@The Librarian

Imagine being so woke you think you know what every house rent price should be

housing is the most toxic market tho

the most anti consumer

Lets introduce a toxic and corrupt institution into the mix, that'll fix it

probably wont

but how does one even fix that?

housing is a 100% safe investment

the more you buy, the more power you have

then you can raise rent

and you will make more and more money from it

housing market makes the rich richer and the poor poorer

As free market as I am I geniunely don't know enough about housing issues other than artificially low interest rates and pretty high amounts of regulation for construction companies when it comes to getting building permits

And the issues with social housing

Oh and also tax incentives on owning houses vs profiting other ways, doesn't get capital gains taxed so more money flows into houses pushing up prices for people trying to get income from their money

im not that much of a free market person

im a center left nationalist

capitalism needs its regulation and limits to prevent it from ruining people

Nay fam

Government regulation hurts the lower classes the most

Who do you think benifits from those regulations and limits?
Big business

Small business cant afford it the big ones can

Just helps create "monopolies"

Also that's why big business has massive amounts of it's budget for lobbying so they can help change the law and regulation in it's favour against smaller competitors

it depends on the kind of regulation

Idk when it comes to regulation it's just a back door into government for big business to pay for favours.
That or another way for Government to take more money from the market in general

Pretty cynical of me but that's how I see it anyway

back door into gov for business - depends on how much lobbyism is accepted

Lobbyism is innate when government has power that businesses can use

true

Thats why I dont think the government should be involved in regulating markets like they do

I hear 'anal sunshine' and I think I'm not supposed to hear that

"Government regulation hurts the lower classes the most"

Citation needed.

Last I saw, companies were dumping all kinds of harmful shit into people's drinking water to cut corners. It was the EPA not the free market that helped cut down on that.
