25 Images of Markets “Regulating Themselves”

 

“When economists talk about how a market “regulates itself,” what they mean is that markets reach an equilibrium between supply and demand.

 

This says nothing about whether or not this equilibrium will be a good thing for society. It simply states that if consumers choose what to buy and producers choose what to sell and how to produce it, the market settles on a product distribution and prices.

 

Lately, many people I know have argued that “free markets” mean something more. They see markets as ethically right or ethically moral, meaning pursuit of profit always somehow leads to a greater good.

 

Unfortunately, morality isn’t built into markets.”

Why This Transgender Teen’s Big Legal Victory Matters

Wayne Maines was in a meeting when he got the call. His daughter, a transgender teenager who had been fighting the state of Maine for years over her right to use the girls’ bathroom at school, had finally won.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Five states down, 45 more to go.

 

“Some jurisdictions (e.g., Colorado, Iowa, San Francisco, New York City, and the District of Columbia), however, have indicated that denying transgender people the right to use a gender identity-appropriate restroom violates nondiscrimination laws. In addition, Washington’s Human Rights Commission states that “transgender employees should be permitted to use the restroom that is consistent with the individual’s gender identity.” Some jurisdictions (e.g., Iowa, San Francisco, and D.C.) make clear that transgender people cannot be required to prove their gender to gain access to a public bathroom, unless everyone has to show ID to use that bathroom. Other jurisdictions (e.g., Chicago) continue to allow businesses to determine whether a transgender patron is given access to the male or female bathroom based on the gender on his or her ID.” –source

Multilingual Coca-Cola ad sparks love

A Coca-Cola ad with “America the Beautiful” in different languages that aired during the Super Bowl has sparked anger.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Notice CNN doesn’t say what percentage of the comments were hateful vs what percentage where supportive.

 

And CNN let’s the “English is the way” guy speak first.

 

CNN you are part of the problem. You frame the story in a negative light instead of a positive light.
