Between who? And at the expense of cheap, readily available, quality services?
- asddubs 5y agobetween regular people and companies. I don't think it has to come at the expense of those things, a company doesn't have to be the size and scope of google to be efficient.
- thegrimmest 5y agoCompanies are made up of regular people, there is no clear distinction between the two. Efficiency is a spectrum, the more efficient a company, the more the poorest of us benefit from cheaper services. Capping efficiency punishes everyone.
- asddubs 5y agoarmies are also made up of regular people, that doesn't mean they're incapable of doing harm on a scale beyond the individual. you're also falsely equating size and efficiency
- thegrimmest 5y agoAnd once these regular people decide in numbers that they are tired, miss their wives, and want to go home; it goes disastrously for the commanders who have planned otherwise. For a particularly famous example see Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. I'm not equating size and efficiency. I'm saying a combination of the two represents the optimal outcome for everyone. In a permissive economy, large, inefficient companies are vulnerable to competition, and tend towards failure.
