It wouldn't take long for the Big Dogs to turn you into a serf if regulations weren't in place to stop it. Want water, prostitute your wife. Wanna eat, work 12-hour days, buy from the company store, live in the company house. It doesn't take much study of history to see what happens without Government at least somewhat on your side.California wrote:The law and order part of government is fine, I'm not some anarchocapitalist weirdo; I'm talking about how people think regulating business as part of that same thing is what's choking the marketMartin Hash wrote:Dude, government goes away for a month, somebody will be stripping your clothes from a cold, dead body.California wrote: My food and clothes are not government provided now either. All the government does is get in the way of the market working correctly

In a sort of funny way you have a point. Sort of. The state is monopolized violence; no more, no less. I guess we can agree on that.

p.s. My mom went off on me yesterday because of my "Sanctimonious Superiority" podcast. She saw herself in it & was appalled. (I didn't have my mom in mind when I wrote that.)
