sure

2018-07-17 15:03:42 UTC  

Is the price of that good free?

2018-07-17 15:04:04 UTC  

Do you ever need to repair or replace the machines?

2018-07-17 15:04:18 UTC  

No

2018-07-17 15:04:28 UTC  

They are self repairing

2018-07-17 15:04:34 UTC  

Now id wager

2018-07-17 15:04:56 UTC  

so let's Steelman this experiment, and make you God. You can manifest anything you wish, break the laws of conservation of energy, etc.

2018-07-17 15:05:18 UTC  

And let's give this ability to everyone

2018-07-17 15:05:25 UTC  

That the value of the good is based on the power and capital needed to produce it, plus the time value and convienience

2018-07-17 15:05:28 UTC  

And then ask, what is the price of some random thing on the market

2018-07-17 15:05:38 UTC  

Nothing

2018-07-17 15:05:43 UTC  

why?

2018-07-17 15:06:14 UTC  

Because you have no capital needed to make anything. Everyone can make anything

2018-07-17 15:06:20 UTC  

define capital?

2018-07-17 15:06:38 UTC  

Investment needed to get more money

2018-07-17 15:06:42 UTC  

Or capital

2018-07-17 15:07:26 UTC  

If im a working class i can save the capital i earn to create more capital

2018-07-17 15:07:37 UTC  

Then i could make my own business

2018-07-17 15:07:46 UTC  

Employ other people

2018-07-17 15:08:05 UTC  

And if everyone did that?

2018-07-17 15:08:13 UTC  

Where would you get the people to employ?

2018-07-17 15:08:26 UTC  

if everyone became some small shop owner.

2018-07-17 15:08:46 UTC  

what do you think would happen to your labor pool

2018-07-17 15:08:54 UTC  

There will always be people just starting out

2018-07-17 15:08:58 UTC  

Young people

2018-07-17 15:09:12 UTC  

Young people make up how much of the population

2018-07-17 15:09:18 UTC  

And there will always be people not good enough to escape the working class

2018-07-17 15:09:31 UTC  

Not everyone is cut out for being a business owner

2018-07-17 15:09:55 UTC  

There is a large amount of the population that just wants to labor and party on the weekends

2018-07-17 15:09:57 UTC  

Then die

2018-07-17 15:09:57 UTC  

Besides the issue of money, running a business ain't hard

2018-07-17 15:10:21 UTC  

Ahh and there lies the problem

2018-07-17 15:10:25 UTC  

I've worked in stores where the owner is literally in Venezuela and has not even set foot in the country since the store opened a year ago

2018-07-17 15:10:29 UTC  

You are a commie lmao

2018-07-17 15:10:52 UTC  

"If only i had some money it would be so easy"

2018-07-17 15:10:52 UTC  

The owner doesn't "run" anything. He just looks at his profitability.

2018-07-17 15:10:59 UTC  

Wow

2018-07-17 15:11:04 UTC  

How old are you?

2018-07-17 15:11:15 UTC  

Have you ever run a store before?

2018-07-17 15:11:29 UTC  

No but i know people that do

2018-07-17 15:11:32 UTC  

Im only 21
