I listen to a podcast that constantly talks about the benefits of free market capitalism.
The podcast I listen to in particular makes a lot of good arguments for free market capitalism. There are two areas off the top of my head that I think need regulating though, pollution and food production.
I don't mean government regulated food production in a communist way, I mean regulating things like what additives are used in foods and farm yard practise.
What it might boil down to is the ethics of the people who are in control, whether they're rich private bussiness owners, or the people in government making the regulations.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
