Lmao

Yeah guys, make a new bank

And that shouldn't be necessary in the US

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

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.

Yes, before the monopolies.

Well, like the modern monopolies ^

There wasn't a 'Centralised Currency'

It was Barter

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

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

In the US

Backed by good will and dreams.

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

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

>in the US

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.

This is a SHORT list of problems with laissez faire

that I have literally never heard anyone address to my satisfaction

both the confederates and the union issued their own notes

You know what we should be doing

Laughing at people that advocate for a "free market"

Because they're clearly stupid.

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

It's meme tier

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

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

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

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

that is one of the problems, yes

Hence the issue we have today.

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.

**Nationalise it**

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

damn it, ninjaed me

there is a problem with that

a significant part of the long term value of Google is the fact that it is bleeding edge. State owned shit never is.

And just taking that hit is risky considering 🇨🇳

Depends on the way it's managed
