Who gives a shit what this kid's hair looks like? Good questions; good interview. At 18 or whatever he was far better than many "professionals."

Luke, we recognize your superior intellect and think it would be awesome if you could come down to Boston and interview Noam Chomsky and maybe bring up some of these points in an interview. I think Noam would really appreciate to hear from someone like you. I'm pretty sure Chomskyan can hook it up. When could you make it down? I'd pay money to see you enlighten Noam on economics.

I think everyone should have a computer in their household in this day age if someone can't afford one I think they should get one along with their benefits or welfare...there is too much of a disadvantage to not having access to the internet

How about totally electric cars, you go to a depot put your card through a machine(or your thumb print) and a car is issued, you go to the store get your groceries and return your car to the depot...so people can be more autonomous with there transportation...or maybe you can be issued a car if you are on welfare or if you just want to live simply, maybe for every 100 miles you drive you can donate an extra dollar toward scientific research or some good cause, or infrastructure...

It's my opinion that as long as we have have money there will be control over it, it's better if we move toward an equal distrubution of resources because then we will start to see everyone as equal and do what's in everybody's best interest rather than doing what makes money

can someone please explain why public transport isn't an option?

He was pointing out the type of choices that are available in a market system are limited. Since profit is the overwhelming driving force, we are usually presented with choices between one brand over another.... but choices that are not profitable, like public transportation, isn't presented as an option within the market.
Chomskyan 2 years ago
but that isn't true! buses are an option! the problem i see is that there aren't any good or diverse options to choose from. take cell phones, no variety, they all do the same thing. if we had a resource based economy we would do away with the crapy bus system as well as cars and move toward high powered magnet trains and shared cars that ran on a use system depending on who needed it at any given time

To the extent that public transit exists, it's heavily state subsidized. So it's not part of the choices offered by the market. Remember he was talking about choices offered by the MARKET, which are profit driven.
Look into the history of the demise of the trolly system in LA, how private interests drove it to the ground on purpose in favor of cars.
I am not sure what you mean by a "resource based economy" but proposals like car sharing systems and high tech trains are sensible.

that makes sense, but the way he puts it it makes it seem as though if the market doesn't supply it then it won't exist, or maybe it was just my intrepretation. for info on a RBE look up the Venus Project

He was pointing out one of the limits of markets, as a critique of markets. He favors popular control over industries, resources, and development.
Unfortunately right now the population have very little control, other than these limited choices offered up by the market. He is saying popular movements should try to break through it.
