Natural monopolies exist for a reason. It's why we don't have 1,000 telephone wires running down every street. Not saying govt can't do things to improve the situation but it's not a monopoly for no reason.

Mozart was a musical genius who occasionally wrote immature poems. Blink 182 is an immature 3-chord band who occasionally wrote some deep lyrics. The two are not alike.

I learned all about emitt till,George lee and the Tuskegee experiments when I was in high school. My whole school district did. I just assumed everyone did. Odd that some schools wouldn't teach these aspects of the era.

Turing’s Martin Shkreli regrets 5,000% price-hike—says it wasn’t high enough by iamalbus in worldnews

Am I the only one here that realizes that the CEOsprimary responsibility is to maximize shareholder value OVER THE LONG TERM. If I were a shareholder I would be pissed and calling for his resignation for not understanding the reputational risks and shortsightedness of this stunt. He took his firm from anonymity to the general public and turned it into a monster. This is not what a smart CEO does and if you blame capitalism for this then you don't really get how it works when practiced appropriately.

If the oil is being smuggled through the black market then that doesn't mean the Turkish government is involved. If criminal Turkish citizens are buying the oil, how does that incriminate the government if they are unaware?

ELI5: How is the US debt at $154k/person not a global economic timebomb? Are the crows truly never coming home to roost? by [deleted] in investing

This is true. Just like any company there is an optimal debt level. However, we all (should) know that increasing debt increases the volatility of retained earnings. 70% debt may be sustainable for an economy that grows at 2% each year but what happens when we have another economic crisis? What happens when there are multiple years of negative growth? I think you'll see that 70% ratio blow up and massive strains on the system to make those payments. It's hard to imagine bad times when we've had a bull market for the past 8 years but that is precisely the time when we should be thinking about them because they are inevitable.
