Everyone should absolutely do a small garden in their yard instead of grass or other wasteful landscaping. As a farmer, this looks like it would be massively expensive per acre and massively wasteful of environmental resources. I currently

No, it costs millions to start a butcher business. Antitrust works for oil where one company owns everything, but this is a service business where regulations are the source of the competitive moat. We need de-regulation.

As a farmer, what we actually need is de-regulation of food production. The big four meat packers have used government regulations on "safety" to create a monopoly where it costs millions of dollars to process your own meat. This

Mental health problems are the result of taking animals (humans) out of their natural environments and giving them phones with addictive apps and telling them that they should work instead of having children and growing their families.

Why would Boeing receive any contracts over SpaceX? Ah yes, contracts are awarded based on politics, not competence.

We all mock these third rate dictatorship issues, but then in America we allow voting without ID or any sorts of protection at all... Basically asking people to commit fraud.

I have noticed all the comments on HN now are pro socialist and pro regulation. I remember a time when they were mostly pro libertarian. What changed? Are these AI generated comments to push a specific viewpoint?

Men are discriminated against in the form of affirmative action and other programs now that explicitly take resources from them and give them to others. Many men now expect the government to take care of women in the form of food stamps, Me

Better yet, get rid of patents. Patents are what prevent competitors from rising up and that are run by more ethical entrepreneurs that care about their customers.

Monopoly is the keyword here. Ticketmaster and Boeing and all the other nefarious companies here use PATENTS to prevent competitors from eating their lunch. Patents need to be done away with to allow free competition, don't believe the
