man historically has congregated

2018-12-14 22:21:29 UTC  

that's why we have civilization

2018-12-14 22:21:50 UTC  

Apes are rarely solitary creatures as well.

2018-12-14 22:21:52 UTC  

We have civilization because man can use others as a means to achieve his goals

2018-12-14 22:22:09 UTC  

think of regulation. Back in the 80s then every single piece for every part of a computer was proprietary to model and manafacturer. It wasn't until the 90s that government made (and industry capitulated) standards spread and became common use. Think of what state the PC building world would be if it was still like that?

2018-12-14 22:22:15 UTC  

Apes are also social animals, astute observation.

2018-12-14 22:22:16 UTC  

People work alone crafting something all the time

2018-12-14 22:23:02 UTC  

even in a free market, there is a natural inclination to form a goverment of kinds anyway like the IEEE

2018-12-14 22:23:12 UTC  

Not an ancap

2018-12-14 22:23:31 UTC  

ancap just does what henry ford did and shoot dissenters

2018-12-14 22:24:04 UTC

Rewind 2018 has 11M dislikes now

2018-12-14 22:24:18 UTC  

lol

2018-12-14 22:24:23 UTC  

and if you have sufficient monopoly power and no government, what's to stop you?

2018-12-14 22:24:32 UTC  

can't boycott you

2018-12-14 22:24:38 UTC

2018-12-14 22:24:44 UTC  

and yes, henry ford had strike breakers shoot and kill people striking against his company

2018-12-14 22:24:57 UTC  

It is impossible to control all the water or food supply

2018-12-14 22:25:03 UTC  

nonsense

2018-12-14 22:25:14 UTC  

Even if you own alot its the markets value on you

2018-12-14 22:25:19 UTC  

You clearly have a very warped idea of impossible.

2018-12-14 22:25:19 UTC  

6 companies control all the food being manafactured

2018-12-14 22:25:28 UTC  

^

2018-12-14 22:25:35 UTC  

6 so competition exists

2018-12-14 22:25:37 UTC  

Lmao

2018-12-14 22:25:42 UTC  

and even then, those 6 can merge

2018-12-14 22:25:48 UTC  

and likely work together

2018-12-14 22:25:54 UTC  

Is it in their interests

2018-12-14 22:25:57 UTC  

yes

2018-12-14 22:26:00 UTC  

yes, very much so

2018-12-14 22:26:01 UTC  

Why would they merge?

2018-12-14 22:26:05 UTC  

to raise prices

2018-12-14 22:26:09 UTC  

Why havent they?

2018-12-14 22:26:12 UTC  

because they would be the 1 company that gets to decide anything

2018-12-14 22:26:13 UTC  

because its illegal

2018-12-14 22:26:16 UTC  

Standard Oil at peak controlled 91% of the fuel market in the US.

2018-12-14 22:26:28 UTC  

@Existence is identity is right. i live off grid. i farm.and the amount of wild edibles just on my property could feed 3 family's year round

2018-12-14 22:26:29 UTC  

Couldn't boycott them if you wanted fuel.

2018-12-14 22:26:33 UTC  

monopoly laws enforced by the goverment make it illegal

2018-12-14 22:26:46 UTC  

@Zer0 most people don't live like you do, though
