Oh no guys, it looks like the petition that was going to save gaming was fradulent. Who could've expected this.
>w-we sould bot even MORE signatures t-then!
Heh, I guess your initiative wasn't that popular after all.
Here's an unpopular opinion: Maldavius right about SKG, and it will make the gaming industry worse. Because we know the axiom: the more regulated the market, the worse it is for everyoneโboth producers and consumers. The direct path to improving product quality is REDUCING market regulations, even to the point of their absence.
This is exactly why American goods are far superior in quality to European ones. This is why American service is far better than European service. Because the market in the US is freer. And the freer the market, the better it is for everyone.
SKG, on the other hand, proposes additional regulations that will burden producers but ultimately lead to all costs being passed on to consumers.
Those who oppose absolute market freedom are shooting themselves in the foot
>>714431620Yeah fuck regulations. Bring back asbestos and lead in our water so companies can make even more money! Fuck the consumer!
>>714431620>This is exactly why American goods are far superior in quality to European ones.Yes, I love all the added sugar in my candy that makes it taste like shit and makes me more obese. Regulations are a good thing since companies only seek profit.
>then just don't buy chocolatesure I can do that, can't do that with vidya I liked and is now dead precisely because it didn't make enough money.
>>714431857I want more unsafe working conditions in factories. If I don't read about a new maiming happening ever week I get grumpy. There's not nearly enough people falling into industrial grade food blenders these days.
>>714431620>Because we know the axiom: the more regulated the market, the worse it is for everyonelmao do americans really?
>>714431620when us industry wasn't absolute dogshit (30s-70s) we have a hell of a lot more regulation than we do now
>>714431857> Fuck the consumer!As a libertarian, I openly oppose this initiative because it involves market regulations, which are bad and only lead to worse outcomes. On the contrary, corporations should be given MORE freedom to manage their goods.
I sincerely believe that the modern EU is a veritable onions GULAG and an extremely poor example to follow.
>>714430203then you will own nothing and be happy
thank you consoomer
>>714431620>we know the axiom: the more regulated the market, the worse it is for everyoneโboth producers and consumerssome of us aren't indoctrinated americans so we know that going too far with deregulation is just as bad as going too far with regulation
>>714431620>axioman assumption that's just taken for granted despite being unprovable? Are you sure that's the word you want to use?
>>714431620>Those who oppose absolute market freedom are shooting themselves in the footNo, they're shooting mister goldberg in the foot.
>>714432150You actually correctly defined an axiom here, anon. That's exactly what they are.
>>714431620I have libertarian fatigue
>>714432138>regulations are... LE BAD!
>>714431620Rape and genocide all americans
>>714431857> Fuck the consumer!The free market is primarily about improving the quality of goods and services for the consumer. The consumer benefits from the absence of regulations because it grants them the power of choice. Bad corporations will go bankrupt, while good ones will thrive. The consumer only gains when corporations don't have to pass on the costs of regulations to them.

