Examples where the market is abhorrently greedy and needs government to regulate it for the greater good?

Usually, any given Rural [insert utility here] Act.

there's a reason child labor laws exist, for example, and there's strong historical precedent for why the FDA was created.

I never said otherwise.

the way you non-stop praise the market and non-stop despise/criticize the government gave me that impression. if my assumption about your beliefs is incorrect i apologize and i welcome a correction.

The run up to the 2008 crash seems like an obvious example.

That was caused by government regulation.

@averagejoel your turn boyo Im tired

Lmao at @Darkman124 and @FLUFFYGERM talking above the proletariat. You two know you have privileged knowledge and capital. You are so cool for beating up on the economically ignorant. @FLUFFYGERM isnt going anywhere you filthy capitalist. You might take your money elsewhere to avoid proletariat retaliation (aka TAXES) but you arent taking yourself to the relatively noncapitalized world. Stop trolling the proles. Riding waves of stupidity just makes you an opportunitist it doesnt make you smart by necessity

Lmao at imaging the GOP will mass resign to allow a president pelosi. Trump will hold power until the next election and then will meme his way out of the running for his own benefit. Any demo or gop candidate will basically be the same except the winner will be the most populist due to dreaded checks and balances

Tax cuts are great for the rich like us today, but they are not good for the Rich tomorrow. The more the poor see how we literally bend them over and do moddable things to them the closer we get to a more fair reality which is both good and bad for us
---

Also getting rich on crypto doesnt make you rich. You are still an ignorant filthy prole you just have been given a taste of reality
---

Lol nice meltdown

yeah I've had Fluffygerm on ignore for a while now. I'm not particularly interested in educating people who don't want to be educated. power to you though
---

Why are you so against free market capitalism? Your professor said bad things about it?
---

ah yes, a communist meltdown on CE

must be a day that ends in y

note that averagejoel has most people on ignore because his delusions fall apart when exposed to basic reasoning and facts. calling on him to aid you is foolish lmfao

I love how Proudclad just waves off the Sams Club cuts. Also how he has failed to respond to anyone who answered with examples because he knows theyre all true.

What a joke.

The left isnt against tax cuts you buffoon. Theyre against tax cuts that largely benefit the 1% over the majority, which is what this bill does.

Saying the left is against tax cuts is like saying the right only votes for pedos or racists and pointing to Trump, Moore, and the support that Arpaio has been getting.

yup, and folks reading the thread will take note of what he's able to respond to and what he ignores.

Most of his arguments are boring shitposting clichs, that's why a lot of people have him on ignore

i dont have the time and patience to respond to everyone's tears lol

and lol @ the clown who claims a lot of people have me on ignore even though most of CE's active users posted in this topic

keep the tears flowing
---

And he proved my point in 30 seconds lol

I have no issue with tax cuts, I just find it weird that fluffy doesn't have at least some skepticism about the timing and other motives of all these announcements.

Or maybe he does?

Edit:
Like, it's good some people are getting bonuses and raises, but i think what most people(at least me) are saying is, they don't fully think these are due to the cuts alone. Maybe they were already planned before the cuts were agreed on, maybe they are to appease public opinion about tax cuts, etc.
