I mean, has there any empirical evidence disproven any of those base assumptions?

In econ the easiest part is to create a model, the hardest part is seeing it crash against reality. But the basis of monopolies seems to be pretty thoroughly tested. The biggest issues you have now are Chesterton Fence's. Were its hard to know what laws and regulations are therefore safety, parity and economic performance and ones are only creating friction with no benefit due to years of laws being put on top of other laws

  • Went from nice to rude in no time.

    4chan greentext style over substance is cute, but its outdated and wasnt that funny a decade ago

    if you have nothing to add, then why reply?

    • I have never been nice, but I admit I have no better literary device to concisely express my sentiment towards your flawed position, to put it nicely.

      I am pro-regulation, where regulation for me is busting monopolies, preventing tragedy of commons, setting necessary quality checks, forbidding forced labor. I am against regulation, when it's chat control, 100% tarrifs on whatever, forbidding working on Friday past 17:00 and completely on Weekends. < Why do I even have to point this out?

      There's no nuance remaining in this world, people (the proselytizing nerd types) emotionally attach themselves to sophistry that is the spelled-out economic theories, while completely disregarding common sense. Missing forest for trees.

      In short - fuck America.
