hai
i think the only downside to capitalism is the formation of monopolies
thats why you need a free market
so competition can prevent it
monopolies get formed cause of regulations pushed by the reigning monopolies.
yeeeep sure like the silicon valley monopoly?
those are kept alive by government
well that's why anti-trust laws are important
yep
Thats not saying that all regulations are bad.
@Strufa if you use their services instead of the free alternatives thats on you
we should actually make a regulation to avoid monopolies
the US is not a pure free market economy
it's a mixed market
But some are systematically designed to keep one monopoly in power over competing companies.
everything will lead to monopolies
lol
thats the nature of production
oh, you silly goyim ...
oy
veh
try to open a new bank and see how it works out
if it does, you're in a free market
i don't have the moolah for a bank 😉
Ok, intellectual property rights, have they gone too far?
bank wont loan me money
as if banks had money
look at internet providers in USA
how its that not a monopoly?
it is
theres satelites
but they pay the anti-thrust people to look the other way
Hold on.
you CAN use local ISPs, though
radio frequency operators are given a monopoly and only because they have that monopoly can the system work at all
