You seem to be forgetting the power of economies of scale. Enact your plan and you destroy the power of Federal bargaining and everything gets really expensive

You seem to be forgetting the power of economies of scale. Enact your plan and you destroy the power of Federal bargaining and everything gets really expensive really fast.
Also you've unwound the tenuous Federal solution to the tragedy of the commons. Only high level control can come anywhere close to fixing that.
- alexmingoia 6y agoBusinesses operate across multiple states, so the size of government doesn’t preclude economies of scale. I don’t understand why goods would necessarily be more expensive because a government is smaller. The price of goods is mostly a function of economics, not government price controls. Consumable goods in Singapore or Monaco sell at prices similar to other very large governments.