>>714432138Ah yes, just like war is peace and freedom is slavery
>The free market is primarily about improving the quality of goods and services for the consumer.Absolute cope, the free market is not about anything, it's a tool that anyone can use to any end they want, but the only end it gets used towards is maximization of profit at the expense of absolutely everything else, especially the consumer
>>714432346>Bad corporations will go bankrupt, while good ones will thrive.*collusion and market manipulation have entered the chat*
oh nyooo bros but i thought free market was a good thing!!
>>714431620>le chill doggo.jpg>abhorrent post
>>714432346if there are no regulations then the corporation doesn't have any reason to let the consumer gain anything though, they just keep it all to themselves
>>714432150It just depends if there is regulatory capture when the regulations are made, unfortunately there usually is.
>>714431620This.
Regulation has NEVER made any industry better.
>>714432534Don't forget monopolies and trusts.
>>714432690doesn't matter when the lack of regulation is already maximally bad
>>714432473In a free market, consumers have all the leverage to remove bad actors from the market. Just DON'T BUY their products, and that's it. Don't buy bad games, buy good ones, and the makers of bad games will go bankrupt.
You don't need regulations or the state to influence corporations as long as you have money.
In a free market, the consumer has far more rights than in a regulated one because the consumer has the most important rightโthe right to choose.
>>714431620>American goods are far superior in quality to European ones. This is why American service is far better than European service.
>>714432806in a free market consumers have no leverage whatsoever because they have no choice
>>714432346>The free market is primarily about improving the quality of goods and services for the consumer.And yet in every market where businesses aren't forced by law to act differently what they actually do is chase the bare minimum viable product.
>>714431620you are literally no different than the tankie retards who think that "real communism has never been tried!!!!1!"
you people have no clue how the real world works, you can only think in made up theoretical systems
>>714432938America is being eclipsed by china in every way as we speak.
>>714432842where is the lie?
>>714432668> the corporation doesn't have any reasonThe main reason is that the consumer has a choice, and if you don't serve the consumer properly, they'll simply go to your competitor, and you'll go bankrupt. That's the essence of a free marketโyou're not the only player, and if you don't offer the most unique or highest-quality services, you'll be replaced by another, better player. And that's why the consumer always wins.
>>714432346>The free market is primarily about improving the quality of goods and services for the consumer.I knew this board was retarded but the scope of it always takes me by surprise.
>>714431620That would be true if games as a service did NOT violate property rights you moron.
A market is not free if it allows fraudulent transactions with no recourse.
Why do libertarians always sound like they're reciting beliefs from some holy book?
There isn't a single inkling of thought behind those words, it's just
>x is BAD
>y is GOOD
>when we just get the heavenly rapture- er i mean glorious revoluti- er i mean free market everything will simply work out and be perfect
>>714433026the consumer has no choice because in a free market all service is consolidated into a monopoly
>>714432774I can't see them making the situation to much worse here, but they will no doubt try.
>>714432346Dumbest nigger in the thread, thought OP was retard e but you took the cake anon
>>714432906This is the dumbest thing I've heard in years...
Dude, you can just not buy bad products and buy good ones instead... Your money is in your pocket. You decide how to spend it.
>>714432806>just don't buy their productsok I won't, but an army of gambling addicts, kids and clueless normies will
you live in a fantasy land where everything is fair and goes exactly as planned, the reality is the product itself could be total shit but as long as its marketed properly it doesnt matter
>>714431857Yeah! What if I actually want sawdust and chalk in my bread?
>>714432806>Just DON'T BUY their products, and that's it. Don't buy bad games, buy good ones, and the makers of bad games will go bankrupt.This is idealistic and ignores the fact average consumer is braindead cattle. Remember the MW2 boycott where everybody boycotting still bought the game? Or more recently the Genshin boycotts where the people boycotting the game kept playing but "just tried to play less." Consumers are fucking retarded and need government to keep them from killing themselves.
>>714432986american products are known far and wide to be complete dogshit, and it's not even hyperbole
are government regulations to blame for bad video games?
>>714433157>just go eat grass in a forest if you don't want to engage with the free market>oh wait, but not that grass, i also have a monopoly on thatthere is no choice in how i can spend it in a true free market, because everything is consolidated into a monopoly and shittified
>>714433059The free market basically is their god.
>>714433157I just buy you and kill you in an actually free market with no regulations. Hunt and capture all of your family members and enslave them.
>>714433083A monopoly is physically impossible in a free market. One of the features of a free market is that, without government regulations, new players constantly emerge, creating competition. Monopolies are born from regulations that prevent new players from entering the market, as they have to navigate thousands of regulations with minimal capital.
Monopolies are IMPOSSIBLE in a free market. This is literally a fact.
>>714433257>Remember the MW2 boycott wheregive him a break, he's not old enough for that one
>>714429579 (OP)HA HA
fuck you commies
>>714433381Have fun in your fantasy land, reality is not your hallucinated version of a free market
>>714433381new players can't emerge in a monopoly because the monopoly actively prevents them from doing so, you need regulation to stop that from happening
>>714433381While it is correct that government regulations stifle the emergence of new competition, the claim that monopolies can't exist in a free market is disingenuous.
