When the first post is also the best post.

This scheme is stupid. If the state factories don't produce a profit then the taxpayers must pay for production instead of consumers.

And if they make a profit then that goes into the Treasury.
Do you object to all taxation on principle?

Profit motivates people to invest in shit. Remove that motivation and economy will go venezuela style

Shitty Barbie cartoon, unreadable font.

Gee, it's hard to resist such an appealing ideology presented in such a prestigious package.

How are you supposed to make a profit when the State is giving out things for free?
I don't mean the State should expand into more industries- the opposite; I want the state to shrink

Rude

Could you name an example where a state industry was able to deliver more cheaply than a private one for the same product?

What's the point of drug prohibition ?

Also the point of public services is exactly to be free of market pressure. That doesn't mean it should be given for free (and it's not in many cases).

> Rude

The font gave me eye cancer.

European public health care is way cheaper than the private one in the US

Im sure it is. But its not the same country. Could you say they are cheaper and deliver the same quality as a private hospital in france?

British rail
It was actually turning a profit before it was privatized. now it needs handouts.

Fuck Off Commie Scum.

its also shittier

People having access to drugs is bad. They will take them then wish they hadn't, indicating that they were being temporarily irrational. Government invests in drug prohibition to protect people from bad choices.
It's also bad for their parents / children

What do you mean 'free of market pressure'?

I think New Zealand does it cheaper though.

Sounds good at first glance, but the error was delivering handouts. They should have let it fail. Only Then can someone come in and do it better.

The US doesn't have private health care

That's not a "no true Scotsman" thing either, the Medicaid/Medicare/ACA systems are much larger than any European national health service.

I think they mostly do.

In the US, healthcare prices are unregulated. Rich people pay overpriced insurances covering overpriced drugs, material and doctors, and a lot of useless stuff hospitals can charge because the insurance will pay and not people directly.

In France, the prices are regulated. Drug prices are bargained by the state so that they can be sold cheaper. People are not prescribed useless tests and drugs.

>dude Venezuela lmao

Sounds like communism to me.

Yes, I'd just love one of those $24,000 toilet seats the Pentagon buys.

>In France, the prices are regulated.
And this only works because the US bans importation

then the money goes directly to the people who run the treasury, namely bureaucrats

People aren't getting it
I only wanted to do this for services that the State already 'forces people to buy'- education, roads, police, fire protection, healthcare, and other things like that

Not expand it into places where it doesn't operate already
I am a capitalist like you- I want to give firms a better chance to compete

If what you say is true, then private healthcare has no advantage over state healthcare and would go broke. I'm having trouble believing that state healthcare is better than private. Why would private even exist?

Moreover, if there are price regulations, that means profit is hindered and thus investment in the field is not attractive. This gives more power to state healthcare and reduces innovation and entrpeneurship.

>sell at cost of production
And what about transport cost? Handling fees? Bureaucracy costs? Retail services? Investments in new technologies? Expansion and growth of production capacity? Advertising to let people know this kind of product even exists?

Look at my flag. What do you think you redcoat bastard?

Yeah ignore the additional costs and the need to expand production

>transport cost
>handling fees
>bureaucracy cost
These seem like they should be included.

Calgary transit.

>benefits
>drug prohibition
lmao

this is what I was going to suggest.

Free-riding is always going to pose a problem with things like this.

thanks minorities

>production
>includes transport
>which is explicitly a part of distribution costs

so its basically how it is already minus any profit for the person going through the trouble of stocking the item? how does anyone make enough money except for the bare necessities (which I assume are also provided by the state). in this socialist hell hole, how does anyone splurge on things they don't "need"? and who ultimately decides what we do and do not need?

Social security would not exist. Stupid system.

So the first iphone costs 10billion dollars, then each one after that costs 15 dollars? Is that right?

Government should and generally does only provide services which are susceptible to free-riding anyway, so what's the fucking point of this dumb idea?

Name one concrete example of a service where PCP is implementable.

>Why would private even exist?
Because there is no state healthcare in the US to force private healthcare to be competitive, you silly man.

If you're asking why people would settle for a retarded and expensive system that consistently delivers the worst results in the developed world, ask an American.

Someone was doing it better.

The state.

>let the national rail network fail
You realise that basically means the collapse of the country, right? And I'm talking in a matter of DAYS.

This would only work in an all white nation.

thought the same

Public transportation wouldn't be used by enough people for it to be affordable
