Doesn’t sensible policy have to be symmetric, like “slightly socialize the gains, slightly socialize the losses”?

- rhizome 13y ago"Sensible" is a value judgement, and as such does not have to be anything, as we see in the current policy environment. We can say that the current policies are not sensible (or symmetric), but that's a response to a different question. The facts remain that the current markets are not free and that there are policies in effect that do socialize losses while privatizing gains.
