- dymk 4y agoThat's just the free market greasing the palms of politicians. A greasier solar lobby needs to come long and out-grease them, obviously.
- ch4s3 4y agoI don’t think they even claim to be free-marketers anymore. The nat-cons in particular are vocally anti-market.
- mperham 4y agoThey're only in favor of a "free" market that they control. Decentralization empowers everyone, not just plutocrats.
- glial 4y agoAs far as I can tell, claims of principle are meaningless with some folks. The only unifying idea is a thirst for power.
- CodeWriter23 4y agoIMO the odd thing is people who believe the "Free Market" is or ever was real.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoI think it depends on whether or not the definition of a "free market" includes the non-existence of monopolies. If it does, then a free market isn't possible. It will always devolve into monopolies and conglomerates absorbing everything. If it doesn't, then a free market is possible, but it would not be good.
