I hear prices for medical goods are rising tenfold as different states try to outbid each other for limited supplier contracts. What the actual fuck.
- Disaster capitalism in its purest form.monoboy
- I love when America pulls together as a nation in a crisis.PhanLo
- Murica that's why.utopian
- If u dont raise prices with demand u get super hoarders unless u limit and ration. Limit and ration doesn't encourage more suppliers to come into the marketdeathboy
- Place though so u will have limited production. A higher price premium drives competition and new production into the sector though. U might not like the pricedeathboy
- Increase but don't neglect what it's does to provide. Think ying to telecoms price gateways that spurred invention, competition and drove costs down.deathboy
- The alternative is forcing firms and haggling on price. For sure they will come in over budget and slow to produce when no one wants to make themdeathboy
- Since their is no incentive. Capitalism 101deathboy
- Not to mention Price discovery. Markets without that are not markets. A question of product viability and scale may rest on fda approved equipment vs peer reviedeathboy
- I'd look at removing gov bottlenecks that hinder production and encourage diligence on doctors and hospitals and how desperate they are. Why let someone diedeathboy
- Waiting on lack of something vs trying what is on hand and sharing wether a success or notdeathboy
- If all of that sounds crazy vs what is being done than I guess I'm crazydeathboy
- Traditionally it’s lowering prices that causes competition. NOT the other way around which is the basis for your entire nonsense theorymonospaced
- Also, what government bottleneck is stopping production? That’s right. None. You’re making it up.monospaced
- Mono. When there is a high price premium for so etching in demand u create Incentive for competitiondeathboy
- People want that capital and see ways of undercutting. It's innovation and competition that created lower pricesdeathboy
- U can't force lower prices by gov decree to create competition. U create less competition. Ie when Obamacare set it's standards competition in nv for disasterdeathboy
- Healthcare shrank from 16 to 3. One major medical with such terrible price points and a ever changing fly by night scam versionsdeathboy
- Again shows how little understanding of markets forces u know. But it's not like u ever got any study on it either. Just a simp repeating what u are tolddeathboy
- Think about it your idea lowering price's creates competition. What are u a designer or some shit. Let's lower your pay to grow economy and competitiondeathboy
- How u can even think that works is beyo d me even with logical fallacies. It's absurddeathboy
- Side-notes boy to the rescue, what a loon.utopian
- Yea yea. Make comment in disdain in hopes creates similar sentiment outside objective reason. only real weapon u havedeathboy
- When u can't debate or argue a point the parlor games are quite tritedeathboy
- you are a walking fallacy, and the delusion that you are the sole human with the answers why EVERYONE ALIVE ON THE PLANET is wrong is insanity (or stupidity)monospaced
- See, the thing is, I work in a world where market fluctuations are part of my job. You live in your mom's basement and have no education. Do the math.monospaced
- So, when I say that lowering prices causes competition, it's true. Look at the history of market competition. It's always the case. Always.monospaced
- Another 20-30 dumbfuck, rambling, incorherent notes about how stupid your idea is is expected. Go on, dumbfuck. Show me your stupid. Please.monospaced
- Your argument of fake authority. Is not reason. You are simply a fool that wears it proudly. I say it so it is so! Release the kraken! Hahadeathboy
- U can't provide substance on an intellectual level but u do provide comedydeathboy

The everyday price for for can of Lysol spray is about $5- each.
eBay sellers are selling the same can between $45 to $75 per can plus $8- for delivery.

#Murica that why
- Who cares. Let price discovery work. I think there target is like a 10k purse. So fools with plenty of money and no brainsdeathboy
- Don't u remember PS4 ni tendo switch and every type of thing sold in demand. Stocks Bitcoin etc. Tell u what I bet price discovery shows its real pricedeathboy
- And price discovery has little to do with country... Can have to do with rules though. U see price discovery on every countrydeathboy
- Think of the Norwegian butter crisis. Shit was smuggled like gold and sold to who could afford it. A gov failingdeathboy
- The thing is bitching and moaning without understanding reasons or cause and effects does nothing. Well except get group think amongst other lazy emo ppldeathboy
- https://www.ebay.co.…sted
- And maybe that is the point. It's human to be a part of something for most or that same group think. It's comfort and securitydeathboy
- But u should, not that u will, tigers do t change stripes. Exactly the consequences of what u are chasing and its real effectsdeathboy

