(And like god it is granted powers of all-goodness by its believers and whenever something goes to shit it is someone else's fault!)
The problem with the "free market" is the unzip and trickle down practice, not building from the bottom up. This is very insulting to humanity.
Labor is seen as a resource, not a partnership. Don't you think everybody would work harder to run a better establishment if they had everything to gain by it's success.
If you could open a brewery by simply brewing your own beer. Or just paint the word TAXI on your car and start picking up fairs. Or drag your BBQ down to the beach to sell $2 hotdogs and $1 sodas. Then you could call it a free market. The police could bring the proper regulatory bodies down on your ass to inspect your set up and issue a business license.
What if teachers owned their schools and students had a choice of the school they'd go to. The schools would have to compete to attract students and the public financing that comes with them. This beats the dog shit out of our current system right?
If you don't like this idea, I have good news for you. Because it's never going to happen.
god is supposed to be imaginary
