In fact, monopolies can only survive through government-grant privileges
This is just false. You dont understand economics at all if you dont understand how all free markets naturally devolve into monopolies. Yes, governments can also grant monopolies by force, but without antitrust laws literally every market becomes a monopoly.
The only difference is that, in a free-market setting, they wouldn’t have any monopolical privileges
You cant have a free market without a government enforcing anti monopoly laws.
It’s the same thing as trump in the US, they just say things angry people want to hear, and they get elected and end up being the selfserving lying pieces of shit they always were. The difference in Argentina is all the choices are lying pieces of shit. Yeah Milei sucks but so does Kirchner and Fernandez.
Why would you trust an oligarchy of politicians (the State) to decide which goods are useful “for a community” and which don’t?
Because we voted for them. We didn’t vote for the board of directors of private companies. There’s plenty of waste and corruption in private enterprise. It’s not voluntary if they lie cheat and steal just like bad politicians.
The problem is when crooks privatize these things they steal billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money. Yes Argentina is messed up, but it’s because of corruption. Privatization or socialization, both will fail because of corruption.
Like, private school or public school, they both fail if the principal is stealing money, this isn’t a leftist/rightist issue.
I think you could estimate by measuring change in subscriber numbers in each system. Maybe you need to measure the change in growth for each? Not a statistician so i cant say how, but i feel like you could get an estimate within a factor of 2?
I always understood bidet to mean a separate fixture, unless specifying the toilet/bidet combo
If they sucked dick instead of going to war, there’d be nothing wrong with that and the whole world would be much better off
On average sure, but putin probably has more than 3.5% subverting democracy for him, it’s not so simple for the people.
Sure, so because I don’t see trump as a savior im mentally unhealthy. Great logic you got going there.
They’ll know about it when it’s a good product. And , they do know about it, every fuck spez thread had lemmy memtioned as an alternative. At this point, any redditors who cared about the api changes know about lemmy. And that’s fine if you want to go on reddit and spam lemmy links.
But it makes no sense to go to current reddit mods who are committed to volunteering for reddit six weeks after all this shit went down. They like reddit and dont plan on leaving, if they did they would have six weeks ago.
Yeah because trump is going to solve those problems, man GTFO the republican and conservatives are a complete joke, as flawed as the democrats are and as amazing as presidents lincoln roosevelt and eisenhower were, the republicans of today are literally just a joke clown army for putin.
They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won’t work.
No, we’re blaming OP for trying to make lemmy more like an ipo-minded business.
Naturally meaning make lemmy a good experience and people will come. Begging redditors to come won’t help anything. Hell, OP and anyone else is free to just set up an instance where a bot reposts whatever gets posted to reddit front page, or a specific sub. That’s a fine idea i think to help lemmy grow, as is any idea that will improve the Lemmy experience. But there’s no need to spam reddit mods and ask them to help grow lemmy.
Yeah lemmy can do the same, but begging redditors to switch won’t help anything. I was part of the digg migration, nobody on reddit ever posted on digg to go switch. I just searched for something else, and reddit was there. I certainly didn’t spend a second thinking about digg afterwards, and i wont think about reddit either.
Sounds like a question for your therapist ;)
Sports are fun man, just pick something up and throw it – it feels good!
Absolutely. But employers will hate this
Not all employers. They’re in the minority, but there are plenty of employers who are liberal progressives and are happy to see their employees succeed and be happy.
Okay, so you admit you have no idea how economics work. That’s really cool you’re part of an economics fanfic club though.
