In the "free market" the corporations terrifically maximizes profits when the taxpayers freely subsidize the corporation. Free Market Albertans also subsidize petro and then shutter hospitals and schools for lack of taxdollars to operate the services the taxes are supposed to pay.

#WaPo layoffs looming as #Olympic coverage cancelled , Natalie Korach reported for #Status that "upwards of 100 newsroom layoffs" are "expected to hit the sports, metro and foreign teams hardest"

One unnamed editorial insider relayed to Brian Stelter recently that #JeffBezos kowtowing " revamp of the #Opinion section cost the Post hundreds of thousands of #subscribers and "now it looks like the staff will pay for it."

I also canceled my longstanding #subscription at the beginning of the second #Drumpf administration when grotesquely bleak & shocking #FreeMarket trumpeting editorial shifts were made, and I apparently was not alone, which has clearly put this historic and important but money hemorrhaging #DC #news outlet beholden to #billionaire #Bezos' beck & call into paper's precarious position ...

"Martineau (1802 – 1876) found the workings of capitalism at odds with the professed moral principles of people in the United States. She pointed out the faults with the free enterprise system in which workers were exploited and impoverished while business owners became wealthy. She further noted that the belief that all are created equal was inconsistent with the lack of women’s rights."

A quote from a sociology class.

A president who has turned against free markets, made immigration a nightmare, bashes his own judicial appointees and the Federalist Society, and now embraces the very foreign policy backed by neocons and hawks, but opposing which got him elected in the first place. Does anyone else feel kind of nostalgic for the first Donald Trump presidency, but 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 kind of?

A quotation from Wendell Berry

It is impossible not to notice how little the proponents of the ideal of competition have to say about honesty, which is the fundamental economic virtue, and how very little they have to say about community, compassion, and mutual help.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1988), “Economy and Pleasure,” What Are People For? (1990)

If you enjoy romantic fantasy fiction, take a look at the US #stockmarket today after the #trumpregime kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation. Tell me again how the market is based on fundamentals. The #invisiblehand is jacking off #47 #freemarket my ass

Of course the human traders aka “the dumb money” are reading headlines from our #sanewashingmedia and the algorithms just keep the line going up. #aibubble #idiocracy #enshitification

The "TRUMP AMIERICA [𝘴𝘪𝘤] AI Act" (or The Republic Unifying Meritocratic Performance Advancing Machine Intelligence by Eliminating Regulatory Interstate Chaos Across American Industry Act). You can't make this up.

#NeoLiberalism: "No, the #money does not exist for you or me or a person. Money is for entities that could potentially funnel more money into the economy, even if the ways that these entities use the money are reckless and foolhardy, because the system’s intent on keeping entities alive incentivizes it. We are in an era where the average person is told to work harder, to struggle more, because…it’s #socialism for the #rich & rugged #freemarket #capitalism for the #poor."

I've never hated #capitalism as described in my #Economics classes or by its proponents. I hate #CronyCapitalism, #monopolies & #monopsonies & their "oli-" kin ( #oligopoly for example). I want actual #FreeMarket capitalism with strong #rules, enforced equally. I want true #AdamSmith capitalism.

Oh, look! Another thrilling #history #lesson on how #socialism and the free market are basically frenemies with benefits. 🤔📚 Let's plow through pages of pseudo-intellectual drivel to discover that, shockingly, the market still exists! 🙄💸

But look at the bright side. We can all watch some high quality AI #slop on a CRT screen, as the tech bloodbath unfolds! Ah! The wonders of modern #technology and #freemarket #capitalism! Meanwhile, did that guy finish that post-apocalyptic OS yet? We might need it soon.

The obvious flaw in this post is that this has nothing to do with a free market. The Open Insulin Project stands ready and eager to provide safe, effective, cheap insulin. What stops them? Not #capitalism. Not the #freemarket. It's the #FDA. It's the government controlling markets, which is not what #capitalists want; it's the doctrine of #socialism.

"a truly #freeMarket consists of *heavy* #regulation pointed at abuse"

Complete contradiction in terms.

@raganwald @AnnieBuddy @rozeboosje @CStamp @Pineywoozle

i like to use a sports analogy with the "free market" lies that end in "therefore, we must get rid of #regulations" conclusion by malicious and stupid #libertarian assholes

a football game with no referees becomes players punching other players, deploying handguns, and driving tanks

a truly #freeMarket consists of *heavy* #regulation pointed at abuse

(then we get to talk about how regulations are corrupted by the malicious 😩)