>>714433264Oh, you're a russian bot
>>714433474regulations can do anything, including both stifle and encourage competition, they are a tool
>>714433381Which government regulations are stopping new players from creating good video games and outcompeting the bad?
>>714433454>because the monopoly actively prevents them from doing soLiterally impossible without regulations.
Regulations are the entire reason joining a new market is nearly impossible even when it's not a monolopy
>>714432138Do you understand that the American food industry was filled with borderline toxic food before Teddy instituted the FDA? I bet there were retards just like you crying about muh regulations then too. If you let corpos get away with shit, they'll get away with shit. What's the point of paying tax to a government if they don't deal with shit like this
Because in truth that's the reality, you're letting yourself being cucked twice, first by paying tax to the government and then second by letting the corpos rape you. At least with market regulation you're only raped once
>>714433482Foreign goods can be sold, completely unchanged in the US, most of the time. American goods in foreign countries? Not the same, brainlet. Sometimes completely illegal to sell them elsewhere.
>it's another thread filled with mouthbreathers who can only think of political and economic systems in binaries
>>714433257Also a big reason why major companies like Valve will always get away with their absolute garbage practices like their game review process leaving major games in month long limbos waiting for a response, just to arbitrarily reject them for any reason. Valve has no incentive to improve as a service because consumers will slurp their products up regardless. Thinking with your wallet doesn't actually work in practice when nobody actually gives a shit.
>>714433581>Which government regulations are stopping new players from creating good video games and outcompeting the bad?None which is why we still get a lot of great non-GaaS games.
>>714433482he's right though, american products really are known for being some of the lowest quality crap in the world
at least mass market stuff like food, there's a reason americans can't export their normal food and only export luxury food to europe where they market it as regular non-luxury food for europeans
>>714433381why would people flock to a new player if that new player is so shit at their job they can't even clear the bare minimum of regulation that a government enforces?
>>714433591>Literally impossible without regulations.you keep saying this
what is your evidence? if a powerful corporation is successful enough they will certainly have enough power to stifle their competition
>>714433597You can look up videos how people were crying about seat belts.
>>714433623>American goods in foreign countries? Not the sameYes because those countries keep ripping us off. That's the entire reason behind Trump's tariffs. If you're not going to be nice to American goods you'll just have to pay us a lot more in tariffs
>>714433591regulations are the only thing stopping monopolies from forming, in a true free market monopoly on every level is completely inevitable
>>714433058Live-service games don't violate anything because they aren't your property. You're granted an indefinite (or limited) right to use them, but they don't become your possession. You're not buying ownership; you're buying access, and that access can be irrevocably revoked at any time, as you're WARNED in the user agreement.
That's the whole point of the term "games-as-a-service." If you don't like the concept of live-service games, just don't spend money on them, and that's it. What's the problem with not using something you don't like? I don't like avocados, so I don't eat them, but I'm not demanding an immediate ban on avocados or that they be made tastier FOR ME at a government level.
It's just rational that if there's a live-service game, you should decide whether to accept those terms or not.
>>714432979what doea china have to do with an american starting up a grassroots movement to stop game devs from killing games?
>>714433768Oh, so you're just trolling, got it.
>>714433746>what is your evidence?Zero examples of monopolies forming without government regulation that made it possible for them to form in the first place. Meanwhile we have countless examples of monopolies forming in heavy regulated markets.
>>714433381>new company starts making a better version of x product>corporation uses its resources to steal the design of x product and produce it for one quarter the cost because they have an infinitely better economy of scale, manufacturing base, established customers, and outreach>new company dies outyou are retarded
>>714432806>In a free market, consumers have all the leverage to remove bad actors from the market.No they don't. The relation of companies and customers is asymmetric, because companies are big entities and customers are often many small individual buyers. An organized force will always outplay a disorganized one. It's the mechanism of people getting together and setting up new rules that makes the relationship balanced, not any myth of a free market.
>>714433841You're just a retarded russian bot
>>714433691see
>>714433768
>>714429579 (OP)you won't win. i know what you are doing. you will lose and justice will prevail.
>>714433868Because actual free markets don't exist. They're even more of a fairy tale than "true communism".
>JUST DON'T BUY IT
We tried that. Look at where we fucking are now. Or are you going to deny the video game's industry is worse off now than it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, in terms of quality of games.
Again, to reiterate, we fucking TRIED just not buying the slop. Guess what? It doesn't work. Because corpos can use tactics and manipulation to convince the majority of people to do something against their interests. Even if you tell a normalfag "this game is predatory/bad, buy this other game instead", that doesn't fucking work.
>>714433868Name one monopoly that currently exists
>>714432346Corporations would kill you en masse if they thought they could profit from it without government oversight.
>>714433971>nice to american goodsmaybe stop trying to sell toxic garbage and it'll stop
>>714433868>Zero examples of monopolies forming without government regulationbecause zero companies exist in a place without governance

