I'm not a full commie who is gonna say that corporations commit theft or whatever. Plenty of businessmen are good guys.

I would rather take away their right to lobby than regulate myself even more.

Regulations on hiring illegals have hidden implications

We were sued once by the state because we accidentally hired one who had all the valid paperwork and passed a background check.

I agree — don;t hire them. But law has unintended consequences.

It’s not a magical wand.

And before I’m criticized for hiring a Mexican, the state requires we are diverse.

Or else we get sued....

They got that right first. And they got that right because they grew up in unfettered capitalism, and amassed so much wealth that they were able to BUY THE GOVERNMENT

@Virgil Exactly.

How can you purchase government pull in the economy if they have no power to exercise control over it to begin with?

Money is power

If you have enough money, you buy power

They do have power to exercise it unless we go full ancap

Interesting debate, of course. But please do understand that for every law, there is often an unintended consequence.

I wish it were a magic wand.

And that all we need to do is pass X law to control bad behavior.

That doesn't mean that lawlessness is better. "Why even try?"

I haven’t called for that.

we should do isidewith

it'll be fun

I’d enjoy that.

This debate is about unfettered Capitalism

Capitalism does indeed still have laws.

Akin to lawlessness

No.

Unfettered

Lawless

You cannot have Capitalism without legal protections on property rights.

And protection from force and fraud.

There are legal preconditions. Without those, we aren’t discussing capitalism.

I'm talking about putting restrictions on the system itself, not the restrictions inherent in the system

Perhaps we should have agreed to a definition before starting 😉

I'm taking isidewith right now
