If a bank or airline failed, and the government did not bail them out, they would no longer be rich.

And the monopolies part should be self explanatory.


In the OP you imply government intervention can alleviate wealth disparity, and here you’re saying government intervention caused the wealth disparity.


Neat.

Legalize smallscale home cultivation of weed and shrooms and prohibit plantations, so that many households will have the pportunirty to take part in a lucerative cottage industry.




  It’s not that easy . Allot of people growing weed or anything really makes it difficult to sell for a price that makes it worth it .  It used to be 4 to 5 gs a pound  when medical weed started in California . As law enforcement slowly stopped fucking with people ,  everyone started growing  and prices have fallen to nothing . 
  I made the most money growing weed at that price back in the day . I stopped considering it worth it about 7 years ago due to too much competion . It’s a pain in the ass and it takes money to grow top shelf shit .
  To me it seems like we are creating more jobs and prosperity through regulation . It’s created a much larger market place and allowed for more buisinesses  to exist .  It allows people to have a job working with something they love , one that gauntees you will get paid and not buried in the forrest or robbed . 
I think the mostly unregulated market that existed a few years ago in California is going to be looked at as a real low point in our pot growing history in this state .

         
  This is what happens in a well regulated legal market .

    When weed is legal , mostly unregulated and everyone and their grandma grows it , this is what happens .

We aren't going to solve wealth inequality but we can certainly fix social security fast and easy by removing the maximum taxable earnings cap. Right now it increases every year but at something resembling the inflation rate: $127,200 for 2017, $128,700 for 2018, $132,900 for 2019. The rich and the super-rich can certainly afford to pay more.


Or we could do what the Republicans want and just screw everyone who has paid into SS all their working lives.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Monopoly laws and no more government subsidies?


1. More progressive taxation.
2. Increase minimum wage.
3. Free education for everyone
4. Free healthcare for everyone
5. Better transportation infrastructure, including free commuter travel in metro areas.
6. Stronger rent controls.

There are literally thousands of ways to do it that don't require socialism.

Your knowledge of Shroomery history and grasp of metaphor are lacking young padawan :smile:

Developing nation toilets were actually built.

Meanwhile, why would people in developing nations lack the will to use toilets. Its lack of access, in some cases.
