It appears you lack a firm grasp of my argument.LibDave » 29 Dec 2021, 8:10 pm » wrote: ↑ Stick to the point. In my case I do not rely on "Government muscle" whatever that is. We have the ability to produce an engine that will make inter-planetary travel routine and little more expensive than a flight from NY to Beijing (actually about triple the cost). It will require a fairly hefty investment but it will likely be well worth the cost. And you assert we should be prevented from freely entering into agreements to bring this about because you (someone who has no involvement whatsoever) think any free and fair agreement we make with potential workers who will use our equipment and knowledge to produce our invention is evil and exploitative. As soon as we make a profit you think you should be the one to decide what price is fair? Both for the product we brought about and what our workers make? Or do you have the right to decide to keep some of their wages for yourself as well? What is your objection? What is your interest and involvement for that matter? Surely we should be entitled to something in return for our efforts, knowledge, skills and equipment? If not I would say it is you who is exploiting us. And you have no right even being involved as you haven't lifted a single finger or participated in any way. Who are you to claim we are exploiting? I would make the case someone who thinks they should have a say in our enterprise and the enterprises of our workers without any effort in kind is the one exploiting.
I have no position on you going into business or taking on partners. I will wish your enterprise well, I assure you, as I am a man of good cheer.
I don't want the nanny state involved - plain and simple. I want business to do business and government to do government - hot side hot, cool side cool. Ya gotta keep em separated.
When you introduce government subsidized trading boards to the equation, we start running afoul of free enterprise.

When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice
"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.
Who cuts off your dick is not a friend
An opinion you won't defend is not your own

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
