Then its not price fixing, thats the market price. If I produce 3 fidgets a week and they all sell by monday morning, Id raise the price.

Ok, I have an idea, lets stop printing new money directly into the housing market through the federal reserve. Without it, there is no guarentee that a house will appreciate, in fact most homes would be considered depreciating assets. The c

Oh, my bad, I assumed you were trying to be belligerent on basic economics not containing this information. Id actually be happy to adopt just about any world religions economic regulation, as opposed to what we have today.

You know, maybe some people arent cut out for economics, but, the spirit of rothbard compels me, economic education is for the masses so I will provide a quote from chapter 2, prices and cost subsection. "While you may put whatever pri

Start with an insult, that will signal to others that you are intellectually superior without having to ever demonstrate an iota of actual economic reasoning. If you want to know where bubbles came from, you should have just asked, its call

And yet, property is for sale everywhere, go check zillow. You might not like the price, I imagine anybody looking to buy property to rent out probably has similar feelings; ultimately though, if they are using this "price fixing"

Well, I wouldnt belittle you for getting your economic education, the bible, Qur'an and others have discussed some economic matters; though, it may be advisable to consult one of the best economic textbooks regarding economic matters.

Except, at 64% its not really fixing prices, is it?

Its a book on basic economic reasoning, price signals, competition, those things are covered from a principled basis, sorry if it doesnt ctrl+f to tell you how irrational the idea of price fixing is.

I submit that the long term issues we are having in the united states, are in fact the result of short term solutions. Also, standard oil controlled more like 90% of the market, so in that context they had lost more like 25% by the time the

What does "send nato in" sound like to you? Do you think other countries are cool with you violating their borders?

There is property for sale in probably every corner of the world, you dont need to build anything.

Sure, I would recommend you start with "basic economics", 5th edition, by thomas sowell.

Why would you compare landlords to OPEC? One organization has the backing of several militaries, including ours, defending their market position by threat of war. If you try to sidestep them you could end up like iraq. Price fixing in the m

Specialization, how much time out of my day do I have to worry about the price, if I am dealing with the city trying to get the water fixed, or repaving the driveway, or handling customer complaints? It can be more efficient to pay a modest

I find the pernicious belief that prices could be fixed in the market itself more dangerous than the dumbest price fixing scheme of all time. Let it play out, so we can all remember that price fixing doesnt work, and we might actually see s

Except, setting higher prices doesnt discouage competition, it encourages it. It makes it far more profitable to undercut anyone foolish enough to buy into this strategy.

You think invading countries is a plausible way to stop people from cyberattacking the united states? How many people would you say youll have to kill?

Invade a country that had nothing to do with it?

by Geisterde 3y ago
You might think about geopolitics a bit too much if you reach for article 5 because of cyber crime, maybe a bit too much wargaming in your head, things are kind of tense these days and I dont think invading a country would be an appropriate

In some sense, they are a company like any other, why restrict their ability to advertise? Then again, its not exactly good intentions that got us here.

By the time the lawsuit against standard oil had concluded, they had lost market share, because price fixing doesnt work in real life, as more than a few industrialists have had to learn the hard way. Rents and mortgages are too high, but y

I still believe treatment centers would be preferable, I just dont think its reasonable to expect that to happen. Requiring sobriety tests helps, I would suppose, the people that are actually interested in getting better, though many homele

Dude its called air conditioning, and we can grow the world economy to put it in every hut in africa within the decade if people are free, its impossible to "reverse" the effects havent you heard?

I believe only reactors used in the navy have this characteristic, the poison transients from adjusting load to quickly (and maybe having to shim for temperature) on a commerical reactor are liable to cause an unplanned shutdown.

I really like the idea, maybe eyes and gaze come across as a bit creepy though.
