But no monopolies

2017-07-25 14:42:34 UTC  

Thats under crony cap or a keynes economy, 'too big to fail' but under free market they absolutely can fail, some would have if not for the obama bailouts

2017-07-25 14:42:46 UTC  

monopolies often happen thanks to government making it more difficult for newcomers

2017-07-25 14:43:12 UTC  

or popping up big businesses because they are too big to fail, too many people lose jobs

2017-07-25 14:43:22 UTC  

Which is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wounds

2017-07-25 14:44:00 UTC  

Free Markets you get Russia in the 1900s.

2017-07-25 14:44:06 UTC  

Workers rights get abused.

2017-07-25 14:44:16 UTC  

Under free market they would not get bailouts, and the market would turn to other products/business in its place, the best quality/value wins

2017-07-25 14:44:16 UTC  

More like early U.S days

2017-07-25 14:44:26 UTC  

When millions went there and not to be abused

2017-07-25 14:45:31 UTC  

People reee about welfare and its a socialist version of welfare, the free market version is called negative tax income and has never been used

2017-07-25 14:45:50 UTC  

There has to be some government control of the markets, to ensure the businesses aren't abusing the employees,

2017-07-25 14:46:19 UTC  

But i'm not too big on economics

2017-07-25 14:46:29 UTC  

So, it may be a bad idea.

2017-07-25 14:46:32 UTC  

Some sure, but some are also covered by the law, you can't hit your employees

2017-07-25 14:46:33 UTC  

I don't know

2017-07-25 14:46:58 UTC  

And I'm all for labour unions provided they're not mandatory

2017-07-25 14:47:04 UTC  

You can get better conditions that way

2017-07-25 14:47:13 UTC  

And ive read the sigmund freud book leftypol recommended, civilization and its discontent, about peoples egos and wanting what makes them happy - if you want change its not gonna come by way of threats

2017-07-25 14:48:16 UTC  

That goes to anyone, WNs natsocs ancaps, ancoms whatever

2017-07-25 14:48:40 UTC  

Or thats what I took away from the book

2017-07-25 14:50:31 UTC

@Timo))) hello Timo

2017-07-25 14:53:55 UTC  

hi

2017-07-25 15:14:48 UTC  

I have a question for you all: What is with the obession with economics and politics?

2017-07-25 15:15:13 UTC  

@Chillin Chum How's your summer break going, pal?

2017-07-25 15:15:23 UTC  

Summer break?

2017-07-25 15:15:45 UTC  

I graduated 6 years ago.

2017-07-25 15:15:48 UTC  

Do you go to school year round?

2017-07-25 15:16:03 UTC  

If I did. Not anymore.

2017-07-25 15:16:34 UTC  

Politics and economics are vital to society

2017-07-25 15:16:41 UTC  

and they're all fucked up

2017-07-25 15:17:06 UTC  

What if I told you that's only a small part of the story?

2017-07-25 15:17:17 UTC  

Sure, make your case

2017-07-25 15:17:25 UTC  

That it being messed up is only a symptom?

2017-07-25 15:17:41 UTC  

There's always a root cause

2017-07-25 15:18:07 UTC  

what if I told you that........

2017-07-25 15:18:24 UTC  

Ultimately I won't be able to make a wholy satisfying case, I can't just convince anyone on some intellectual ground.

2017-07-25 15:20:51 UTC  

But as far as I can tell, as long as your working with fundamental flaws in humans, or rather relatable mistakes, you'll be stuck making half-way solutions that ultimately won't work under any system if your only focused on economics and politics.
