Yeah , you ' re right . Forgot about that bit . <| sep |> Me has no choice , will fucking die during the winter , is to poor to create my own power systems . Gov absolutely has the power to tax . Companies absolutely have the power to not extract . One of these things is not like the others . <| sep |> You miss all the holding by the Lions ? <| sep |> To be fair , free market capitalism has had a LOT to do with the improving conditions of nearly everyone worldwide . But the reality is that it doesn ' t work well without a healthy dose of regulation and it is problematic for expensive and necessary things like healthcare , education and food supply . For example , single payer healthcare is not going to instantly solve our healthcare crisis any better than the free market . The problems are much deeper and will take a top to bottom overhaul , all while medicine is advancing and changing rapidly . The free market will be unlikely to come up with a very good solution anytime soon , and any government overhaul will also take a long time to end with a good solution . But judging from the various attempts the world over , socialized medicine seems like the winner , whereas free market technology and manufacturing seems to be the winner . Another thing to consider is that the free market has been great for the last 100 years , but with increasing automation and artificial intelligence , maybe it will be inferior to other models in the future . It will be an interesting ride .
