    I will bite.

    The problem you have is govt subsidized trash pickup. Thus, you don't know the true cost of disposing your trash. Lets assume that the cost to actually dispose a plastic trash bag is $0.03, while a paper bag is only $0.01. Now, you don't see this because the govt subsidizes the price, you pay nothing extra for that extra cost. So when you go to Giant and get your groceries bagged in plastic, you don't think "Fuck this may cost me $2.00 extra when the trash man comes," no you make no passing thought about it.

    So the issue is you don'tknow the true cost of throwing trash away. If it were all run by private companies, not subsidized by government's, we would pay proportional to the ability to throw the trash away. The longer an item takes to disolve, the less recycable it is, the more you pay for your trash. Clearly, this isn't the way we have it now and look at how much shit we throw away and the extra packaging that comes along with shit you buy.

    Once again, the government solution isn't the proper one.

  22. Re:Perfect Capitalism Cuts Out the Soft Middle on Globalization Decimating US I.T. Jobs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    jesus fucking christ NO.

    "Perfect" capitalism has nothing to do with big companies making sweet heart deals with governments to ensure they get their monopoly. Globalization has nothing to do with the free market and capitalism. it is protectionism at its finest. the only "globalization" that true capitalists push for is free trade, unhindered by government. None of this trade agreement shit that hinders competition.

    big fucking deal if IT gets outsourced. When that occurs it is a commodity and it shouldn't be subsidized by the gov't. sure, i'd like to keep my job and big paycheck but it is how true economics works. sure, it will suck but things will move on and humanity will progress. that is how it works, that is how innovation occurs.
