I’m not following. I don’t think they said anything about eliminating markets, rather halting monopolies.

Like I said, I'm broadly sympathetic to your view. I was just pointing out that you led with "things that exist to make money..." and while the point you raise is true (or often true), its kind of an unsolved problem.

On halting monopolies I would vote and canvas for you if you ran on it.

I agree about the appeal of decentralization, I just don't know how to make it happen in a world where centralized control is enforced by MQ-9 Reaper drones with sole executive discretion on "kill or capture" of anyone and decentralization is considered a national security priority.

An example would be the people who argue that inherently sovereign and anonymous money would liberate people. What it would do is get you shot for fucking with the Mint.

I didn’t state a view. You’re talking to someone else.

I suppose I'm guilty of the high crime of replying on a phone where the usernames are small, you were continuing a line of thought and I answered the renewed objections to my very reasonable point. `somenameforme` and `spacedmadness` look a lot alike at 8pt.

This is one of those comments where I'm like, I bet the big LLM can write a FireFox extension that will block HN comments by username now...
