I said nationalization only works in specific scenarios like heathcare and rail
You guys have way too much belief in the free market. Might want to give US history from 1870 to 1910 a look.
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.
Yeah, he takes free market principles to the point where it turns against itself. Monopolies are awful
Like bell
the answer is
If they monopolize pot we're even more fucked than we were. 😂
If they legalise weed the price will go down
Free market supreme 💪 😤
Also, the government makes a shit load off the new taxes
Bad taxes are bad? <:thonkeyes:470272505328959488>
It won't be a free market, it will be a regulated market.
yes tax is bad but in this case its a win win
But you don’t wanna just legalise weed, you’d want it to be like cigarettes and set a age limit (big chance you guys think this as well, I’m just making sure.)
Hell, I get vape pens shipped from Colorado
What the heck headline is that
is this some sort of faithful attempt to lower divorce rates?
Pretty sure that's not real, looked for the article this morning
*pretty sure its a meme* <:Kappapeek:438728979495518208>
@Tyberius D alot of ur debt comes from wars
although, not only
and alot thanks to bad policy makers
That's valid, but if you factor in just net benefits 90% of folks are provides.
not sure I understand what you mean.... 90% are net providers?
If we are counting direct benefits yes. If you start factoring in roads, education, ect everyone is a net taker.
its just that ur goverment is shit
what did you guys think would happen if you would end up taking loads of loans?
that they would disappear?
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.
SS?
schutzstaffel?
<:Schutzstaffel:405469391317368834>
No, Social Security
then... why elect boomers?
I personally have never voted for one. The country does because boomers are the largest ACTIVE voter Bloc since 1980.
it just proves ´muricans are stupid <:AhaSmart:485830373478105108>
