A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have run into many people making that claim.

Online, offline, politicians, etc.

And on the free market isnt sorting itself out - the claim is usually that the gubment is still not letting the market be free enough. That's usually the claim, for example, from all the right-wingers I know for when they get cornered on why health care costs are 1000% ridiculous.