>>714431620Libertarianism does not work in the real world
bro just 2 more weeks worth of signatures bro
>>714434042Internet providers in most of the US territory. Perfect of example of a monopoly that exists not in spite of regulation but because of it preventing new players
>>714434026>Because corpos can use tactics and manipulation to convince the majority of people to do something against their interests.Like, for example, become libertarians.
>>714434094And if a company did exist in a place without governance, it would just become the local government and create its own regulations.

>The local water company refuses to provide water that won't make you die of dysentery?>DUDE JUST DIE OF DEHYDRATION INSTEAD>but don't get violent thoI think the main reason I find you objectivists so detestable is that you use a survival of the fittest natural appeal, but only in ways that benefit you under an artificial unnatural system. There is nothing more natural than violence, yet you constantly cry about the NAP. If it's fair for companies to maliciously fuck over their consumers, it's fair for me to take what I want via force. You hide behind the government to protect you from those stronger than you, but lament it when those you prey on attempt to utilize that very same government to protect themselves from you
>>714434095Yes they are, patent laws regulate who can sell what products on the open market.
>>714431620Maybe you should try to remove the regulations on your education first because you absolutely don't know what you're talking about
>>714434095I mean... he's right??? Forcing you to respect rights is a regulation that reduces your freedom.
>>714434184That's because of an oligopoly/cartel, retard. Those companies keep out of their "competitor's" area because they made backroom deals, you're truly braindead, huh?
>>714434273>is still a free marketno property or intellectual rights is not the same as a free market
if you don't even understand that there is no point arguing with you
>>714433059lolbertarians are all americans and kikes. that's why they always seem like the largest corposemen slurpers on planet earth. because a completely and utterly unregulated society is heavily to their advantage, since they then can be as evil to their workers as they can possibly imagine being.
>>714432908you say that but i can go out and buy a luxury car right now. hell, the dealer will probably pick up the phone even at night if i call the right number. just gotta pay top end prices for top end services and products
or is that a minimum viable luxury product?
>>714434461so it's only a free market if there is a government enforcing property rights? what about cavemen trading seashells? they're not engaging in free trade?
>>714430203Why do reddit frog posters always pretend they're fit?
>>714434489it's not to their advantage, it's to the advantage of the corpos that have indoctrinated them
the absolute state of current american society and how it has declined and still is declining is incontrovertible proof of that
>>714431620Reduce regulations but actually increase gatekeeping. A storefront shouldnt sell any kind of slop. But thatโs not a government decision thatโs on Sony, MS, Steam etc
>>714434432>>714434565>>714434419No. Patent laws and other forms of basic property rights aren't industry regulations. In your mind no industry regulations means zero laws on any form of behavior because you're a 12 year old.
>>714433719Many regulations are completely pointless and counterproductive. They exist solely as barriers to entry for new players, and that's their only purpose.
To sell a product, a manufacturer has to jump through 100 burning hoops. A large player, who likely lobbied for these regulations, simply spends huge sums of money to comply, passing those costs onto the consumer. Meanwhile, a new player can't enter the market because these regulations aren't about product qualityโthey're just barriers. The new manufacturer lacks the resources to waste on complying with regulations that lead nowhere.
A good example of this is the UK meat market, where cow feces must be disposed of in a specific way using electrification, supposedly because cow feces increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
You can see how absurd this is and that disposing of manure through electric shocks has nothing to do with the quality of meat products. But thanks to this regulation, small farmers can't enter the market because the equipment is quite expensive.
>>714434640>reduce regulations but increase regulationsdurr
If the game industry won't act in good faith and business then it's only fair I force the government's hand and make them be fair.
Mald, seethe, cope all you want but I won't budge.

