just net benefits 90% of folks are provides.

2018-12-11 17:12:12 UTC  

not sure I understand what you mean.... 90% are net providers?

2018-12-11 17:14:23 UTC  

If we are counting direct benefits yes. If you start factoring in roads, education, ect everyone is a net taker.

2018-12-11 17:14:55 UTC  

its just that ur goverment is shit

2018-12-11 17:17:02 UTC  

what did you guys think would happen if you would end up taking loads of loans?

2018-12-11 17:17:12 UTC  

that they would disappear?

2018-12-11 17:20:26 UTC  

The boomers know they can retire and pass the bill to X and Y because if we take away SS we would have to shoot everyone over 60.

2018-12-11 17:21:06 UTC  

SS?

2018-12-11 17:21:18 UTC  

schutzstaffel?

2018-12-11 17:21:22 UTC  

<:Schutzstaffel:405469391317368834>

2018-12-11 17:24:36 UTC  

No, Social Security

2018-12-11 17:25:00 UTC  

then... why elect boomers?

2018-12-11 17:26:12 UTC  

I personally have never voted for one. The country does because boomers are the largest ACTIVE voter Bloc since 1980.
