Как и ожидалась, проблема матери-одиночки Кнафо решается вполне рыночными средствами. Но поп-социалисты этого так не оставят, поэтому про дочку мы больше никогда ничего не услышим, зато про бедную маму, которой нечем кормить дочку-рекламную модель, услышим ad nauseam.

А ты что думал? Рекламные модели, они ведь как лошади породистые: уйму денег надо, чтобы их содержать.А откуда, спрашивается, у матери-одноночки найдуться такие деньги?

Что-то тут не так. Рекламных моделей кормить не надо. Они же худеют!

Market forces never solve any problems. A market of wolves and sheep will favor strong wolves and a certain balance of sheep potentially. However market will not make sure that all sheep are alive and well, in fact it depends on some sheep being very dead.
Thats why we as a society choose to control and limit the market - we are mostly sheep and we want to be alive. Whether that is "good" or "bad" is not possible to determine, as it is equivalent to the meaning of life.

It is extremely rare that somebody agree that he is sheep. But, with sheep brain, anything is possible.

Whether one agrees or not is irrelevant. However, any large group of sheep can excercise significant force when united. This is exactly what all sorts of minorities and underpriviledged are doing when they proclaim specific rights.

But when sheep, uregulated in their number by the wolves, eat up all the grass, they die a slow and painful death of starvation (sort of what is beginning to happen in Israeli economy now)

May be. But thats how life works.

I have no passion for anyone (with potential exception of myself and people close to me). I simply state the facts. I am not a socialist and i am not Israeli.
The fact of the matter is that these people want something and use all means available to them to achieve it. They may or may not succeed (i am guessing that they will if only partially but that is irrelevant).
It is also completely understandable that you are outraged - in your position what they want diminishes what you (perceive to) have.

I simply stated that your contention that market will somehow resolve their problem is not true. Market does not resolve anyones problem. Market is not meant for that. Now if i would say "i LIKE things working by force" - i'd be a "capitallist"
If i'd say - "i like people getting all they want, screw the market" - i'd be a "sociallist"
But, sadly, i am too smart too subscribe to either theory - as both are trivial and incorrect beginning with their principles.
Do i make myself clear?:)))

The problem is that, like wolf in sheep skin, they are asking not for the rights but for privileges.
