- MarcelOlsz 1y agoI was half joking and making a reference to his silly small government comment but I do absolutely believe in nationalizing the tits out of everything. My dream is to walk into a grocery store and everything is the best it can be, with identical labelling, no marketing, and all the information I want about it. "SALT". "WATER". Any positive iteration should lead to reward and absorption by my fictional state. I've probably read too much sci fi.
- lazide 1y agoWhy would anything there be ‘the best it can be’ in that scenario?
- homarp 1y agocan linux kernel code be 'the best it can be'?
- lazide 1y agobecause people are allowed to fix their own issues, and also allowed to put their name on their work in the public eye. neither, generally, would be possible in the scenario you describe.
- homarp 1y agoplease note that I am not OP. How about 'generic' drugs? are they the best 'manufactured' they can be?
- lazide 1y agoGenerally? No. But will meet regulatory minimums insofar as active ingredients, purity, etc. They don’t have a monopoly like the OP described, however. If they did? Yikes… Notably, that kind of economy is roughly how the USSR ran, and no one praised it when it died.