>>714434708wrong, they, just as all other laws, are government regulations, the government prescribes and enforces them
>>714434708I will direct you back to my hypothetical
>>714433928This would be an example of a monopoly forming in a society without any governments
>>714434640>reduce regulations>but make everyone just do this thing I want without being regulated to do it
>>714434443>Those companies keep out of their "competitor's" area because they made backroom dealsWhich would be impossible if any new player was allowed to join the market instead. The regulation is actively making sure only these companies are in business
games are one of the purest, most undeniable cases of "if you don't like it just buy something else". there's so many different games being published that it's genuinely hard to keep track. if you don't like ubisloppa and its policies there are thousands of different games to buy and play, many of which will fit even the most inane criteria you can think of
since this is not good enough, i have to conclude that the purpose here is specifically power over others and control of their property
>>714432346there's so much shit in history and in the real world showing time and time again that when corporations are given free reign to do whatever the fuck they want they will gladly treat you like animals and slaughter you if it'll benefit their bottom-line
remember the people running corporations are genuine unironic sociopaths and psychopaths that get off on the idea of a factory worker getting eaten alive by machinery
>>714431987Sounds like something a white collar or someone who works in a safe environment would say. Don't worry, your jobs will be tossed into the grinder once AI takes over and the only thing you will say is: "Why didn't the government regulate on this."

>>714434848No, it's ONLY possible because there are no regulations on those companies. No regulations which stop them from doing that. They bought all politicians and changed all the laws to make it a free market for them, so that they can do whatever they want.

> Or are you going to deny the video game's industry is worse off now than it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, in terms of quality of games.This is exactly an example of why a free market is BETTER than a non-free one.
The quality of games started to decline sharply due to DEI investments from BlackRock, which acts as a supranational entity. This is literally an example of globalists trying to forcibly change the tastes of the free market, and the failure of these DEI initiatives proves the resilience of the free market to external interference.
Going forward, games will get better because the push to impose woke DEI nonsense has failed spectacularly. The free market has won.

The free market doesn't make the best games, because the most perfect game ever made, tetris, was made by communists.

Hey, remember the time Coca Cola hired death squads to kill protesters?
This was a rational act aimed at optimizing the quality of their products. It was a mutually-agreed, freely conducted transaction between two consenting parties, and there was nothing wrong with it. Regulation would've only made things worse, believe me.
Fascists and communists should at least agree to work together to deport the scumbags who would sell out their nation for a penny. People who worship money are not human. They should not be treated like humans. They should have their citizenship revoked and turned stateless.
If they want to bitch about it, they can just buy citizenship elsewhere.
>>714436419yes, it's easier to try to keep one system honest than having a thousand systems running amok

>>714432346>The free market is primarily about improving the quality of goods and services for the consumerbiggest lie ever told. businesses care about one thing only: PROFIT. the consumer is their bitch and will take whatever is made available to them
and if they don't like it, they can't open their own competing business (insurmountable barriers to entry, economies of scale (chicken and egg problem), vendor lock-in, network effects, regulatory capture, etc.)
>>714431620>>714430203why contrarians are muricans...
>>714436460Couldn't agree more, the profitability of the brand proves the superiority of their product, frankly I'm surprised that we don't use it instead of saline solution in hospitals, it's cheaper and has all the same qualities, the best qualities, in fact it's just better in every way

