re: #251 albusteve

totally insane…more fucking govt interference in the market, which needs to adjust itself naturally…idiots will never learn, that’s why we are where we are, stupid, dimwit morons

What the fuck is this constant moan about “markets adjusting themselves naturally”?

Markets are made by people. There is nothing “natural” about them. Apes don’t have ‘em, or dogs, or bees.

My clothes don’t adjust themselves naturally, my hair and beard need regular trims, and my car won’t refill itself with gas, oil, or coolant.

So, pray tell, what is more “natural” about letting the “market” be rigged by inside players and the wealthy (through, say, monopolies and cartels, which seem to be one “natural” endpoint of market development) than allowing government to take a hand as well?

Yes, I know, the fashion is to hate government, but I actually trust it more than my local monopolist.
