Imagine there are 50 different services for one neighbourhood alone

@Capitán Alatriste Why would that happen?

well, if you have an absolutely free market with no entry barriers, anybody could set up shop.

Why wouldn't the neighborhood agree to have one single contract for a cheaper price?

It's cheaper in bulk

What if it's a black neighbourhood

One patrol car, 50 homes

Then no one would go there

And why not have a police force for the entire city/town? It would be more practical that way

I'm guessing one nigga is gonna come over and buy all of the local firms

@Capitán Alatriste I msure you could, yeah.

@Capitán Alatriste that's literally how it works though

kinda like a local force?

Like, NYPD?

@Deleted User yeah that's what I'm trying to get at

The glorious NYPD

@Capitán Alatriste Are people allowed to have a different company though?

but more subtly

I don't get your point tho @Capitán Alatriste

You have a general police force that oversees an entire city usually

@Capitán Alatriste Can people in this city choose to not pay this security company?

Why swap one Monopoly for another? Except the other has its interests in making profit

he's trying to get the point that the company will just serve as a state police @Deleted User

why have monopolies?

But there obviously aren't enough policemen to personally guard every single person in the city

So you can hire a private contractor to only protect you

Eventually in a free unrestricted market, monopolies develop

or oligopolies

@MountainMan And I'm, explaining that by doing that, you are now forcing people to pay for an inefficient product

@Capitán Alatriste Monopolies are not natural

monopolies have always been state sancationed

Get your econ right

Legalize gun ownership, become your own protector, hire yourself 😎

look back in history

@GeorgyBoyo Thats an option

Well if the company grows large enough then it could buy its competitors and then it would be a monopoly @MountainMan

yepp @Deleted User

But that's a bad idea

@Deleted User Monopolies are inefficient and not natural

They are natural

@Deleted User Only if you're that much of a bitch that you'll accept the money
