You haven't owned a thing since you started you spreading your shit around this forum you diarrhea gargling moron.

Your overblown sense of importance is only matched by Craig. You think you have a clue, which is hilarious.

I own the hell out of you because you just type whatever garbage that fits your own personal agenda whereas i backup my posts with facts and logic that completely obliterates you. You get embarrassed talking about topics meant for adults, perhaps there should be a dedicated Pokemon forum here at AT for you to post in. That's more your speed. Notice how you can't even refer back to the argument at hand because you've been shamed to hell? Lemme give you a refresher:

"Government mandates to government sponsored monopolies only ends up with mediocre prices for bad service." <--- You

"In economics, a natural monopoly occurs when, due to the economies of scale of a particular industry, the maximum efficiency of production and distribution is realized through a single supplier." <--- Me

Take a fucking seat, son ----> \__

You got nothing because you can produce a rebuttal based on facts.

^- you being owned. Take a seat \__

That's not a fact. Do you know what facts are? Facts would show that those monopolies are in fact at maximum efficiency and that no further efficiency could be gained through competition. Cutting and pasting abstract concepts from Wikipedia is not a fact.

I guess you missed this part.

Historical example

Such a process happened in the water industry in nineteenth century Britain. Up until the mid-nineteenth century, Parliament discouraged municipal involvement in water supply; in 1851, private companies had 60% of the market. Competition amongst the companies in larger industrial towns lowered profit margins, as companies were less able to charge a sufficient price for installation of networks in new areas. In areas with direct competition (with two sets of mains), usually at the edge of companies' territories, profit margins were lowest of all. Such situations resulted in higher costs and lower efficiency, as two networks, neither used to capacity, were used. With a limited number of households that could afford their services, expansion of networks slowed, and many companies were barely profitable. With a lack of water and sanitation claiming thousands of lives in periodic epidemics, municipalisation proceeded rapidly after 1860, and it was municipalities which were able to raise the finance for investment which private companies in many cases could not. A few well-run private companies which worked together with their local towns and cities (gaining legal monopolies and thereby the financial security to invest as required) did survive, providing around 20% of the population with water even today. The rest of the water industry in England and Wales was reprivatised in the form of 10 regional monopolies in 1989.


You're a fucking moron, in utility industries like water and electricity where fixed capital costs are extraordinarily high it's always better to have monopolies (that are regulated) because of "economies of scale" (ever heard of that, dumbass)? The more firms you have, the smaller the economies of scale you have, thus the less efficiency you have, idiot.

Take a fucking seat son \__

Yeah it's a 'copy/paste' job, but i've known what a 'natural monopoly' and what it's consequences are for years (considering i do finance for a corporation that has high fixed costs, i should know), whereas you're an ignorant retard who got completely fucking owned because he didn't understand the concept.

But keep mocking me with your parody of my .txt posts, because that's all you have. YOU. CAN'T. COMPETE. WITH. ME.

Keep posting, i love watching you dig a hole for yourself.