- shitpostboymonospaced
- it is quite amazing how deathboy continually assumes that folks don't understand capitalismkingsteven
- and that anyone cares to read his incoherent, poorly written meanderings.Nairn
- i have the problem of reading side notes without caring to check who posted them (until i'm too deep).kingsteven
- Likewise, but deathboy's notes tend to leap out fairly prominently as his, given their lack of focus, pace, brevity, consideration (for itself and for others)Nairn
- The last time I checked, price gouging during a pandemic was illegal. But capitalism is the Murican way. Greed is Good!utopian
- And not one post directly related to anything about my posts. Maybye price gouging is illegal but it's a subjective law based on the unwarranted fear of the posdeathboy
- Conclusion is still with lack of any argument quit bitching about prices u dont understand. Copy paste g emo social media shit like u are wokedeathboy
- To demonstrate an argument you could say well the means of production are better left to gov than the free marketdeathboy
- And try to state why u believe such a thi g looking at how well our state can do such a thing and how it can balance liberty as welldeathboy
- Your posts are nothing but musings of a retard. They aren't even discussion worthy, nor relevant to reality. That's why people think you're a moron, deathboy.monospaced
- You actually don't even pose a real argument. Nothing that can't be torn about by anyone with a grasp on capitalism or reality in mere seconds.monospaced
- The reason peop,e care is they NEED this and capitalist cunts are gouging. Arguing there's no issue here is just one more CUNT's opinion.monospaced
- Need is one facet of a economy. It's doesn't set rules nor drive it. I gave u your option. Which is about distribution.deathboy
- Now need can play a part in politics. And distribution by force vs free markets. But I don't think u understand any of that. U see need and think u deservedeathboy
- Take that logic to any third world country and see how it pans out. Seriously start to accept u know far less than Trump on economicsdeathboy
- Maybe you can focus how higher prices increase competition. Lower prices not so much... IE oil at the lower prices today.deathboy
- Or do u think lower prices is outside
profit margins? U think people will lower prices far enough into negative territory just out of good will?deathboy - Self harm out of altruist beliefs I think is definition mental illnessdeathboy

Socialism is reloading. teeheee
There's no way out of this economic turmoil other than the governments stepping in and start nationalizations and giving paychecks to the masses.
Free market rules will still reign for a while for certain sectors like internet companies but mass production can't continue under private ownerships. They are all fucked.- Now it's time to introduce universal income and get robots off their asses to do the work for usNBQ00
- the robots are already doing it nbq. we need to start clawing back the profits made from automation... where do you think bezos and gates made their billions?kingsteven
- Because rolling back profits creates productivity how?.... This is perfect example why I don't think u understand shit about capitalism or economicsdeathboy
- Or u do. It prefer the equality that only death is the true master ofdeathboy
- Stepping in and start nationalizing? You want trump to assign bureaucratic tool to run a company that he has no experience in?hotroddy

'Corporations are citizens, too!'
They fucking are not.Continuity - man this site is getting nutty, no wonder everyone is leavingjaylarson

- but Capitalism...right deathboyutopian
- Bailouts for corporations get payed back (in theory). Bailouts for humans don't.inteliboy
- https://www.npr.org/…PonyBoy
- Well said corps are so over leveraged they will fail because no lending can save them. But enter Central banks and gov interests. Can't let China pboc by boeingdeathboy
- In firesale. Fundamentally bailouts are wrong. But everything today shows how little real capitalism is involved utopian. Actually looks quite like socialismdeathboy
- Or call it corporate socialism or gov employee socialism with pensions and what not. How can free trade be real when Central banks and leverage contril it alldeathboy
- And the big failure in the post is what's is the difference between people and a Corp... Corp isnt a thing. But it's shareholders who are "people " are a thingdeathboy
- So what we have here is a argument of what ppl I think should be bailed out. Which I'd love to see the criteria for. But whatthefunk likes prop piecesdeathboy
- He has never been on the habit of being anything more than the level of a unkranian click farm trolldeathboy
- Even curious where he thinks capital would come from since it's a mad rush to liquid capital. Be no e if Central banks didn't bail outdeathboy
- And let's not ignore his cards. What is his Investment? Did he short it all and scared of a bailout?deathboy
- makes toaly sense.neverscared

- But Jeff Bezos wants the public to bail out Amazon employees.NBQ00
- Imagine how much is sitting in offshore bank accounts, trust funds and shell companies.monoboy
- But no. 'That's my money, that I made on your labour, nurtured by the state system, that I don't pay a penny towards.'monoboy
- So what you say. Well, if they want those advantages to stick around, they should consider emptying those deep pockets.monoboy
- But they won't, because their 'competitors' will jump on the opportunity to fuck them over.monoboy
- Sharks.monoboy
- Just like Goldman Sachs did in 2008.monoboy
- I am anti monster business, but this idea that they don't pay anything is so miscontrued. I own a business and just like myself, amazon pays payroll taxes fortoemaas
- Every employee, plus 6%+ toward social security and another 1 or 2% towards Medicare. They just don't pay corporate taxes based of of their profits and losses.toemaas
- They've notoriously operated at a loss for years, reinvesting ant profits back into the business or slashing profits in order to hook customerstoemaas
- Monkey games played by monkey men, not human beings. This won’t change until people riot in the streets, lynch a few of them . Like Mussolini_niko
- Or quit buying everything online.toemaas
- You're right Toemaas. But our current system is dominated by money that makes money without producing anything.monoboy
- Tax wealth a bit more, labour a bit less. And things might be a little bit fairer. Old money monopolies aren't helping.monoboy
- Amazon is a good test case. It's taken decades of re-investment and hard work to get where they are now.monoboy
- But they are exploitative and are hoarding cash while warehouse workers are living in tents. Not great.monoboy
- Fix labour laws and a crackdown on shady banking is all I'm advocating.monoboy
- Especially hedge funds, disaster capitalists and offshore tax havens.monoboy
- I'm sure we can find a better way to raise tons of cash for investment without shafting others.monoboy

