Then make a new bank

2019-08-10 00:34:28 UTC  

@The Electric Lizard patent trolls

2019-08-10 00:34:35 UTC  

>New Bank

2019-08-10 00:34:37 UTC  

Yeah at this point we basically just need a new country

2019-08-10 00:34:37 UTC  

Lmao

2019-08-10 00:34:37 UTC  

Yeah guys, make a new bank

2019-08-10 00:34:48 UTC  

And that shouldn't be necessary in the US

2019-08-10 00:34:52 UTC  

BTW, it's your fault, because YOU didn't make a new bank.

2019-08-10 00:35:13 UTC  

We have no way to defend ourselves NOW against the Mongol Horde but STEALING people's money through taxes to fund an army would be immoral. Well, I guess ONE DAY we will work out a way to defend ourselves... For now, there literally is nothing we can do but die. @Weez

A couple generations ago, people made their own banks all the time.

2019-08-10 00:35:35 UTC  

Yes, before the monopolies.

2019-08-10 00:35:44 UTC  

Well, like the modern monopolies ^

2019-08-10 00:35:51 UTC  

There wasn't a 'Centralised Currency'

2019-08-10 00:35:57 UTC  

It was Barter

2019-08-10 00:36:14 UTC  

Paper money didn't appear til, what, the early 1900s?

2019-08-10 00:36:31 UTC  

Nice """"""""fiat"""""""" money guys

2019-08-10 00:36:35 UTC  

In the US

2019-08-10 00:36:40 UTC  

Backed by good will and dreams.

2019-08-10 00:36:45 UTC  

You know how you spot a bad ideology? It doesn't work in the real world.

2019-08-10 00:37:50 UTC  

@Omar_The_OMAP I believe banks were issuing promiseary notes as far back in to the 1600s in europe

2019-08-10 00:38:26 UTC

Capital HAS nationality, the hardware of geography makes some places more prone to success then others, theft is more profitable then trade if you can get away with it, being richer allows you to get away with it.

2019-08-10 00:39:06 UTC  

This is a SHORT list of problems with laissez faire

2019-08-10 00:39:22 UTC  

that I have literally never heard anyone address to my satisfaction

2019-08-10 00:39:25 UTC  

both the confederates and the union issued their own notes

2019-08-10 00:40:02 UTC  

You know what we should be doing

2019-08-10 00:40:15 UTC  

Laughing at people that advocate for a "free market"

2019-08-10 00:40:19 UTC  

Because they're clearly stupid.

2019-08-10 00:40:49 UTC  

I'm unironically for a rather free market, but full on laissez faire is obvious bananas

2019-08-10 00:41:05 UTC  

It's meme tier

2019-08-10 00:41:41 UTC  

some markets in some fields can maybe be laissez faire, but not the entire economy

2019-08-10 00:41:48 UTC  

The involvement of the state is not only preferred, but is necessary in certain areas / ways

2019-08-10 00:42:12 UTC  

To ensure the consumer, environment or state isn't negatively effected

2019-08-10 00:42:28 UTC  

the problem is large companies use their market power to muscle out smaller competitors to maintain their monopoly/duopoly

2019-08-10 00:42:37 UTC  

that is one of the problems, yes

2019-08-10 00:42:38 UTC  

Hence the issue we have today.

2019-08-10 00:45:06 UTC  

google, to go back to that example, is an INCREDIBLE intelligence and general military asset. Allowing it to do whatever it wants is just madness.

2019-08-10 00:45:53 UTC  

**Nationalise it**

2019-08-10 00:45:58 UTC  

really, the US would be wise declare it a utility and to buy it out.

2019-08-10 00:46:12 UTC  

damn it, ninjaed me

2019-08-10 00:46:13 UTC  

there is a problem with that
