@Tethloach1 "The point of competition is to crush your competitors."

Nonsense. There is no point to competition. There are effects.

The point of BUSINESS is to earn a profit. Competition exists because no single enterprise can supply everything, EVER.

When consumers have choice, a business is forced to do the best they can, so that the consumer chooses them. The RESULT is called competition.

Stefan, when will you have Doug Casey back on?

@jeffiek Oh dear. My honest attempt to respond is in the 6th post above this one (beginning 'no single enterprise... '. Check out your response. It had occurred to me to ask whether I had misunderstood what you mean by 'enterprise' but now I'm only too pleased and proud to disgust you. I can't help wondering whether you'd be so bold face to face. Keep up the good work.

ps. i hope no other users are bothered too much by this rubbish back-and-forthing.

With Rahm Emanuel as mayor and the very intrusive city council, Expect more regulations in Chicago. Chicago will have less and less middle class residents. That is just part of a plan.

Mayor Emanuel could have easier wins in re-eletions. The rich and the poor would largely vote for him and the city council.

On regulation. The Chicago Taxi Comission and the city councilis planning to place a limit of 75,000 miles for a taxi cars. They include a limit on the age of vehicles that can be on the roads, by lowering the maximum number of miles on a newly-converted taxi to 75,000 from 150,000.. Check it out on CBS Chicago. Taxi drivers are going to be squeezed more. Just like what is happening to the middle class.

@unfitlove Bullshit.

Your first response misrepresented my position. I have repeatedly pointed this out. You repeatedly evade it.

My first response to you was a refutation of your "limitless growth" nonsense. You have not contradicted even one point in that response.

You disgust me.

@andrewh817 I don't normally resort to name calling, but you must be a f*cking loathsome b@stard to assume that just because I support statism, I support the actions of This particular state. Businesses fail, states fail, families fail, individuals fail, cooperatives fail. The failure of one entity does not mean that all others of its kind are without value. In a free market, certain communities are bound to fail, and I know anarchists would b*tch at me if I used that against them

@jeffiek Well done. Look back over the posts. I've explained my initial remark twice. You have never attempted to respond intelligently. You used the word troll before I did (and when I did it was ironically, in response to your jibe). Now i call troll on you. It fits your posts better than mine.

Have a nice day.

[jeffiek]

@unfitlove I call you a troll because

1) you admitted it

2) you misrepresented my position. When called on it, you refused to explain it.

Have a nice day.

[unfitlove]

@jeffiek you call me a troll because i disagree with you but haven't answered my critique. this is my last post. we are wasting everyone's time

[jeffiek]

@unfitlove Well, I'll be damned. A troll that admits it.