- Ask deathboy, he is our very own special kind of Rhodes Scholar.utopian
- Sure I'll take it. First the question is a false premise. Whole go is to push false narratives. Why do I know?deathboy
- Capitalism defined by free trading value for value has never nor would it need a bail out by it's naturedeathboy
- If something is unnecessary for public spending than it largely is. Not capitalism that says bail something out. That is socialismdeathboy
- Something that can only be enacted by a gov official. Gov can't control free markets at all. They can only impose controlsdeathboy
- So yea love logically u can see the post is emo trigger bait for your own leanings for social famedeathboy

- You pay me x/hour to do my job, but the value of that job to you is worth more than x, perhaps an order of magnitude more, when you sell it.i_monk
- Then you make money on how reliable I am at doing that job, how sure you are I'll show up and keep doing it, and on the promise you'll keep paying me xi_monk
- indefinitely, regardless of cost of living changes or other external factors (new subsidies, a competitor folding giving you greater market share, etc)i_monk
- Then you get me to pay for the public infrastructure you benefit the most from, justied by being an employer when in fact you make use of thati_monk

- The sentiment in the posted tweet is how terrible outcomes get started.nb
- Simplifying our current system as "capitalism" and then applying all our failures to it is insane.nb
- Two people agreeing on a price and exchanging goods happens in socialism too; capitalism is the ownership of labour by having more money than the labourer.i_monk

- Imonk since u seemed to have tried. You
are incorrect. Value exchanged for value doesn't mean perceived value. Ie spot price vs physical on precious metalsdeathboy - At the end of the day if ppl are free to decide they choose their value. U might not like certain pay for a certain job thinking it's worth more. But u also dondeathboy
- T quit it. No other place is offering pay for same skillsets. U may argue businesses need workers to create profits. But no businesses no wages. And many ppl indeathboy
- Positions who recognize value they provide can take experience and set off competitively. But truth is majority see the value they provide but would be lost ondeathboy
- Mono: Nothing deathboy says can't be debunked easily with reason... Mono: I say it's wrong that's reason!deathboy
- Grow up mono. U seem like a kid carrying a chip on his shoulder after getting bullied most of his life. The over compensation is smellydeathboy
- “it’s wrong that’s reason”
Explain the meaning in this incoherent response. Until then you are a moronic clown with idiotic ideas.monospaced - I’m also a father. And you live with your mother. Looks like it’s you who should grow up.monospaced

- what is this like the 20th time ive said it to you. and still not getting it.the term willful ignorance comes to minddeathboy
- our special commenter guyutopian
- You said people get to decide their value, pretending the owners don't hold the purse strings. It's not a balanced or symmetrical exchange and you know it.i_monk
- again i_monk. ppl choose value. there is no pretending or owners of anything. a value choice is dependent upon owners or anything. value is what you get from andeathboy
- exchange. not sure i understand what you are saying but if its a greater profit for owners to provide a service than value of user. well... both benefitdeathboy
- this idea all should benefit equally is just well dumb. equality in rights is smart equality in everything else not so good. why you see ppl claiming things asdeathboy
- "rights". regardless of any logical foundation. those ppl u should be wary ofdeathboy
- And imonk many owners need less smart laborers. As well as those laborers need jobs. Both benefit better togetherdeathboy
- Your rebuttal is "I don't understand" and "the idea of equality is dumb" and seem to hold the labour class shouldn't be educated.i_monk

It seems to be the prevailing opinion that capitalism is evil and should be eradicated like smallpox? Including those humans that have a personal wealth greater than... (make up your own arbitrary value here)...hung from the nearest lamp post.
Does anyone at all have any workable solutions that excludes a capitalist solution in some form or other? (Note the word 'workable')
- yeah, give up identities.uan
- Capitalism, Socialism and Communism all have their strengths and weaknesses. It's funny how most people do not realize how intermingled they really are.utopian

- it's simple. Complete free market, unless it's about affordable healthcare, affordable education & support of low income to eradicate inequality.Beeswax
- Maybe we could nationalise healthcare, utilities, domestic travel and let the free market take care of everything else.monoboy
- Much like the Scandinavian social democratic model.monoboy
- Its about understanding value rather than just cost. Takes smart leadership.monoboy
- Winner takes all isn't sustainable.monoboy
- you can't impose a model that people will take advantage of. scandinavian model speaks more about the people than the model.hotroddy
- True.monoboy
- Start with education?monoboy
- Socialism = Venezuela for example.monoboy
- Although, some already will worry that education = re-education in the communism sense.monoboy
