Something something free markets fix everything.
- jfoutz 10y agoWell, how much is a kid really worth? Sure, if it's your kid, a ton, but really it's like a decade or two before we even start evaluating potential. Losing 10-30% probably isn't that big of a deal. There are a few influential thinkers who talked about this in the past, Jonathan swift is worth looking into.

- refurb 10y agoHmmmm.... The gov't has done nothing at this point, yet someone discovered there were fake foods, shared the information and consumers are now aware and avoiding them. So yeah, I'd say the free markets are working.

- refurb 10y agoWell, it looks like the free markets moved faster than the gov't in this case.
- vtlynch 10y agoSo someone doing something is automatically attributed to the free market? Im not sure that is how it works.
