    This is nuts. Companies don’t have the right to include or not any accessories with their products? Or to decide what their warranty covers? What’s next, the state determining prices?
    Be careful what you talk about. Price controls are the first step to a centrally managed economy and I’m positive they are being discussed and promoted by people like AOC. Remember the Soviet Union's ‘Five Year Plans’ that always failed?  
    Remember China's 5 year plans -- that always seem to succeed, pulled hundreds of millions out of poverty, and will soon let it overtake the U.S. as world's leading economy?

    The ideological viewpoint is that capitalism is always better than socialism (or vice-versa)
    The reality based viewpoint is that right things tend to happen to those who do the right things -- it doesn't care about ideology.

    Personally, I prefer reality


    China’s five year plans worked as well as the soviets until they adopted aspects of capitalism, allowing corporations and businesses to exist rather than everything owned by the State, but the businesses are still under state control.  What Mussolini called fascism, not the kind that the Antifa kiddies rail about.

    True -- except for the part about their corporations are controlled by the state.
    Theirs are no more controlled by the state than are ours -- despite Trump's fabrications.

    But, I'm not sure how you worked antifa into all that - and especially how you equated an anti-fascism group with fascism!   Just the obsessive hate and racism I guess.
    Yeah, no. China's businesses are very much intertwined with the Chinese state, and that's increasing

    No more so than American companies are.

    You should probably share your work for that assertion.