>>714436310of course
but when you critically think, all sorts of things become clear.
For example aluminum, which is officially considered a neurotoxin, in vaccines.
weird that they are sure that neurotoxins do not cause autism (brain damage)
oh wait
https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1939747230430425130
well weird that no quack came up with this.
oh wait
what's the ingredients of that vaccine?
aluminum as well as formaldehyde
wait a moment, formaldehyde is a disinfectant
didn't these "educated" quacks scream at Trump for even suggesting to inject disinfectant because it would be a terrible idea, and very bad for health?
weird that these quacks do that all the time themselves.
seems that you should not trust these quacks, because they exposed themselves.
that's critical thinking. Of course you lack that, which is why you don't question anything.
The more that I grow up the more I realize that every system relies on rational actors.
Free market capitalism? Relies on the consumer being informed of their choices and paying for the best products, not the most convenient.
Communism? Relies on the idea of rational distribution of resources.
Monarchism? Relies on rational individual.
Fascism? Relies on rational identity within the state
Democracy? Relies on rational voters and that the majority has the correct idea.
Egoism? Relies on the idea that rational minds can come to the conclusion of the ego.
Objectvism? Relies on rational measurements of what is moral for the individual above all else.
None of these things will ever, truly work because the average person is not rational, it is a combination of these political theories that creates human society.
>Hurr durr fence sitter
This isn't about centrism as in "Everything has a good point!", it's about how every political ideology that states that it will work because of "rational populations" is huffing their own fucking farts.
>governments BAD

>>714436541if there is no government then a government is immediately created by whoever wants to control others and a free market never exists
>>714436356and as you well know, you don't get ownership of a hundred million property for fifty bucks. you get to play a videogame under certain terms and conditions, which you are free to refuse and play one of many others.
i'm sure there are videogame developers who will happily provide extended support for a small fee - or even bake it into their base offering. i suggest buying from them instead if you find this important.
>>714431620On the one hand, it's just an instance of competition against the corpos, like worker unions (when they're independent). Let EU try it and the rest of the world will learn by example.
On the other, I have a feeling this shit will backfire someday, or the corpos will find a way (or multiple ways) around it, fucking us over even harder in the process.
Still not getting game ownership instead of licensing, would be nice to fix that too.
>>714436386some retard claimed that corporations would rob you of your property and that's not the case.
of course when you are retarded and give money to some corpo like Valve for digital bits in return combined with online DRM, all you got there is yourself to blame.
>>714436621Wow anon, that's real interesting, we should have some kind of governing body that makes sure these things are safe

How about you provide proof that viruses actually exist and do what the quacks claim, and that it is indeed infectious.
because did you know, Germ theory is officially called a theory, not a fact. lol
>>714436637you're kind of right but you're wrong for putting them all on equal ground, a single tyrant being rational is far easier to achieve than getting an entire voter base or proletariat or corpo shill force or whatever to be rational
unfortuantely, a single benevolent tyrant has other problems that prevent it from being a good government form, mostly in that there is no such thing as a perfect and unassailable means of force they could use to prevent the irrational idiots from tearing it down

>>714431620love all the seething replies from gubbermint babies but youre still wrong since the existing system will never be a free market so the next best thing is to make vain attempts to wield the gubbermint as a hammer against the corporations who do the same thing to us, just much more effectively. And also if it even was a free market, a free market isnt good enough since you any power structure that holds a monopoly on violence will destroy any sense of free market. Purchasing power isn't enough, you need to rape and kill the people and their bloodlines for mistreating the consumer. Our ideal state of being is the stick-throwing tribe stage, btw, and complete nuclear annihilation cannot come serve as penance to all the faggots of the world soon enough. I also hate niggers and jews
>>714437542Lmao A free market is simply an economic model that is unregulated by the government. I have never said anything about free market being a corruption free economic model that can be enforced without loopholes and fraudulent practices. Again do you know how to follow a thread?

>>714435484> USA has trade deficit against EU.Yes, because the EU is a socialist dumpster that simply doesnโt allow quality goods into its market, knowing that its subpar products canโt withstand competition. The same goes for China, for example. Itโs very difficult to enter their market as a foreign resident because China tightly regulates access to its markets, which significantly impacts the quality of their products since thereโs no fair competition.
American goods, on the other hand, are forced to compete with the entire world on their home market, and thatโs exactly what makes American products so high-quality. If they were allowed to enter the EU and Chinese markets, their domestic producers would go bankrupt overnight.

