Re: Mr. Bode, said by openbox9:Because you didn't follow the ordinances of the local municipality and/or regulatory body. If you obtain your permits, achieve necessary franchise agreements, lease space in the ROW, pay appropriate insurance as required by law, outrun the cop eating donuts, ensure you receive necessary inspections, and have the city/county engineers approve your work, you can install your poles and/or trench your cable. Free market for everyone willing to abide by the rules. Then such market is inherently not "free", because there are artificial barriers to entry that prevent anyone and everyone from entering it.
Please, stop bandying about the term "free market". You obviously have no idea what the hypothetical concept even means. | |

kudos:2 | Are you incapable of anything other than smack talk or insult? You have a tendency to come into debates, throw out a few jabs with little actual contribution, and then run away. said by sonicmerlin:Then such market is inherently not "free", because there are artificial barriers to entry that prevent anyone and everyone from entering it. I'll grant you that free markets don't truly exist in the classical definition, but nonetheless, it's a relatively level playing field. Perhaps you would prefer to choose a different term, or maybe even create a new one? Or maybe you would prefer that we actually remove the regulations that prevent a truly free market? The fact of the matter is that all entrants to a market face the same rules and regulations. | |
