Using Government to Force

Hard to do if your dead, hence the reason for the regulations.

He has acknowledged this.

I’m 65 years old. How old are you?

Now you’re adding more conditions to your game.

I’ll be an lawyer in a year, I don’t care about whatever minimum wage job you employed me in.

See how that works?

That’s not necessarily a gain.

Ask yourselves why more companies don’t do that right now.

You act as if government force is somehow “outside the bounds” of game theory.

I don’t know?

Then it is useless.

What shall we call my new “only my best interest” philosophy?

I liked it, but don’t be so partisan.

What did you gain?

Of course it is.

Police your own.

:rofl:

That’s what being a rational actor means - making decisions based on your own best interest.

I am.

If you liquidated (shut the business down) unless you were a bad businessman you lost value in doing so.

If you simply sold the business to someone else…well then, one of the game’s players was simply swapped out.

No, it doesn’t. Decisions are based on emotion.

Horse ■■■■■ I can sell it at a profit.

You’re the one how declared that you were embracing game theory, by the way.

I think it’s a fun exercise, but has significant issues due to exactly what you’ve said. Rational Choice Theory is significantly flawed.

This is interesting. How is it in your best interest to allow … DACA for example? Or raise your own taxes?

Unless the profit on the sale outweighs all future profits you would have made keeping the business open, you are losing financially by selling.

And again, this is you adding new conditions to the game.

I don’t care what we call it.

Do I? Or can I not take the cash and do something else making more profit and not have to deal with your wants?

What difference does it make to you? You’re unemployed.
