Corporations don't give a shit about innovation, they care about money.

It's the reason why our Internet infrastructure is such shit in the US. Cable Companies don't want to invest in providing a better profit, better to form a cartel among themselves, split the market, and scalp their customers in tandem.

I swear, people pretend like "they totally know corporations only purpose is to make a profit" without understanding what that means.

Wait, what? How does a game somehow translate into an increased service? Are you mixing analogies or are you trying to imply a company like Google tries to release Fiber Optics to enter the cable market? Because we know from example how that goes down, Google gets thrown out of the market place.

>Also, there's not enough competition because ---- Regulation

I like how unsubstantiated this is, it's really like you're paroting talking points because you've never thought critically about the problem.

It would be like me saying

You are, legitimately, too stupid to have this conversation with. The oligopoly is sustained by regulation, fucktard. There, I interacted with an idiot on the interwebs, fuck.

Also - to do this point by point - when Pokemon Go came out, it was so popular that wireless companies across the board started adding bigger plans. Google didn't try to enter the cable market, they didn't get thrown out of the market place. They did the google fiber thing in certain places to goad providers into competing with them and offering larger plans. They created a demand, purposefully.

Again. You're just too fucking stupid for this. Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.

Many would die due to lack of workplace safety.
Many children would work in labor and production.
Many bodies of water and national forestland would be cleared or polluted.
Many riots or worker protests would break out.
Many currently standing class action lawsuits would vanish.
Many corporations would move operation and production to already present production centers, as building new ones would take more than a year's time.
Many monopolies would be created out of corporate buyouts or mergers.
Many towns or counties will come under the control of corporations, much like Hersey Town, where the residents live off full reliance to currency The Corporations print.
Many small businesses would wither be bought out entirely or be ran into bankruptcy.
Many terror organizations would be sold weapons without secrecy, and in much greater numbers.
Many companies will adopt markets that were once totally illegal, such as drugs and prostitution.
Many companies will adopt false claims of eco safety, child friendliness, or other good looking titles that may or may not be true to compete with opposing companies.
Many fields that previously had restrictions on production and distribution will make many advancements, such as agriculture and medicine.
Many fields in which have no major restrictions will not make innovation, and at times may actually begin to fall out of popularity. Automation progress will halt due to vastly cheap labor, computing will not make any greater advancements than it usually would.
Many, if not most people will fall below the poverty line due to low pay and sudden layoffs.

Once you get really good at one thing, branch out. It's easy now, information is everywhere. Your second skill comes easier than the first, and they just keep getting easier after that. I, honestly, wish things were hard to do again like they used to be. I miss the challenge.

Do you think all jobs will be paid less than minimum wage? Are there going to be no charities?

Those that shouldn't be alive, will die and the system will work better.
>>
>>129997929
The trouble is though that most people don't have the drive or even the capability to learn a new skill. I'm sure it's the same in the US: there are so many people who grumble about their current sub-par life situation, without doing anything to change. It's so frustrating, and I don't understand the people who think this way.

Nonetheless,perhaps I'm too soft, but laziness shouldn't necessarily be a death sentence in this day and age. We're not animals. If your way of thinking were carried out, there would be certain groups of people who would be permanently marginalised if not killed off entirely. That can't be good for any society.

I'm Libertarian actually, and think regulation should be carried out at a minimum possible level. However a true 'libertarian paradise' would require a complete renaissance of thinking from within both leadership and the general populace. That's not likely to happen anywhere in the world anytime soon.

There are local, county, municipal, state, and federal regulations and deals that protect and regulate these companies. Look them up. There's a whole FTC to manage most of them.

Government corruption is a whole other can of worms, but I think our problem is one of perspective.

What I see in the described scenario is a failure to uphold the spirit of regulations, which is to enforce fair competition and safeguard public interest. While your purported solution is to get rid of regulations in their entirety, is there any mechanism in this sytem that would still prevent the arising of monopolies and the like?

