Thread: Big food at it again V. Price fixing and why we don't trust big business

Who said that?




It's up to the government to prevent/punish when that does happen, but the great thing about business is that even if (when) the government doesn't do it's job, you CAN vote with your pocket book.



You haven't learned much obviously.




Lots of cool strawmen in your little rebuttal.

big business good
big government bad


i don't see how you can miss the flawless reasoning

big government takes money from everyone...
big business takes money from everyone...


big government provides services to....everyone...
big business provides services to...wait for it....


everyone...

the only difference is, with big business (or any private enterprise) you vote with your dollar
and with big government you vote with a ballot


in both situations the individual has a marginal amount of control over what either a private enterprise or government does.

Corporations DO NOT want free markets. They want to manipulate the market any way they can, sometimes it's via the government, sometimes it's with other big businesses.

My entire point is that when companies manipulate the market via the government there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it, but when the manipulate the market via other corporations there is the option of a) going to another source, b) creating your own source (yes, I know this is not realistic for most people, but an option nonetheless) or c) having the government interfere.

I don't trust big business OR big government, but when given the choice I'll take big business everytime because when they are being shady there are still options for the consumer.

Since when have people been fine with that?

Big Eaters at it again...complaining about Big Food

that you don't need a monopoly to price fix.

conspiracy to commit price fixing is ILLEGAL. i think it should be a jailworthy offense, rather than fines.

for that I am retarded.

the customers are the enemy, our competitors are our friends

businessmen of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, and a contrivance to raise prices

or something

lol

No, I mean the retard milk you buy at the specialty shop, to keep you stupid.
