Oh okay gotcha. Thanks a lot for spelling it out for me (not sarcasm). I honestly just was confused about the jargon. I watched that one documentary on Thatcher, it seems like that's exactly what her policies did and it earned lots of her high-class friends a lot of money at the expense of the citizens. It seems like I sat through the whole thing without absorbing that one word.
I feel like I have to defend myself a bit and say that it's not that I'm not into politics, it's just that I'm not into the flame-war, pick-a-side, bash the other party sort of politics. I vote in every election and I have a very nuanced view of most issues.
I agree with your analysis on why the free market would not be able to self-regulate in this case. It's funny because I myself have launched a food complaint with the BC admin before, and yeah let's just say the company never would have fixed it themselves in the free market.
I just want to say that as a non-native speaker, the word "liberal" has taken on and been used in so many forms that you can't quite infer the meaning in a lot of cases.
Agreed. Especially in Canada where we have a Liberal party it's quite annoying!
"Liberal" party.
