Markets will surely do

A bit a of a straw man here, I know. Inspired by the recent debates about the commercial use of space and how it makes scientists worried about pollution and environmental degradation

A free market self regulates for nothing but profit
- And to kill competition, which helps with profit
"but muh free market" mfrs when I break their kneecaps and their McInsurance doesn't cover it:
- No problem, I'll start my own insurance company!
  
  I assume you have tens of millions of dollars in capital? (Too bad that was the medical bill to your McHospital and now you're in debt)
  
  With Blackjack and Hookers
- Free market does not mean zero regulation...
The market will regulate the market.
Promise!
when u realize there is mostly empty space between nukleus an electron shell
- You may own your floor boards yes – wooden planks, formed by countless strands of molecules, though which themselves consist of nothing but nuclei and electrons –
  I, however, have aquired exclusive rights to all of the vast real estate found inbetween those puny particles and I shall develop it into trendy nano-lofts and studios!
I honestly can't wait until we get to the point that large corporations own certain parts of space and make it so you have to pay to travel past those parts if affordable and easy space travel for the masses ever becomes reality. Can't wait until they blot out every single star and replace them with an ad for a product you can't afford. Can't wait for them to replace the sun and moon with ads for space travel, now for the low cost of only 300 centuries worth of your salary!

  This one's pretty close.
Wall-E summed it up well.
There's no such thing as a free market
- You clearly have no idea what goes on at your mother's house.
  
  She uses tweezers and a microscope to jack off idiots like you.
Space mining asteroids will tickle down eventually
- Breaking news a 9km asteroid has just hit the earth, experts warn we may go extinct
  
  Approx. 98 football fields, for the Americans
  
  Easy solution: Don't look up!
Yeaaa, only the beurocrats really know how to run things
- It's spelled bureaucrat
  
  Yeah those aristocats in the EU parliament "regulating"the flee market.
  
  XD
- I'd rather have a bureaucrat pick bad rules than let Elon make even worse rules.
Lemmy is all about making strawman arguments!
- I knew I was in the right place
Me, I prefer my public healthcare that I pay for, that mainly tells me to fuck off when I need something, but happily pays for the same thing for women, because that's more equal.
- For the last time no you can't have an abortion.
- Cool, great job choosing to be born in Europe.
- Aw, I’m sorry no one wants to fuck you
