goodnight guys uzi and I got a big day tomorrow

peace

Bye

Ok I blocked them both

Lol

Haha

Nice

Currently trying to sort through all this free market stuff
My brain hurts and I have too many thoughts in my head right now

Oh my

Someone is trying to convince me that the free market is bad because it creates Monopolies

except the definition of a monopoly is a business that essentially makes it impossible for other companies to exist. That's not true - the cost of laying down fiber optic cable is what is keeping other companies from existing apparently

You should respond with, "So is giving a communist state monopoly on everything somehow better?"

Apparently. They used a chart of countries with fiber optic cable as an example

Apparently Comcast has been suppressing fiber optic cable development

Except they haven't been is what I'm finding online; it's simply so expensive that people aren't making the switch.

Wut....

I'm dead
The chart they're using is literally evidence that the free market is good

Singapore has one of the world's freest markets

Germany, the UK are even worse 😂

So at least be proud you aren't worse 😂

I was feeling really stupid for a moment there until I realized that the evidence literally points towards free markets working

Wasn't Bill Clinton the one who passed the Bill of Telecommunications?

Perhaps it had an effect 🤔

Just a theory, tho

Literally all of these countries are free markets that have this

I'm googling it and I'm internally laughing my head off

I'm angry as hell right now.

Communists don't have brains, thats why

lol

The free market encourages competition

Any government intervention is **bad**

People voted with their wallets for monopolies

Singapore
Qatar
Hong Kong
Japan
New Zealand
Latvia
Sweden

They are literally all free market countries

Every last one of them

Sweden has a big welfare, though.

Not sure about the rest of them

Sweden is also 9th on the list

Yeah

I can't find anything on the UAE being a free market but

This is insane
