@DrDiGiorgio If our system is more private and more customer centric how do they get away with opaque pricing and anti consumer anti competitive billing?

If a public system represents people that voted and effectively checks pricing isn’t that system more pro consumer?

@MinorityM1ndset And they don’t care and can outvote other groups so it will continue.

Either a change happens or wealth transfer happens through inheritance benefitting incumbents.

Austin Texas = change = supply increase

California = incumbent protection = wealth determined by inheritance

@davidpattersonx I still want to explore and camp on a motorcycle.

I don’t think that’s psychopathic.

I’m totally open to adding different safety technologies though.

@StephenMoore Bad one dimensional take

@GovCox Utahans do charity! Let’s go!

@YIMBYLAND The Salt Lake City crowd freaked out blocked the gondola and now our traffic to ski resorts is horrendous.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@TomSteyer True but we really need them to enter the legal market.

We can’t have this dual half illegal half legal.

If there’s a rule everyone needs to follow it.

@MarketAnarchyRx @RockChartrand Which is the point I’m making. It’s the default state that doesn’t proliferate. It abuses market conditions and is often not a long lasting durable system.

Some form of regulation usually tempers the most extreme market behaviors. (Ie SEC regulations give investor confidence)

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@MarketAnarchyRx @RockChartrand The distortions it creates are predictable, and even though anarcho capitalism may gain a cult following it struggles to point to a living proof example of a system that works without consistent crisis.

When it’s introduced to a segment of the market it rarely lasts.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@MarketAnarchyRx @RockChartrand This 0 regulation imagination you all believe in quickly disappears because it doesn’t work whenever it’s introduced.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@MarketAnarchyRx @RockChartrand Communist command economies failed under stress.

The US population never experienced the Holodomor.

Over time if you have a good idea it will proliferate.

If an idea is good it makes the place better.

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand That’s the point of our government. Not everyone is justified declaring themselves sovereign citizens.

They get a vote and some rights to protect them from majority abuses, then they are compelled to go with the vote.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand And better options for price and services.

Places where only the private dominates = ski resorts that charge $300 / ticket

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand USPS vs FedEx
Private vs public schools
Private vs public healthcare Germany

Tons of choice and freedom

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand I will immediately cede that some government can be parasitical but an intelligent discussion in my view shouldn’t be “government bad private good”

Or “private bad government good”

We should understand what functions well in a market, and what doesn’t.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand The revolutionary war was fought so that we are only taxed after we have representation.

All our taxes are a derivative of our votes, and not without representation.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@barsan8r @pulyus @RockChartrand A parasite strictly takes from a host and has no benefit to the host.

Government isn’t inherently parasitic in all its forms.

We pay taxes and in return get to have property rights in America as insured by the military.

The government can have a beneficial role.

[deviantZygote @deviantZygote]

@davocorbulo @thegreenandgrey @MarketAnarchyRx @RockChartrand This is actually substantial and we can talk about it.

I agree with you.

We have bloated many things and government and need to slim them down, remove them in some cases but there is an important role for some things the government does.
