A good reason to encourage monopolies?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Sure, somebody might be motivated enough by the promise of monopoly profits to find a cure for cancer, for example!

Or, they might be motivated enough by monopoly profits to stay far ahead of prospective competitors to discourage their entrance into the market thus advancing our standard of living at the fastest possible rate.

If the monopoly is not run by a human, I could agree....

Three words spring immediately to mind:

"Doctor Jonas Salk".
Having developed a successful vaccine for polio, which previously had afflicted up to twenty thousand kids a year, he dismissed the idea of patenting the vaccine. "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

Left to a monopoly however I'm sure a Monsanto could come up with a genetic fix that would commit suicide every year and you'd have to go back to them, hat in hand, for a renewal shot (the price of which would rise every time of curse), and if you didn't get it the cancer would return with a vengeance.

Yeah what a great plan.

dear we are not interested in you cutting all the content out of a post and then attacking what empty strawman is left because you can't handle the point.

Do you have the IQ to understand, or should I send Joe Stalin and Tom Jefferson to teach you?

I'm drinking Budweiser "Black Crown".
It's nothing more than muted and musty Budweiser. Over $7/six pack. What the fuck is up with beer prices?

Oh, I know- the ass fucking famer. Grain for ethanol.
