I don't think you understand economics. The economy naturally booms and crashes since the dawn of time.

The key is to slow down the boom and speed up the crash so we don't end up with the economy totally crashing

I am familiar with Keynesian economics. I am not suggesting that regulations fully prevent crashes, either then or now.

What I am saying is that removing the guardrails so you can cut corners even more aggressively in the interest of profit works great until you crash in a way that the guardrails would have made the crash suck a lot less.

I'm not familiar with "Keynesian economics". However I do think cutting corners is something that is common with many industries. It isn't because of profit but is more related to the desire not to go out of business. Competition is normally a good thing as it drives down prices while increasing options for customers. The fix to this is to bad behavior with fines or outright bans.

lmao you fucking muppet it’s the foundational ideology to what you’re trying to express. The fact that you freely admitted that you haven’t heard of it is an implicit admission of complete ignorance on the topic you’re attempting to push. Kindly cease attempting to misinform people.

I have never heard of "Keynesian economics" until today and I haven't seem any paper, journals or other such media to back your claims. I'm not a professional economist but it seems like you are just following someone or something blindly.

So before you get mad you should look to draw your own conclusions and be familiar with what you are arguing. I my intention wasn't to provoke you. Lemmy is full people stating options and half truths as absolute facts. I'm not guilt free but at least I'm willing to admit my arrogance. Try not to be a gate keeper

I don’t think you understand economics

And then later

Try not to be a gatekeeper

Lol no. I’m not gonna let you just pretend you came out of the gates with a diplomatic tone.

You’re arguing in bad faith. I called you on it, and your response indicates you don’t know what you’re talking about.
