Prosecuting Market Choice
Contrary to a common belief, we don’t really have a free market, and what little bit is left is being chipped away.
Today’s comic was inspired by a comment from Brain Police. He does some great videos about the free market on YouTube. I recommend checking out his channel.
EDIT 8/7/2008: Comments that it makes no sense to name the comic “Prosecuting the Free Market” and then pointing out that we don’t have a free market were well taken. I guess I thought of it as an attack on what choices are left to us in the market place, the limited portion or the extent to which the market remains free, but the fact remains that it was hypocritical to use that title while at the same time pointing at that we don’t actually have a free market so I have hot-fixed it.

Actually while correct, I believe the politically correct media approved term used for collusion is price fixing.

This is all thanks to the Sherman Anti-trust Act of 1890. Gotta stop them cartels, y’know. Unless, of course, they pay us big bucks to allow them to sidestep the law.

Quite appropriate that the comic’s whiners are all female. Appropriate in many ways at many levels.

I am using this picture as my facebook profile pic, if that is alright with you. Your name and website link still appear in the bottom so that you are adequately recognized for the work.

It’s more than alright with me. It’s great promotion for the site!

Good one. Is there nothing the gov’t can’t screw up?
No, there isn’t.
