Why would a monopolist keep things the same or better? As you said, consumer surplus is the key here. The monopolist will capture almost all of the consumer surplus. This is a worse situation for customers than with competition. With compet

The WSJ editorial board disagrees with everything the Biden admin does. I am yet to see an a WSJ opinion say ANYTHING positive about the Biden admin. If someone here has seen such an article I would love to see the link. When someone is thi

Even if that were the case, the still did not get consent and that is the problem. “Secure” fingerprint access does not excuse the lack of consent.

I don’t understand the idea of freeloading here. Insurance companies charge rates the market will bear. They are still going to charge these rates if insurance payouts to the freeloaders go away. This is not a perfect market where competito

Article says "...Ford's revenues are five times the size of Coinbase's...". Isn't it more like 69x (Q3: Ford $39.4B and Coinbase: $576M).

The 20 year period is based on the assumption that allowing it is beneficial to society overall (inventor shares details to further human knowledge and in return gets to monetize). If this assumption is no longer valid (when pharma companie

They make money because patents prevent others from producing that “something”. The justification for patents is that the inventor gets to milk their invention in return for sharing how they did it. This is based on the an assumption that s

This assumes that only pharma companies can execute the steps required to bring the fruits of all that research to market. There is no reason a govt entity can’t do the same. It is a question of setting up the right incentives for the emplo

Question: isn’t a rich type system as described here similar to OOP?

You are assuming “diversity is worthwhile” is the same as “diversity alone is required for success”. No one is saying that companies can outcompete based on diversity alone. But that doesn’t mean that diversity is not worthwhile. In fact, s

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. In fact, it is your local McD franchisee who is doing the most to ensure that min wage workers do not get organized.

So, I should be forced to give blood if someone’s life is at risk and they need my blood (or, kidney)? There is a 3rd party to consider here and they are already living and breathing. So, blood or organ donations should be made mandatory.
