@The Big Oof about what?

State intervention versus free markets

Free markets is way better than state intervention

No markets is way better than anything

I think it depends.

Regulation has its own unique advantages.

I wouldn't hand out a Monopoly, but I would also use regulation to prevent a Monopoly to keep small business competitive.

Like if an international conglomerate came along and started putting smaller companies out of business.

so practical regulation to promote an effective market?

Due to their ability to get massive bulk.

The difficult part is deciding for competition.

Like the USA market isn't as free as you might think.

You could be getting even cheaper stuff, but the government regulates it in order to keep their people competitive in the market

Like potatoes are a recent example of the Federal government in the USA thinking about investigation and regulation in response to what the officials are calling "Potato Dumping" by Canada.

Super cheap surplus potatoes outcompete the domestic varieties.

Farmers lose revenue.

farm subsidies and regulations causes us to use our resources in the worst way possible.

farmers are encouraged to produce unneeded food

Well, either that or your farmers quit.

I would rather some quit

All of them might though.

the chances of that are incredibly slim
