> It's always the same rebuttal, "why don't you just check this then", along with "well all the information is out there". What's is this thing you're always seeing attempting to be rebutted? I'd love to hear more specifics. > I suspect you would never even have considered the problem, and that is a rather major problem. I worked my butt off from a college dropout waiter to get to the point that I had enough money to care about this and specifically did. I'm glad I was able to afford a shitty sofa in the interim. You are mindreading and myopic. > The fact is we're all dependent on people making the honest choices when they're offering us stuff, you can't check it all. 3rd try: when we come down from the castles in the air, what are we asking for here?

What I'm saying is capitalism isn't working the way people say that it works, and the way people want it to work. Now obviously a lot of ink has been spilled about what exactly capitalism is, so you're not going to get a mathematically specific list of definitions that everyone agrees on. But the main idea is that modern businesses are undermining the efficient allocation of resources. > therefore something(?) should be illegal What did I say should be made illegal? > You are mindreading and focused on putting down the messenger. No I'm not. Suspecting that you've never thought about sofa joins is very reasonable, you might be the only person I've ever communicated with who has ever done this. You feel put down because I think you're not a sofa expert? > Why not discuss this amorphous idea that is always attempted to be rebutted and never can be? If you want to discuss amorphous ideas you will need to accept they might have some merit. Not being able to put your finger on something can be challenging, but that doesn't mean there's nothing there. > Again, when we come down from the castles in the air, what are we asking for here? Is that a requirement? I have to have a demand? Sorry, but I'm writing a few thoughts from the comfort of my bed and expecting others to constructively contribute, like one does here.
