Shit you're right
The concept is retarded even without free trade and to use it as a defense for free trade is shitbrain.
I disagree with Thatcher's methods but the coal mines were inefficient and the workers were holding the government hostage
That's good
No
Yea
Its good for coal mine workers
Its not good for the country as a whole
Ya
And?
Well the industry had become bloated and inefficient and could not survive without the government propping it up
We aren't talking about Britain first of all
We are talking about America
The concept of competitive advantage is a truism
Socialist countries practiced it
Fudal lords practiced it
I do not believe in free trade
Second of all once the government props up those industries again (either through nationalizing or bailing out) it doesn't become any more inefficient.
No it isn't
A government proping up an industry means it's inefficient
A government running an industry ≠ government proping up an industry
I believe that it isn't good but I don't think if the government props up a industry means it is any more inefficient.
They can prop it up through means of nationalizing
No they didn't LOL
'Ah yes, socialist countries had competition.'
The Soviet Union had special zones for specific production
And traded internally
They didn't have comparative advantage tho
Competitive advantage is a concept not a policy
Yeah and that concept doesn't apply to Socialism
Its like Darwinism, either you acknowledge it or you are wrong
'Darwinism is right'
Lol
Neo-Darwinian Tard here
I'm not here to argue the evolution vs the creation though
You aren't a creationist are you
I'm neither
Like an unironic "the earth is 6000 years old"
How is Darwinism right
Darwinism is correct because things that perpetuate themselves carry on and things that don't do not carry on