What would stop cable companies from, say, merging into one entity like Bell Systems and crushing any new competition to the market?

There's no gratitude. Nothing, just, give me my stuff! Meanwhile that stuff saved their life, and was given because we cared. That care is thrown back in our faces.

>A monopoly can't stop businesses from competing that are competitive.

Sure it can- whether it's as indirect as the monopoly lowering prices for their product or service until it's virtually free or as direct as buying the competition out- monopolies have an enormous toolbox of tricks and tactics for removing competitors that have historically proven effective. I'm kind of surprised we'd even need to debate this.

>It is in the people's best interests to have the best products at the best price. If a monopoly is offering that, I don't see the problem. They employ and pay workers, etc. If someone is innovative enough to come up with a way to compete, then they are viable.

I think part of the problem here is that it's not in the monopolies interest to provide the best service for the best price. Corporations a sole purpose is to make money- remember? They want to provide the shittiest product or service possible for the most expensive price feasible. Otherwise they'd just be leaving money on the table, and that's just bad business.

Well if all the regulations were dropped but not government intervention then it would be a mass grab of monopoly forming, hostile takeovers, and plummeting work conditions. Essentially the big banks would grab every single asset previously denied to them and kick the white peons in the teeth for ever daring to suppose they shouldn't be chinese-tier wageslaves.

Now if the ancaps got their way and no government involvement then there would be no bailouts to save the banks from bad decisions and the whole thing would come crashing down before the year was out and then devolve into a level of anarchy that Max Rockatansky would feel comfortable in.

You're talking about regulation perverted by corporate interests in the form of lobbyists. I think it's disingenuous to use that as an reason to remove rules from corporations in their entirety.

Okay. I read the Sherman Act which is the first of the anti-trust laws to be passed and I find there's no logical precedent for the people, that made the Sherman Act to be justifiably passed.

Also I haven't slept all night. It's 5 in the morning so if I don't make sense, it's not my genes.

>Corporations a sole purpose is to make money- remember? They want to provide the shittiest product or service possible for the most expensive price feasible.

I don't think so. Otherwise, why would McDonald's try to make their food look good and somewhat close enough to look good enough to eat. I don't know if you play games but there are some games with microtransactions. The developers can sell the integrity of the game for quick milks but why do that when you can milk the audience for that? Your business may be to create the most amount of profit but the customers aren't going to eat literal shit for food. The business has to at least mask the shitiness. However in the end, the consumer decides what is good for him.

Essentially milking your customers is a lot better than just liquidating value at them for first sight because it's more profitable.

That's the true value of something. I would expect a barter system until a new currency can be developed. If you raise the minimum wage to 100 dollars, prices would go up right? What happens if you remove it? It goes down so 50 cents is not a problem. At least it isn't Zimbabwe dollars.

On top of that, expect big corporations to collude and kill any smaller businesses, get a monopoly, price fix everything and basically the whole world gone to shit.

>>129994297
Explain how a free market will prevent collusion and price fixing. Isn't a free market devoid of regulation after all? Including colluding with others and price fixing?

Yeah, think a bit next time before spewing your shitty free market theory. It doesn't work. It needs regulation, or else everything else turn to shit. It aint worth the few pennies you save for all the trouble.

Why would that be the case? I can see it happening to water but not everything.

>>130002728

Because not everything is going to be acquired by large corporations and not everyone is going to sell off their property. The Amish exist and they have their own Austen separate from everyone else. There's always going to be rebellion groups trying to fight against the top dogs. Social ostracism still exists. I suggest you argue this with Molymeme. I along with the rest of the listeners will enjoy the call no matter the outcome.

regulations are good in most areas but the regulation enforcement of the energy industry has been a disaster since it began in California.

The Sherman Trust Act was in part about trying to enfore a competitive market place. I'd argue the public benefits from a healthy, competitive market.

>Otherwise, why would McDonald's try to make their food look good and somewhat close enough to look good enough to eat

Probably because no one would eat their food if it looked like actual shit, it looks pretty nasty as it is already.

