"RonH, most of what you write reveals that you are not ginpsrag my position or argument..."That's quite possible, as your positions are naive, and indicate your lack of actual education and knowledge of the subjects you are attempting to discuss.Your arguments aren't really arguments, but restatements of slogans and simple narratives you have read somewhere, that have little relevance in the real world."Economic efficiency...""In my view this is incomplete."That, my boy, is the textbook definition of economic efficiency. It isn't dependent on any particular ideology or view, but is universally understood. If you don't get it, that's your problem. If you wish to discuss social efficiency or political efficiency or something else, you need to say so, but if you wish to discuss economics efficiency, you need to understand that definition."You can be really efficient at producing a battleship, which is built great and immediately sunk in warfare. But a more efficient system is one that prevents the war in the first place."But, that is not economic efficiency, as it doesn't maximize satisfaction of wants. Building a battleship and sinking it is no more efficient than digging holes and filling them back in. It doesn't matter how good you are at it, consumers don't benefit from that action. Government spending is most often the very opposite of efficient. The more government spending is part of an economy, the poorer the people are. Once again, you are finding a problem with government, which I don't defend. "So suppose I'm really efficient at making heroine. "A female hero? I will take a wild guess that you really mean the illegal drug heroin.That means you can make the most usable product with the least input."Suppose I'm good at marketing and people think they want heroine."OK, but people either want things or they don't. Few "think" they do. "I guess if they buy it then it must be in their rational interest to buy it."I guess so. I think people believe they are acting rationally. "That's efficient in your view, but not mine."Efficiency refers to production. The usefulness of a product is called it's utility, which is a subjective value.Learn some economics."No government interference is acceptable, and there is none. Do you actually read what I write? Or just draw your own conclusions?""In the US there would be government intervention. The US government would nullify the contract. But you are saying you would object to that, right? The government should not intervene."Let's think about that. How would the US government nullify the contract. You are misusing words again, and . Try harder to make sense so others can understand your meaning..Here's the thing. The US government, and I assume you mean some court, has no clue the contract exists unless and until Mr, Water-Owner goes files suit in an attempt to enforce his contract, after I refuse to honer it. You have already pointed out that the court would dismiss the suit on grounds of the contract being unconscionable. Do you think Mr. W-O isn't aware of that? So no, there is no government interference unless Mr, W-O asks for some, in which case he still won't get what he expects from the transaction.With or without government, the contract isn't enforceable.In your silly scenario I will get what I want, and Mr. WO won't. It isn't a legitimate contract.As I explained to you, I will do anything to save my family, including signing a ridiculous contract I have no intention of honoring.See if you can figure out why that is.
