I am seeing more and more the inverted, countries that are capitalists against free market
America is only free market when it comes to policies that protect consumers. When it comes to anything else it’s a fucking free-for-all.
What? Protect them how? The stock market is Vegas and the house always wins.
What they mean is policies to protect consumers “cannot be done because we want a free market” but any situation that results in making more money is A-OK even if it’s not friendly to a free market.
Aaaaaahhhh!
I’m saying that when legislation is proposed to protect the consumer/people, everyone’s excuse to not support those kinds of laws involve the hand of the free market. In actuality our government has been captured by the owner class and they change the laws in their favor when they are getting fucked by the hand of the free market.
Ah gotcha
what a fat American thing to say, and I’m a fat American.
no surprise that you have a lemmy.ca account.
the free market no longer exists. my proof? the current state of the American stock exchange. it’s been weaponized by private investment firms to assassinate business targets that either won’t play the cabals game, or happen to be a strategic target for a wider game.
the fact that large companies have so much power at their disposal, and are even brazen enough to use that power unfettered, proves that the free market is dead.
the US is a plutocracy, most just don’t realize it yet.
