This is corporation, guys. So we're not delusional, but there is a way to be as ethical as you possibly can. But that's not the goal of capitalism. That might be the goal of the person. There might be a advancement of a society to where Yeah, well, multiple people now have jobs now, which means like the way of life is just better across the board for everybody because now everybody's employed.
But one would argue that like we weren't starving before we had jobs. Like before there was a factory, before you bought your food at a grocery store, you just grew your own. For most of human history, people just had like small gardens, like where you just, and you just traded back and forth to where it's like, okay, we grow squash.
Well, I'm gonna walk across the street, go visit another family over there in that other village. I know they grow spinach. Well, you know what I'm saying? I'm bringing them some squash. They bring me some spinach and stuff.
it's fine like we all we we were all right before we had to like work for like cotton pieces of dead men to turn in for our waters to work in our houses because somebody bought the lake and owns the clouds i don't know if you notice you can own the the clouds you can own the land rights and all of the sky and atmosphere above it because capitalism is crazy right now
Anyway, I haven't even talked about antitrust yet. This is absurd. So all that to say, in our system, at least in America, we tried to set up this situation to say that if we keep this institution pure enough, it will police itself. And how you do that, because people really make their decisions by their purchases. People buy what they want.
And if you charge too much, but your brand is trash, and we don't believe you, people won't stop buying it. That's a price elasticity. What's the highest you could charge before people are going to be like, all right, you done lost your mind. This brand ain't worth it. which is how you game the system. You know what I'm saying?
It's like you make your brand worth it, but you charge as high as you can, not as cheap as you can. You take somebody like Arizona IC, they charge as little as they can. That's they brand though. For them it worked. But anyway, we, we as in the royal we, not me, but the concept is you need to have competition in the market. You can't just be the only person selling a thing.
You can defeat your competitors by having a better product at a better price point, but you can't just box them out because when you box them out, when you're the only option, there is no reason for you to not price gouge and the quality of your product doesn't have to be great because you're the only people. That's what I mean by drug dealer. You trying to be the only connect.
If you don't only connect, you charging people whatever you want. They hooked on the product. You can step on your product if you want to because what they going to do? Where you going to go? I'm your only option. I used to feel like that with gas prices because I'm like, what am I going to do? There's no difference to me between mobile and ARCO.
I still have to go to the thing or I don't go anywhere. Like I... Now, as a side note, I went to Rhyme Fest this past weekend at the Coliseum, and I took the train. And I was like, no native, nobody I know takes trains, because they just don't go enough places. But this time, it was like, I didn't have to switch once.
And I was like, bro, why don't... Every time I take the train, every time I take the metro here in LA, I'll be like, why don't I do this? So... Yeah, maybe there is an alternative. Anyway, so being mad over gas prices, I'm like, what, you gonna not go fill up your tank? What, you gonna not go to work? Like, I felt so hopeless. I'm like, this is a monopoly. You monopolize.
So the idea was in the antitrust law, I don't know why they call it that, they just do. Antitrust law is saying, we do not believe in the American economic system that it is legal or even in the spirit of who we are as a nation, that any one company should have a monopoly over a business.
There needs to be competition, meaning there needs to be other companies that are pushing you because what that does for the consumer is it means we're getting the best products because y'all are fighting against each other for our dollars. They're not concerned with just one company's success.
We talking overall success of the entire country because they looking at it again as the economy, as capitalism, capital C, not just are you doing all right? We mean the whole country. So the whole country got to win, which means that I don't really care if your one your one company is doing all right. We need a whole thing to work in theory because you could go get the off brand stuff.
You grew up like us. Oh, man, there was Cheerios and then there was Malto meal. There was Tasty O's. You feel me? I was like them is nasty. I used to get so mad when my mom brought that off brand cereal. I wanted the name brand cereal. It was cheaper. But but they like that ain't work. Now, what that meant was that made Cheerios because my mom sometimes was like, I ain't buying the Cheerios.
It costs too much. So that means the Cheerios, because there's such thing as malto meal and tastiest fruit rings, not fruit loops. Because those things existed, that meant that like, yo, Cheerios got to work harder to make sure that their products stay bomb. And at the price point is something that we willing to pay. That's why there's a hundred different car companies.
Why they fighting for our attention? Why everybody racing to get an electric car? Like the thing with Tesla is they was just there first. Well, actually, Saturn was there first. You should see a documentary called Who Killed the Electric Car? Anyway, but they're not the only ones. They couldn't get to electric cars, shut the door. There's companies like Rivian, who, their trucks are amazing.
But there's other companies. There are other people making electric cars. So it's like, yo. Get your weight up. Do something great. Now, it could become a monopoly if they do this. They take all the road mapping that they've done with their self-driving, get it perfect, and then make sure every new electric car has to buy their software for the road mapping of self-driving.
If every new electric car had Tesla's software in there from for their like self-driving cars, which right now would be a disaster. But if they continue to develop what they got and then they box out everybody else, it wouldn't matter if it's a disaster or not because every car comes equipped with their software. That would be a monopoly.
To which they could argue, I mean, you're welcome to uninstall it and put your own one in there. Do you know how to uninstall software on your car? Are you going to Google it? Think about the dial-up modem sounds, your AIM username. We all got sidekicks. No, I don't even know if we got sidekicks. We was in pagers there. You know what I'm saying? You about to have a sidekick.
