Really.  I know you guzzle a lot of free market cock, but even you have to see the concerns of the stability of the market resting upon automated trading that bypasses human interaction.
Somebody sends a LOL WHITE HAUS BOMBED HNIC HURTED tweet, and the market drops 150 points?  And the selloff in 2010 over the Citigroup assmonkey's error to forget to carry the 1?   

C'mon.  Even the Invisible Hand can't be jerking you off that well.

IT WAS 150 POINTS ON A 15,000 POINT INDEX.

And the iceberg's gash was 300 feet on 46,000 tons of displacement.

[Admiral Yi]

How many tons was the gash and how many feet did it displace?

And you're overlooking one fundamental difference: the market corrected when new information was recieved.  The Titanic sank.

It'll all fall part soon enough.  Nobody learned their lessons from 2008. 

Just wait until Skynet goes live, and decides to melt the economy on its own.

[Admiral Yi]

Of course it will all fall apart.  It's propped up by cheap money, which won't last forever.

What does that prove?  The need for a Soviet style command economy and property expropriation?

Looks like tomorrow I'll have to ask my younger, attractive neighbour, how she wants her bush cut.

Seedy is getting a little nutty on the market thing.

I knew there was a reason I had an erection.

[Admiral Yi]

Ide, do you seriously and honestly think a command economy is the way to go?

[Ideologue]

In some sectors--healthcare, energy, education, and perhaps banking--yes.

I have no desire to see local Subways owned by the government.

[Ideologue]

Indeed, the list of sectors that should be nationalized for the public good is almost coterminous with the list of sectors that have completely and probably irrevocably failed, and which only nationalization can save.

The counterargument is that these are all sectors which have received massive public support and are distorted because of it--on the other hand, they are absolutely key to our quality of life and economy, and permitting a true free market would mean enormous human misery and waste.  Since hybridization leads to equally bad or even worse outcomes, then, nationalization is the only viable alternative.
