Does it bother you when you see flourescent lighting that's connected to 50/60 Hz mains power and you just see violent flashing? (edit: This isn't snark, I can't see changes that fast, but I know what they look like slow

This is the magic of the decentralized, invisible-handed, "free" market. Nobody (in particular) tells you what to do, and (ideally) you reach a canonical equilibrium which may (under some idealised circumstances) be optimal (in so
