However, they and the other brokerages are so married to the State to the detriment of new competitors that it's completely unreasonable
Robinhood IS the new competitor. They navigated federal regulations and became successful because of the Almighty Market.
But to be clear, you now support The State regulating a private business? Seems kinda statist to me.
Using your logic, that one cannot hold anyone accountable to libertarian ideals because of the unfair conditions of the market, then what's the point of libertarianism? This is the pacifism of the ideology I don't like. Libertarians just want to be the person saying "I told you so" as the world burns. I want to prevent the world from burning. Fundamental difference.
And when it comes to a private company doing something wrong, I don't need to play logic games about the unfair conditions to justify my beliefs. There are universal truths. There is wrong and right. I wouldn't support this under fair or unfair market conditions.
How about the baker? The market is unfair, so by your logic the State can force the baker to bake a gay cake, right?
I do enjoy the philosophical discussion. Not enough of it.
And? What if you don't use them? Or is the problem the regulations in place that you have to go through some sort of middle man like Robinhood to be able to purchase it?
Cause apparently India, who doesn't use them, just bought up the stocks.
Gotta use some kind of trading platform and a bunch of them have halted trading. Not all but most of the popular ones. You could maybe try the old fashioned way of calling up Gamestop corporate offices trying to buy direct, but I have a feeling they won't answer right now.
You literally have to support Robinhood shutting down trading. The fairness or unfairness of the overall stock market has no bearing on this.
