"plenty of other markets" have way smaller margins and are not nearly as robust an industry as software.
- avianlyric 9mo agoAre you trying suggest that Apple’s margins are so small that they need state protection? Or that Apple can’t compete if they’re not able to tightly lock down every aspect of their ecosystem?
- stefan_ 9mo agoI don't understand. Robust markets don't have large margins. Why would a regulator even want markets with enormous margin? That's usually market failure.
- tekknik 9mo agoPharmaceuticals have very large margins.
- avianlyric 9mo agoMost people also complain about how pharmaceuticals are greedy corporations that seek to exploit monopoly status for profits above human health. Hardly a good example of a well functioning market.
- tekknik 9mo agoComplaining doesn’t mean action. To affect prices people need to vote with their wallet, and they won’t do that when their life is on the line. Or to put it another way, find an alternative.
