Yeah that is wrong.
You might find the odd community - Wasilla, maybe - that does not require BY LAW that only UL certified **** be put into homes.
You MIGHT.
But generally speaking, no UL, no sale. BY LAW.
That is how wall street makes its money. BY LAW. That is why, in many states, armed policemen will visit you if you try to live off-grid. It interferes with wall street profits, as they own the electric company you are forced by law to patronize.
Capitalism relies on the state to corner markets, rather than earn their business. Look at Microsoft. It's an inferior product. But it owns the lion's share of the market. The reason for this is not that it served the market better, but that they were better connected and better at bullying the competition rather than out-serving the competition. If you look at any industry, private enterprise always does a better job. But capitalism always wins, because they have the government gun behind them.
We need to emulate this nation's founders and rebel against capitalism and reinstate free enterprise. Wall Street should be hermetically sealed as a monument to a failed economic system - an economic system defined by parasitism over service.

Let me just put this idea to you, for your consideration.LibDave » 29 Dec 2021, 7:20 pm » wrote: ↑ First, UL certification is NOT required. When someone or some company seeks to insure a product against injury liability (unfortunately our society is quite litigious) many insurance companies require it pass UL certification. Although there are many such competing certification laboratories. In fact UL is nothing more than a group of independent laboratories who each specialize in the testing of various consumer products who operate and are advertised under the name UL. Hence the term United Laboratories. Companies are free to find different insurance and many forego insurance and the associated certifications it would require. Not all insurers require certification though the costs are normally higher. Major auto producers do just that. They perform their own testing and handle their own litigation. It's up to all parties involved what the services of each is worth and whether to enter into a contract at all.
As for the stock market, stock is just the shared ownership of a company. Owning a portion of the stock allows you to share in any profits (or losses it incurs). The company enters into agreements (as I described) which may or may not result in profits. The company may rent out their capital equipment to skilled workers who then produce goods for market. Free and fair contracts where all are benefited. They may also desired to instead pay wages to these same workers and keep the product themselves. If they sell the product for more than they agreed to pay in wages good for them. Whatever agreements they come to as long as it is free of undue coercion everyone involved must believe they benefit.
As a stockholder I have entered into a different agreement in which I exchange my wealth for a share of the proceeds generated by the company resulting from whatever contracts the company decides to enter into in exchange for what the property owned by the company brings to the table.
We live in the golden age of capitalism. That is inarguable - wall street has never been richer, never been more powerful, never been more influential. We have seen record years for a record number of years.
And we ALL believe in free markets - especially the capitalists. Right?
Right?
Yet regulations have never been more numerous and more stifling and expensive to startups - even though the capitalists have never been stronger.
That doesn't strike you as incongruous?

There is nothing free and fair and devoid of violence and coercion about subjugating the population of thousands of square miles and starving them. Any such endeavors are CERTAINLY not condoned by our laws and in no way a part of capitalism. This is just out and out tyranny. Not even going to entertain such nonsense.

In America, if you build a better mousetrap, the makers of Decon and other anti rodent products use the FDA, DEA, IRS and other alphebet industries to attempt to make your product illegal. When that fails they simply make a similar product while criminalizing the distribution of the original inventors good.
We need to emulate the founders. We need to outlaw WHATEVER name you want to give that crap on Wall Street. Name it petunia palunia, but OUTLAW it. Any attempt to "reform" is will be MANAGED BY THEM.

So my associates and I should be prevented from getting together and pooling our money to make the equipment needed to produce nano gravity propulsion systems? Once we complete the equipment needed to produce the engines we should also be prevented from hiring workers? Should we be prevented from instead renting out the equipment and teaching those would-be workers to create their own propulsion engines for sale? Should we do so should the workers who used our equipment be required to sell the systems for a price you consider fair. Because you won't allow it even though you aren't even involved in any way?
We need to pool our money to afford the equipment and have all agreed to put in the same amount and receive the same percentage of any profits. Isn't your prevention of our ability to do just that exactly what you are complaining was the case with solar panels? When we finish we will be evil for getting together and creating the equipment necessary to lower the cost of interplanetary space flight because for whatever reason you consider our actions evil and exploitive?

And it is the actual practice of capitalism that affects our lives - not the theory.
You still have not explained why the nanny state needs to be involved in the economy at the level of regulating the trading boards which you APPARENTLY require in order for you and some buddies to go into bidness together...

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?

A lot of the things that interest you have been delved into at length, and you might just find some food for thought.
My own assaults on capitalism - numerous and unrelenting over more than a decade - have mostly survived a recent data purge. You will find your simplistic view of capitalism rather brutally skewered, and you might just become an advocate of free enterprise - with a firm understanding of the differences between these competing systems.

Is your objection that we pooled our money to bring this about and for some unknown reason you believe stock ownership and our free, fair and private agreement is evil?
