@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow However, because you're a retarded free market fetishist who would be happy to die to increase the wealth of the billionaire elites, I'm sure you're response will be to lie these things don't happen. So, don't bother.

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Anyway, buying up rivals to become a monopoly, oligopolies engaging in collusion, online companies using algorithms to take consumer surplus, companies lying to the public, are all examples of rent seeking not 'caused by the government' and are all off the top of my head.

"It is remarkable, and wildly counterintuitive, not only that the question "Who is in charge of the supply of bread to New York?" has no answer, but that the supply of bread to New York is better managed by a system in which there is no answer than by one in which there is." John Kay.

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow And no, you're wrong on rent seeking, and that's only true on free riders if you believe everything should be in private hands.

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Your definitions aren't necessarily the correct definitions and your definitions aren't necessarily my definitions. You're like a retarded elementary school child, unless you are a retarded elementary school child.

@unfilteredwkels @ABDanielleSmith Just to make this clear: I'm not saying that people should receive MAiD rather than compassionate care, but warehousing people to die is not genuine compassion. It takes workers paid for by tax dollars to genuinely care for people.

@unfilteredwkels @ABDanielleSmith Are you actually willing to pay higher taxes to hire more people or are you just virtue signaling?

I haven’t talked about MAID much because it’s one of those topics that doesn’t feel like politics, it feels personal. But today Alberta drew a line, and for the first time in a while, I felt like someone actually paused and asked the right question. What does compassion really look like? Because when people are struggling, especially mentally, the answer shouldn’t be to give up on them. It should be support. It should be care. It should be making sure they’re not falling through the cracks in the first place. This isn’t about taking anything away from anyone. It’s about protecting the most vulnerable when they’re at their lowest. Alberta slowing this down and putting limits in place is something I can stand behind. And I think a lot of people are quietly feeling the same way. . . . . . #Alberta #Canada #MAID #MentalHealthMatters #ProtectTheVulnerable

@george_yarrow @LiveFromVR It seems for a 'lifetime student' you've learned nothing. Just another doddering old fool.

@LiveFromVR It's from a critique of the 'market failure doctrine' (about which I have long shared JK's negativity) in Prospect Magazine, 31 July 2007. prospectmagazine.co.uk/essays/51940/t…

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Increasingly people recognize that your idea of 'freedom' leads to a NeoFeudalist society with an authoritarian dictatorship controlled by a handful of wealthy lords. If you weren't completely retarded or 'brain'washed, you'd recognize that too.

@ATondowsky @george_yarrow It's not nonsense, it's the definition of terms. Rent seeking is almost always an artifact of government intrusion into markets, as are free riders. Pretending that things aren't what they are is the stock in trade of collectivist retards.

@GarnettGenuis @mickeyamery @ABDanielleSmith I guess you only support 'my body my choice' when it's to do with obnoxious and stupid idiots and ignoramuses.

Congratulations @mickeyamery @ABDanielleSmith and the Alberta government for putting forward Bill 18 to fight MAiD Coercion. This excellent bill fills a gap left by a lack of federal action. My Bill C-260 works to take this fight national. More info at carenotcoercion.ca

@Chronolxgical @CanadianPolling @338Canada 1.Poilievre was a cabinet minister so he has been in power and he was on the government side for Harper's entire nearly 10 years in office. 2.What does it say that most Canadians prefer the Liberals, despite the last 10.5 years, to the Conservatives?

@ATondowsky @CanadianPolling @338Canada Idk he’s never been in power… probably better the last 11 years though.

@Chronolxgical @CanadianPolling @338Canada What does that say about Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives?

@CanadianPolling @338Canada Still voting liberal after 11 years of failure..

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Anyway, I'm not really interested in having a(nother) discussion with libertarian free market ideologues. You live in a childish fantasy world that alternates between utopian (markets) and dystopian (governments) that has no bearing with reality.

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Well, that's the nonsense the free market fetishists like you want people to fall for.

@SandoKatsuZilla @george_yarrow Market failures are also known as market imperfections and do not refer to companies that go bankrupt but to such things as rent seeking, externalities, asymmetrical information and free riders. investopedia.com/terms/m/market…

What about market failures? Do you imagine that the government can prevent market failures? That there is some utility in propping up entities that would otherwise cease to exist? Utility to who? And from whom are the resources to be extracted, and will such extraction enhance or degrade their ability to keep their own endeavors solvent?
