      Counter-point: buses with no fare can still make good time on a route even with a lot of stops cause people get off/on quickly.

      you're going to moralize about my dystopia example? what if poor people had real reason to fear other poor people? it's not their fault that society left them to duke it out in a mad max style dystopia

        Ah I get your point. Anyways, it's like saying "If a person puts a gun in your head and made you choose between eating your own shit or eating somebody elses shit. Well eatig your own shit is the better thing to do"

          Unless you have one of the very many conditions that fecal transplant bacteriotherapy is an effective treatment for. The more people's poop you eat, the stronger you get. Its like highlander, but for gut flora.

          yes absolutely. this is how I think capital treats most people, and how decision making in such a market works: they discourage social bonds and replace them with goods and services, suddenly those goods seem more necessary and the utility increases and the economist smiles
