> Strangely enough you were the only one to bring up anything about laws being passed.....
How else are you proposing that we mandate equal salaries?
> Are you also opposed to the government forcing products like cigarettes to have disclaimers where the buyer can decide to buy them or not knowing the risk involved?
I think it is strange how arbitrary it is to mark cigarettes like this.
Why not put domestic abuse, fetal alcohol syndrome, car accidents, and alcoholism pictures on every bottle of beer?
Why not put mutilated corpses of people who have died in the vehicle on the side of every car you look at buying?
Why is it just cigarettes that gets that treatment? Why should even cigarettes get that treatment?
There are a million things you can do that harm yourself and others. Freedom of choice + Education is key, NOT government mandate of whatever it decides is safe for your consumption.
> Would you be okay with all of the products you buy having no prices and people getting better prices based on negotiation?
That's exactly how the market works. You are constantly negotiating when you make any financial decision. If people decide that Store XYZ has bread that is too expensive, they can go to Store FGH. Just because many individual stores set prices doesn't mean that there aren't macro negotiations constantly happening. That's pretty much the definition of the free market.
Also micro negotiations are allowed to happen thanks to a free market. Sometimes you get ripped off, sometimes you get a good deal. Again, education is key. You get burned so you learn.
