Did you even follow my link? Do you think there is an industry term for a phenomenon that never actually happens? That's an interesting position to take. *sigh* .. it's frustrating talking to libertarians sometimes because you fundamentally don't see the problem. You think every problem is a nail, so you always reach for your hammer.
Take a hypothetical situation. I'm Apple. I want to sell iPhones--that's my business. You might think the more iPhones I sell, the more money I make, right? Wrong. In this parallel universe, there are A-type people and B-type people. If I can identify B-type people as they enter my Apple stores and kick their asses out before they can so much as look at an iPhone, I make more money. I don't want to sell the most iPhones. I just want to sell to A-types. The better I am at kicking out B-types, the more money I make--I can even sell iPhones more cheaply to the A-types this way! I can even add new features to the iPhones and keep prices low by restricting my sales to A-types only!
Fucking weird-ass situation, huh? But goddamn if the A-types don't love it...and my investors love it...and I love it. The B-types fucking hate it though, but who gives a damn about them. Not me. Unlike representative governments which ostensibly care about the well-being of all, I don't have an obligation to care about them. I'm just here to make the most money.
