You're saying it like distorting the market is always wrong.
> What are we going to do, start getting rid of free markets?
Free market is an abstraction, which doesn't exist in reality.
- powerslacker 4y agoI would like to add that "free market" is a bad description of the state of markets with the United States in general. The government has directly affected the price and legality of many goods including cheese, magnets, corn, houses, education, and more. That's all before we can even start to discuss the systematic effects of fiat money. The idea that we are collectively operating in a free market is a fairly tale.

- powerslacker 4y agoCalling it a market is a bit odd, but I'll play ball. Marriage. Unequal rules for participants based on financial success would be another. Arbitrary age limits. I am generally a supporter of these concepts and this kind of meddling.
