When has this never happened or been possible even when / if it were illegal?
The people with the money will ALWAYS make the rules - always have in every society through history on this planet and always will.
I am not saying this is always ideal, but even countries you laude are in the same boat - they just hide it better or put on a front of being different. News flash - they aren’t.
I don’t care what form of government or economy you have - the money always controls.
Okay, so? The military serves a function. Currency trading serves no purpose except to make money for traders. It is worthless to the economy and the country. Congrats on contributing nothing to society.
Sure thing, boss. It’s me that doesn’t understand ideas. It’s definitely not you. You’re definitely the enlightened one. Absolutely.
This company previously called Google, now Alphabet, invented this really neat thing called a search engine. Perhaps, for once, you could answer your own dumb question without bothering me.
USMC: Name a product they produce that’s inelastic.
Zep: I know they don’t produce this, but here’s an example.
Why should I take you seriously?
Sure Mr. money grows on trees guy.
I love how academic papers are now the gold standard… Oh, sorry, I know you didn’t actually look at let alone read the study the author of this piece was referring to. I forgot who I was talking to for a second.
At any rate, one paper that creates a new measure with several caveats is hardly a slam dunk.
The article is about decentralization vs centralization. This is directly opposed to the concept of co-ops, which are essentially decentralization of decision making powers.
It indirectly points out the flaws of decentralized systems in general whereby the number of key decision makers increase while such decision makers are not familiar enough with the big picture to enact long-term strategies for growth and shorter term innovation.
Shit, I’m not interested enough to have an opinion about the author’s views but it shows you don’t even understand what you post.
To kill people when you are invading other countries and control their resources. The ever-looking of capitalism’s way to exploit something for a profit. Rarely, if ever, for defense. Great purpose. Not to mention the financial corruption that it entails. Failing audits on a consistent basis.
Yeah right, dumbass. It affects inflation, balance of payments and corporate earnings. Retail traders like myself make up a small segment of FX traders. The market would exist w/ or w/o us. Retail traders just provide some liquidity. And most traders tend to lose money. Cograts on not having any idea what you are talking about. Just another example.
Your smugness is only surpassed by your absolute stupidity.
Has no effect on the over-arching point.
Still refuses to learn. But I know someday, someday it will come crashing down.
Maybe it does take more time to make a decision with all of the owners(workers) involved. But maximization of profit at almost any cost is NOT the goal.
This is the part you don’t understand. Something that innate cannot be curtailed by law. Many have tried it over the centuries and the same results happen. Communism was supposed to kill that greed, but the exact opposite happened. The proletariat didn’t get equal slices of the pie. They got crumbs that fell off the crust while those in power got pretty much all of it.
Name one point or culture in history where greed has been curtailed/eradicated?
