That is kind of true but it also protects corporations from small businesses. For example min wage harms small businesses much more than large corporations. You can like the “protection” but then you will get what you get with corporations and costs. If you opt for the bigger government then you will get things like unaffordable houses and inflation, so dont complain when you get what you asked for.
Ok but without regulation you get poverty wages, 12 hour shifts, 6 day work weeks, and food with no nutrition unless you think lead is a vital mineral.
Just among so many other things, like the lead poisoned baby food from March this year, you clown, the FDA was established in 1906, and Republicans are, right now, trying to abolish child labor laws and hiring 12 year olds in meat packing plants.
In fact, minimum wage earners tend to put a greater portion of their earnings back into the local economy vs. savings and helps or at least don’t impact particularly negatively small business. Neoclassical economics is a joke.
Our current economic situation is the product of decades of regulation cutting supply side (aka neoclassical) economics championed by the likes of Thatcher and Reagan, which still dominates today. You know where housing is not unaffordable? Vienna, Austria. A place where better than half the residents live in social housing. The product of a strong government and regulation.
So your theory is that housing is so expensive because of less regulation? And if we had more regulations in how houses are built housing would be cheaper?
Yes, of course. Banning short term rentals for example is a regulation that would put downward pressure on housing prices. Banning investment companies such as Blackrock, Blackstone, etc from purchasing single family homes, duplexes, 4-plexes and the like would do the same. Whereas the lack of regulation around these things has contributed to home price inflation. The idea that people are unable to afford homes because there is too much regulation holds water like a sieve.
It’s really frustrating that you read the comment outlining the kind of regulation that would help, yet you somehow think the only kind of regulation possible is “make houses harder and more expensive to build” and dip out of the conversation with a “wow ur dumb lol”. It’s almost as if you’ve been arguing in bad faith and have no information to back up any of your takes.
I understand your frustration but what am I supposed to say to someone that just repeats and believes ANY propaganda that their side tells them? What he said is so so far off from what reality is, its literally turned into a cult at this point.

This is not 1812 anymore. If it were like that why wouldnt you just work for yourself or an employer that treats you well?
Lmao

It was a populous example and if you want to get into the weeds on it we could, but it wasnt the important part of the comment.
I love how you guys claim that sort of economics is dumb as you cant afford a house and to feed yourselves. Modern monetary policy is working great!!

That is hillarious, I can tell you dont know anything about how housing built. Have a great day!
Yeah, all that housing in Vienna appeared from nowhere.
But sure, you have a great day as well.
