Why Capitalism is Doomed

[CrusaderFrank]

Good god no, things were far more regulated back before the '70s. Airlines would have to get permission to take a shipping package on board a passenger airline that had room in the cargo hold. Even the people that worked for the regulating agency thought it was ridiculous. Reagan spend years, as the spokesman for G.E., traveling across the coutnry talking to businesses and hearing about the excessive regulations. That's the story as I heard it.

Airlines are probably the one industry less regulated that they were in the 70's and prices have plummeted

What other "things" are less regulated today

Your the expert. How many more regulations are there today compared to the '70s? And what is less and more regulated?

Everything is more regulated.

Of course I believe you. That's why I ask the question, you must know how it's regulated.

Who is "we" that cares that much?

Maybe there is a market for a better toilet, like a Dyson toilet.

Okay, so what's the economic impact of warning stickers of mop buckets and low-flush toilets?

What agency regulates your toilet and how is it regulated?

The US Department of Energy regulates
You must have a toilet that flushes at 1.6 gallon a min when you replace your old toilets with a new one. if it's going to be inspected.

It regulated at several levels of government here in America.

Well, surely there are regulations that require it actually work as a toilet. There are regulations that require the proper operation of microwaves, like that they don't leak microwave energy.

But what's the point of being concerned about toilets being it being regulated?

Without capitalism you wouldn't have that computer or the internet or cable TV OR A CAR OR PLANE. No one would have had the incentive's to create what we have now.

Better yet, without middle income, or modest income, capitalism we wouldn't have those things.

When did the "middle class" increase, exponentially in this country?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

But what's the point of being concerned about toilets being it being regulated?

the more the government takes responsibility the less the people do. This make the people irresponsible and then the nation.

When has pure capitalism ever been tried in long term and large scale?

Are you going to nitpick over the word "pure" now? Will you agree that American capitalism before the Great Depression was at least closer to being "pure" than after World War II? Will you agree that it was also closer to being "pure" than any advanced nation practices today, particularly the mixed-model economies of western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc.?

I don't nitpick. You need to express yourself more clearly.

If you didn't want a comparison to pure capitalism, why did you mention it?

And not even a Flame-out?...



peace...

1) That sounds like a personal problem. We are sorry you're a lazy ****. You clearly must be talking about yourself, because you surely don't know everyone in the nation.

2) It's to vague to mean anything except as a personal problem. Clearly your mentally lazy.

It is the stupidest thing I've read, that the regulation of toilet flush volume will inevitably lead to a nation of lazy people. God you're a ******* idiot.

 

[starcraftzzz]

Little flaw in your logic there, Sparky.

Markets have never been more managed at any other time in American history than today, yet all the snivelers keep mewling about the shrinking middle class.

How'd that happen?

Good god no, things were far more regulated back before the '70s. Airlines would have to get permission to take a shipping package on board a passenger airline that had room in the cargo hold. Even the people that worked for the regulating agency thought it was ridiculous. Reagan spend years, as the spokesman for G.E., traveling across the coutnry talking to businesses and hearing about the excessive regulations. That's the story as I heard it.

What other "things" are less regulated today

Airline costs fell more when they were regulated then after regulation; that is desptie higher oil costs during the 70's
Did Passenger Fare Savings Occur After Airline Deregulation? | Richards | Journal of the Transportation Research Forum

Utilities are less regulated in some states, and those states have 30% more costs. Banks are less regulated which is why we had a banking crisis

Odd because it was govtment who first built computers and used itnernets