Proper fucking communism would be to immediately confiscate all houses from anyone that owns more than 2 or 3, and then immediately put those properties up for a lotto of some sort that you have to give proof of residency in NY state to apply for. And if you get caught trying to game that system to get houses to rent like a shitter? Jail time (honestly I'd go with firing squads, but I'm extremist like that)
Instead of this "hurr durr let me just help by letting you pay 1% less rent a month". How is that a fucking solution.
Proper fucking communism needs extremist but commies these days aren't willing to do what needs to be done. That's why the working class shifted right.

There is obviously bad regulations, that curb freedom and competition, and good regulations that ensure fair play between all.
game developers must either sell a good, or a service with an expiry date. They can't keep getting away with selling services in the guise of goods, with no expiry date.
Or they can, but that must be informed in the box: "this game is a service that can be shutdown at any moment in our discretion without refunding your money"

Why do people love sucking corporate cock so much?
>>714431620>the more regulated the market, the worse it is for everyone>The direct path to improving product quality is REDUCING market regulations, even to the point of their absence.That being your interpretation shows you are brain dead and slurp up what you hve been told without any training or research. No regulation is just as negative for all involved as over-regulation. There has to be a balance to ensure the market, producers, and consumers are all getting the highest quality out of their goods and service without stifling productivity and ingenuity.
I doubt you even realise how regulated your life and country is, but you'd notice it quick once it disappeared.
>This is exactly why American goods are far superior in quality to European ones.This is also retarded. For starters, many "American Made" products aren't even made in America (either partially or in their entirety). Many American companies will buy all their parts overseas and assemble them in America for the "American Made" label or will manufacture a few parts but buy the rest from europe, china, india, vietnam, etc. America's quality of goods isn't that different to the rest of the largest manufacturing countries.

>>714433691>at least mass market stuff like food, there's a reason americans can't export their normal foodBecause it would cause massive issues at the scale America could export food leading to local farmers being unable to compete. Have you even actually looked into this issue or are you just relying on memes or random things you heard from osmosis? If America was allowed to freely export more common food products it would overwhelm most European country's native farmers and topple the entire ecosystem quickly.
If you're going to bring up the chlorine debate then it isn't even an issue and the EU itself has outright done studies showing it as no effect on anyone and would require people to eat something like 30 whole chickens in an hour or two in order to even see the slightest effect from it. You get more chlorine exposure swimming in a pool than you would eating the animals for something like six months or a year straight if I remember right.
The reason the EU shies away from allowing free flowing American poultry and beef is because of how chlorinating food implies you don't have to take care of animals as much prior to slaughter as you can just chlorinate the carcasses. This leads to an ethical issue more than a practicality issue.

>>714438208no such thing as utopia and never will be. the u.s. is a total failure, actually, and one only needs to look at its' hstory to see that. constant eternal wars and religious wars and political bickering and forced race-mixing on a continent-wide scale. all that doesn't scream success to me..
>>714440070> Should we have laws where if someone sold you something, itยดs now your property and someone can't take it back?You were sold a perpetual license with the condition that it could be revoked at any time. You agreed to that. And now youโre blaming the seller for selling you exactly what they promised. Thereโs no one to blame here but yourself.

>>714431620>This is exactly why American goods are far superior in quality to European ones. This is why American service is far better than European service.
>>714441613no, the real difference is the basic difference in how concerned about citizens' health the two areas are, in the us you're on your own, while in the eu you have a powerful healtcare system that will take care of you, therefore in the us it's only your problem if you die from poison food, while in the eu it's everyone's problem if you're unhealthy, so you get treated better and pointlessly unhealthy things are either outlawed or taxed to hell

>>714443696Except it's not. As I stated, the EU has no issues with importing American food, the issue is that it has to weigh that with the ethical concerns of EU citizens in terms of animal husbandry mixed with the concerns of their local farmers. Europeans are willing to pay a bit more money to ensure animal welfare in addition to national pride for certain foods. America can subsidize an enormous amount of the world's basic food needs when it comes to trade, but that comes at the cost of destroying local farmers costing hundreds of thousands of potential jobs in the process.
The EU is being pragmatic about why they don't want an influx of American food and taking multiple factors into account. They've already cleared the health concerns decades ago and the only reason the chlorinated argument is still prevalent today is because people think it's weird so it stays in the public consciousness despite being completely inconsequential.
