You probably aren't from the US, but we don't have a top down rule of how resources are allocated like other countries. It is a free market, so if someone wants to waste their resources building electric cars or a search engine - they are more than welcome to do so.

- mike_d 4y agoThen they get to skip the step of asking the government to allocate resources for building an LSD factory. You are confusing economic policy with enforcement of laws. If the majority of people thought LSD what a good idea, they would elect people who would change that law.
- heavyset_go 4y agoIt's weird that you think that I'm advocating for "asking the government to allocate resources for building" anything. Bans and regulations have nothing to do with that, as the multitude of bans and regulations in the US have illustrated.
