The belief that somehow private companies make decisions “just fine” highlights the socio-cultural side. It doesn't take much introspection to cite bleak moments from our collective North American histories that were socially acceptable, while being rather dubious ethically. Smoking was once a “free choice” and desired, and came with it willful years of of ignorance of the influence of second hand smoke. If we dig deeper, we could spend much time discussing slavery and sufferage other such messes that, while abhorrent by today's standards, were perfect cultural fits during their respective reigns. And implicitly bound to private enterprise. Private enterprise doesn't make any of his opinions dissolve, nor less relevant. On the contrary, as those cultural and ideological vantages are precisely why his points are relevant.
