   Musk is about to, in broad daylight, cancel Verizon's $2.4bn FAA contract and just give it to Starlink, his own company.

   Absolutely bonkers.

     Is it more cost effective? Is it better service? What are the details?

     @Arthur_500 erm.

     In these cases were the other companies CEOs the ones that got to decide which company should get the contract????

     If so that's just as horrific.

     Why not?

     The Biden Administration recently cancelled a large contract with one of Musk's companies only to replace it with a contract that offered lower quality at higher price.

     Canada has recently decided to do the same because they don't like Trump.

     If my taxpayer money is going to be spe3nt, I want it spent well and I don't really care who owns the company.

     What we are getting is a critical piece of information

     Your hatred for an individual seems to block the key point.

     What are we getting at what price?

     During Trump's first term there were expensive events that were held in oddball locations because no one wanted to use the Trump Hotel in DC that was already set up for the special needs of internation meetings.

     Se we wasted money because we didn't want to appear like we were giving business to Trump.

     Lay the facts on the table and let intelligent people decide.

     When you are incapable of intelligent arguments then you are just disemminating false information and hatred.

     A False statement left unchallenged becomes acepted as truth.

     I refuse to accept stupidity as truth.

     If you can show me the argument then I can be persuaded. As long as you simply hate someone/ something, you should be ashamed of yourself.

     Read the documents. The Biden Administration initiated these contracts. I'm sure the Biden Administration, who cancelled other contracts because they didn't like Musk, didn't see any conflict of interest.

     On this line of thinking, no government employee should be allowed to vote as it would be a conflict of interst.

     I'd like to learn more3 about the class you wish to provide. Obviously it is not in critical thinking, nor is in contrct law. Please elucidate.

     He will say "it's not real Socialism"

     Because he is stupid.

     We will say "We just want more of what the Scandinavians have" he will deflect.

     We can talk about weekends, paid holidays, workers rights etc etc. he can't get it.

     People have to profit in order to thrive.
     If I cannot profit then I cannot be helpful to those who have less.
     nOT-FOR-pROFITS MUST PROFIT OR THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

     Being helpful to those in need must be done by everyone. If government 'cares' for people then those in need will remain in need.

     You cannot give away everything or you will starve to death. When you are dead, you cannot help others.

     Being fed clothed and sheltered comes from a successful society in which there is excess - i.e. profit.

     A profitable idea hired employees and they can provide for themselves rather than beg for scraps. And who would they beg form? If there is not profit then there is nothing to share.

     If you have a simple logical answer to it, I don't have to agree, it just has to be consistent and logical.

     I'll agree you are smart enough and engage with you. Ok?

     Here it is.

     Since perfect competition is a prerequisit of a market, and supernormal profits must be stamped out to create a fair market.

     Then how do you justify the existence of billionaires.

     There is no such thing as supernormal profits. YOur premise is flawed.

     Capitalism provides products people want at prices they are willing to pay. Competition seeks to provide better products at lower prices or otherwise differentiate those offerings.

     A Billionaire may make the same amount as a Mom & Pop but due to scale is able to get a larger return. That billionaire then invests their money into additonal companies benefitting even more people.

     Scandiavian countries are capitalist countries with high taxes for healthcare, for example. But it is the capitalise that provides the money.

     Unions have been around for hundreds of years. They benefit few at the expense of many. Weekends, holidays, helathcare, etc, were all from the capitalist taking care of their employees.

     Educate yourself.
