I still quit . Maybe ill do these , just sometimes <| sep |> great reply , thanks <| sep |> I wonder if things you ' re not so used to seem more direct ? <| sep |> I need to try this . spez and it was goooooood <| sep |> You think she was weird as fuck . The people she was marketing herself to thought she was cool as fuck . And it worked out for her businesswise . <| sep |> Not true . Study the history of the markets . Smaller startup companies are more agile and have more ability to innovate . There is a reason that IBM does not dominate the social media landscape and why myspace and facebook are in relative decline compared to snapchat etc . These are anecdotal and came with a technology shift . A similar thing is happening with the likes of Uber AirBnb . But those aren ' t free markets either as both are subsidized . Uber is effectively being subsidized by the drivers taking life out of their vehicles they are trading wear on their vehicle for cash . Without that , Ubue could not compete , and eventually drivers will realize this , but it takes time . AirBnb is in a similar situation as their being semisubsidized by the shared areas of the apartments people are listing . If an entrepreneur , investor or employee makes a mistake , they lose money and are disincentived . We have a profit and LOSS system . Creative destruction and losses are perhaps even more important than the ' profits ' that socialists love to demonize . Yes , but the psychology of it is that people are loss averse . Housing is really really good example of this prices of housing rarely fall and certainly not far because people will hold and not take a loss as long as they can . Yet , prices can spike due to speculation very easily . While it might be true that it all evens out in the end , there is an issue with latency that can take a generation or more to correct . We are seeing this in Vancouver now housing prices are unlikely to drop so it will take a generation before young people can afford to buy there again . Legislation that smooths this out is probably a good thing as extreme volatility is bad for everyone . In capitalism , when people have bad ideas they pay the price . In government , society pays the prices as calls of ' if only we had more funding ' throws good money after bad . Again this is not strictly true . A lot CEOs never pay the price . They get rich enough to never have to worry about money again . Where ' s their incentive to do right ? I would rather have distributed bad decisions than centralized bad decisions . Don ' t get me wrong , I ' m not in favour of over legislating everything especially personal freedoms . But , free markets are an illusion . A company might appear to be more efficient because they ' re able to sell something cheaper than everyone else . Yet , in 20 years it might come out that they were only able to do that because they destroyed a local ecology in Guatemala . How are consumers supposed to know that ? Eventually they will , of course , but in the mean time said company made millions . That sort of thing needs to be prevented . What gives you or the governement the moral authority to decide what is best for people ? We ' ve decided as a group . If you don ' t like it , you are free to try to change it and I am free to try to keep it . If you don ' t like it , you can go somewhere else , if you manage to change it , I will probably go somewhere else .