>I don't know if you play games but there are some games with microtransactions. The developers can sell the integrity of the game for quick milks but why do that when you can milk the audience for that?

I'm having a hard time parsing this, nut I think you're referring to companies that don't have microtransactions when they could, but instead maintain their integrity. I have enormous respect for these corporations, and you might even be able to argue there's a profit incentive in maintaining a loyal customer base, but what you should understand is that most CEOs and corporate shareholder boards often times are only looking as far as the next business quarter. They want to generate profit as reliably as possible as quickly as possible, expecting a corporation to serve anybody except its own needs is a little naive.

>Your business may be to create the most amount of profit but the customers aren't going to eat literal shit for food. The business has to at least mask the shitiness. However in the end, the consumer decides what is good for him.

If we're still talking about monopolies than yes, customers will eat shit for food if it's the only option provided them. Hell, we have a minor case with Epipen ongoing right now and it's not even technically a monopoly. The corporation is price gouging their customers at an absurd rate for a relatively cheap product because their customers HAVE to buy it. Their lives are at stake otherwise.

>he doesnt understand regulations keep the monopolies in place creating a market with no competition thus no incentive to improve
>>
>>130003051
That's where you are wrong. All big companies have to do is undercut their new competitors, sometimes selling at a loss (which is something walmart actually does). Once the competitor goes bankrupt, they raise the prices again. There is no competition then since they have a monopoly. This works even best when there are 2 companies sharing the mrket. They collude, sell at a loss, the competitor goes away, and they raise back the prices like crazy.

Your fairy tales about a free market are plain wrong. No regulations means they'll do everything to stay on top, and that at the cost of both the consumers, and population.

Why are regulations good in some areas?

Why is a competitive market good?

Purpose of McDonald's argument, there has to appear to have some kind of quality.

Reliable is the key word there. So in your reality, you have two possible outcomes for a company. You have the business go on a path for a monopoly or it shuts down. Now as responsible for the ceo, the shareholders understand that there's always a limited money gain given circumstances. Loss of customers is a big no no. Customers may be dumb but they're not braindead, if you are McDonald's, you're going to make your burgers as cheap as possible, while it making customers still want to go there. You do not want to lose your customers. You could make burgers a bit more expensive but the customers who are the poorest will leave McDonald's. Even as a monopoly you do not want to lose your customers. Let's say a monopolistic water company is rising up prices cause lol why not.You can't raise up water to more than humanly possible to get every week, cause people will die. Okay so you raise it just enough to make it tense for the poorest. Like I said earlier, but are going to revolt, people are going to complain, you're going to expect something to happen. How do you think the French revolution happened? Bad things will happen to this water company. Why risk that? Just innovate more products.

Do you know what happened with epipen? Now they have a cheaper version of epipen because it got super bad publicity.

I'm not talking about corporations. I'm talking about people. Hipsters exist. You don't go to McDonald's to get a burger just cause it's cheap. There's a bunch of other burger joints that have better atmosphere. A breath of new life. There are going to be contarians. I don't think everything lasts forever. Explain the French revolution and how the government of France held a monopoly of the people. French revolution happened.

Ok so if companies like Walmart can already do what you're bitching about in the current system then why do you think getting rid of government involvement entirely is going to turn the world into some type of hellscape? Commies are so retarded.

>>129992235
I know what i would do, claim sovereignty in some shit hole coutries, build an army and destroy my economic enemies with nasty biological and chemical attacks. I would also ingnore every patent known to man and build innovative products that exceed all it's predecessors by years, from medicine to automotives. Furthermore I will do research in stuff you would not beleive possible. With a vast hoard of human specimens I will create a superhuman hybrid, speed up all rinds of tests on for instance medication. I will also host sex slave parties and gladiator fights for my personell. They will drink wine from the skulls of my enemies while watching mutated dwarfs fuck eachother to death to grand arena's in their hovercars tripping on superacid.
