Also, el oh el to the guy who trusts the government to regulate things over the private sector.



Yea because a company that has waste won't dump it into your drinking water if they don't regulate him to not do so. So yes the government is there to stop those things. There is a lot of good regulation and bad regulation. This is not a all or nothing, there is a grey area. GOV. plays a major role. sorry you don't think so. People die off of unregulated companies all the time. If you didn't know that you are not informed but you go ahead and trust a person who see's profits over people.

except that in a free market, a company wouldnt be successful at all if they poisened their consumers.

its not it the best interest of a company to harm their consumers, they will/would quickly go out of business if they did because everyone woul switch to the other competing company that isnt killing them.

there is little to no need for the government to regulate companies.

self regulation by the market will do it wayyy more effectively.


No it won't and the 1800 show that. lets wait until people die. Do you know how many companies I can name that are killing people right now and no one is doing a fucking thing. This site is full of, you guessed it, smart guys. Poisesn don't just kill people. Sometimes it takes years. So who is going to notice, until it's to late. How many products can you think of that have been banned that stuck around for 100's of years. Lead paint, cancerious polution and many other things. 

and how would government regulation fix this problem, are they going to find out about it before people. like I said it requires a free market, and like kaz said it requires a honest and transparent media and government to report on it. that requires a smaller government that gets out of the business of business. becuase that means thes "evil corporations' wont have any lobbying power in the first place. government has pushed for many things and regulated things that they thought were good for us just for it to be found out they were all wrong years later. ethonal is a prime example, government really pushed for subsidies for it, it now turns out its less effiecient and worse for the environment, and increases corn (food) costs.


What about the guy down stream from a corporation that dumps chemicals in the water or into the ground. This also cause's cancer but hey they will go out of business. .

I'm done with this thread for a while. You people are something else. Maybe when this country is a smoking pile of sh-t you will actually wake up to intelligence.

There is a sayin that goes around my college, don't even talk to the guy that watch's fox news, He's to stupid to even understand common sense. What makes you think he could understand Politics. This is very much the truth.

So in conclusion, the 1800's was exactly what you all want to so bad. it was a horrible time in america and corporations destroyed dreams, hopes and lifes. The free market does not just run on it's own, it can but do you think you or I can survive it. No. The free market is a stupid idea. Almost all bizz would get destroyed in a free market and only the most corrupt and the most evil will survive. I will say it again america has a bunch of stupid fucks that like to take all of there info from the guy fucking them in the ass.


no, technology does. it has nothing to do with regulations. do you really think, if we had the rules and regulations we do today bad thing wouldnt happen back in 1800. No, they would either completely ignore them or industry would have been completely halted. every advancement would screech to a complete stop.

what what would happen if applied our regulations to places like indonesia or somalia?

here's a good graph showing my point, time and technology is the answer, not regulations
