What is amazing is that the competition (the ones banning the more productive) instead of finding ways to use the new methods, reduce their costs and rent out more rooms seek to use violence to remove the more efficient instead of mimicking and improving on their methods. The resort to violence to protect their interest enslaves all, including themselves, they cannot now compete without violating the new rules they have created.

The internet and China has let the fed print lots of money but get away without the price inflation that would normally result. We should have enjoyed price reductions during that time actually

Agree - the internet has taken us a few steps closer to a perfectly competitive low friction market, especially with the trading sites like Amazon, eBay, AliBaba

It was pretty radical in '70. The internet instead of stifling competition is illustrating how well it works.

Thats the idea behind the auto centers with multiple car dealers right next to each other.

People do this on the internet now, particularly in china where you can get the SAME thing from many vendors right there on alibaba.com

Competition is the enemy of business, but the savior of consumers !!

If you are going to be in business, competition should be accepted as a way of life and not be fought against.

They all seem to be in on it...everything is relative and without pure principles.

I recently completed some studies in strategic governance. In that course, they clearly laid out the option to strategise in the political space which, looking back, seems very strange coming from a reputable university.

Jim Taggart couldn't have arranged it any better, himself.

There are myriad benefits to competition, but there is one that I didn't think of until I talked to a fellow camera store owner way back in the 70's. He said that if he had the money, he would open 3 stores, one on each block next to his store. He'd allow each store to be run autonomously. The idea is to create a camera store center with each store competing. It would bring more buyers, who could shop and compare without running all over town and everyone would benefit.

just plain old sickening!
maybe Cuomo will join his father sooner than later

Make rules to break rules, make rules to break competitors. What happened to the man who was glad to lose to a competitor more talented than he? What happened to the winner who after crushing is competitor offered him a job?

Me dino smells a hefty political campaign contribution with perhaps the cronyism promise of more to come.

That's the way it works for parasitical humanoids, "Professional CEO's" and the left in general...why?...because they have no mind to compete, they don't know how, having Never created value in their entire life.
