This entire thread you argued that our government isn't too intrusive, now it is? I'm glad you finally agree.2001400ex said:Ah the anti government people just showed up. I like it. Yes government is shitty. Yes taxes suck. Yes some regulations are bullshit. But this is a fact: Government is a necessary evil. I'm with ya on arguing that government is too intrusive and other shit. But you can't argue that corporations will act in the people's best interest.

Natural resources are commodities, the prices of which are held in check by supply and demand. Scarcity of resources is a check on resource depletion. As the supply lessens, price goes up until it becomes prohibitively expensive for that resource to be used in any profitable venture. The market is then forced to come up with a more viable alternative. We saw this when the scarcity of wood drove the market to respond with the industrial revolution in the 1800s. It will happen again with oil.salemcoog said:
There are no profitable sewage systems. Some Government is needed.Fenderbender123 said:Government can't run shit well. No surprise.
On the flip side, the fastest growing city in India has no functional government.

And yeah, I get it...they have no sewage! There's traffic problems! Sure, every city has problems...especially in India. And honestly, they do get the sewage out via transportation, and could form a sewage system once it's profitably.
But how can you argue with the fact that so many people in India are eager to move there? It's obviously less of a shithole than all the cities that have a functional government in that country.
It's the same shit with Somalia...Somalia is a shithole, sure...but it's become LESS of a shithole since the government was all but dismantled. That's what people fail to look at...
Pointing to shitholes like Somalia and parts of India and how they may be a little less shitty to live in than their neighbors with the same functioning government doesn't prove anything.
There will indeed need to be some sort of hybrid economy. Capitalism is all based on growth. If it can't grow, it implodes. There are only so many resources on this planet and eventually growth will stop. -
The government can usurp their ability to defend themselves and commit mass genocide, though.WeAreAFatLesboSchool said:Just when I thought Honda couldn't be any more of an ignorant dipshit, he proves me wrong. Fuck man. You're part of the problem. Too bad you and those like you can't just commit mass suicide all at once.

Funny how socialist nations have trouble producing really hard to manufacture items that require vast technical skill like toilet paper and food.
