I don’t disagree.
Comment on Astounding absurdity
running_ragged@lemmy.world 6 months agoIf we want to fix the bad stuff corporations are doing, simply put a larger cost on those things. It’s that simple. Pollution, Safety, Health, whatever… price the negative externalities (economic speak for bad things humans don’t want) properly and the market will sort itself out.
The part where it goes right off the rails however, it seems now that its cheaper to buy and own the politicians, and buy and own the media to manufacture consent to kill these regulations than it is to operate responsibly. Which seems to be right around where we are now.

The thing is, it always has been. Regulations slowly bubble up over the decades anyway, so that’s nice. The only question is how much damage happens in the meantime.
