[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, why are “personal liberties” and “free markets” bad things and why does everyone here hate this so much?

Explain it to me like I’m 5 years old.

Because I don’t understand why these are bad things. What’s wrong with a newspaper editorial page that advocates for personal freedoms? What is wrong with free markets? Is a state-controlled economy more desirable? Have any of you who are upset about this actually lived anywhere with a state controlled economy?

I just don’t get the outrage here. Please help explain it to me? [/quote]

Everything is state controlled.  There really aren’t free markets. Kind of like traffic.  We have rules, those are the controls and you ahve to follow them.  Otherwise you end up with crappy products and angry people, or unsafe working conditions for employees.  Like multiple ambulances called to a warehouse because it is not air conditioned and your workers are dropping of heat stroke.  Or if you require your drivers to pee in jars becuase you’don’t Build in breaks.  Those are examples of how a completely free market doesn’t work and we all need rules and guard rails.[/quote]

You are not describing a planned economy and you know it.

Bad faith disingenuous answer on your part. You should be ashamed. [/quote]
