Yeah, no shit.

@jlou yeah, states create the hierarchy of bosses they need to "regulate" (rule) the economy effectively and at least somewhat efficiently. they still allow a small slither of entrepreneurship to not be a complete centrally planned disaster. but the entrepreneurs quickly become privileged cronies protected from competition by most people.

much of this is not even intentional, it's just the result of states trying to preserve and secure their power.

Newsflash, water is wet
