Re previous post, anytime someone argues that doing [right thing] is useless because [government needs to act first] or [some weird paradox], these people need to take a harsh look at themselves. Be very wary of folks that try to stop *you* from improving the world. I fear they are trying to justify that they are doing fuck all by making sure you don't do anything useful either.
@bert_hubert But is there a name for when you're doing the right thing, but the competition does the cheaper wrong thing thing and spends the difference on marketing and lobbying?
@zash “a weak excuse”
@bert_hubert I expected "capitalism" :)
@zash I would say "moloch" (a game-theoretic concept)
