Supreme Corp. will be working with Aegis for our release drops. Proud to be a client.

I would like to speak with you further about this. Check PM.

As someone who is thinking about opening a clothing line, I'm scared that another person is just going to copy my design and release his own crappy T-shirts for half the price. Is there anyway we can "trademark" clothing logos, and other brands? Thanks!

Will the prize pool money be crowd funded through bets? So for example, the winning boxer gets 50% of the bets and the other 50% returns to those who bet on the winning fighter? @Mastahakill

Hey! Welcome to Identity

Sure! Go ahead and shoot me a PM about what you're interested in learning about. I'm not the most knowledgeable guy in the world, but I can at least help you get a basic understanding of the functions of modern business.

I was thinking more about the business section. Running a boxing league is in fact a business, and it might get more eyes there.

Thanks for having an honest and open discussion! It's hard to have one of those these days

Even if a particular product is produced in bulk and is priced at $5000, if there's a consumer demand for that product and the consumer base is willing to purchase at that price (hypothetical), then what is the problem with this? It's a consensual business transaction between two people. Are you advocating to essentially put a gun to a businessman's head and force him to price his products at a certain price range? There should be no need for this. The product will price itself through the market demand. Also, FYI it's highly unlikely that anyone would be willing to pay $5000 for your typical Fruit of the Looms T-Shirt because of consumer market demand so I don't see a reason why you feel the need to have such a regulation in place for mass-bulk products. It seems so pointless. And on top of that, on a philosophical scale, it can be found as pretty disgusting to many people who believe in the most basic principles of individual liberty.

Is it really ridiculous? If it's a limited edition piece, that is a legendary clothing collaboration between two companies that have had major differences over the years and they release something of the sort and price it at $5000, with many people very much WILLING to pay $5000 for that piece, is it really ridiculous? I am very unsettled by the idea that the government can control what is accepted as "ridiculous" or not, even if the consumer base thinks entirely differently. What is a "ridiculous" price is decided by the person BUYING the item. The government should have absolutely ZERO business in a consensual transaction between two people.

Then please explain further what you mean by the following: Raising the price to market demand IS in essence, responding to free market forces. Customer demand and willingness to buy at a certain price IS a free market force.

So essentially, you're putting an end to high-end clothing and fashion that's of limited quantity. You're conflating current government policy of industry monopoly with individual company. What you're planning to do is perfectly okay for industry monopoly, but NOT for an individual privately owned company. You can't regulate the price of my Supreme T-Shirt just because somebody can't buy the same T-shirt elsewhere. That's our property, and we can sell the product at the price that the market demands. Having the ownership to sell a particular T-Shirt does not equate to having monopoly over an industry by any means. Somebody can go by a T-Shirt somewhere else.. they don't have to buy MY T-Shirt. Let's say for instance, that my company only releases in limited supply, and we release 20 stock of a particular clothing of a particular size, at $1000 dollars a piece (not to say that this is what my company will do, but just as example). Is this ridiculous in the eyes of the government? If there's a market demand for this piece of clothing, then why can't the organization put the price to what the customer is willing to pay? Prices are due to change dependent upon the willingness of the customer base, NOT the government. If you're going to continue down the anti-free market position, I can't find myself supporting you unfortunately. It's the market that determines prices and wage, NOT the government. If you place fictitious price and wage regulations, it will saturate the market and destroy the economy.

So even if the business is failing into the ground with its current business plan, it couldn't switch it's direction without the consent of the state??

@ThomasHetch What will you do in terms of protecting the intellectual property of the companies on Identity? Will you introduce laws that allow companies to trademark their designs and logos to help keep the integrity of small and large businesses? These businesses will surely be an integral part of our economy, so it would be wise to help protect these businesses from destroying each other.

However, you have stated something differently here: Here, you state that the government regulates a businesses's production, and on top of that you state that businesses cannot respond to the free market.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. Eh, whatever.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up. However, I seem to have run into another concern. In your post, you clearly are against the free market. Will you allow businesses to control their stock, and prices for their products? As my clothing line is a high-end brand, your apparent position on this is worrying at the least.

Good to hear! So far, I can say you have my support. However, I do have one concern. Do you think it's deterring people from becoming business-owners when you put a 10% tax on income, but then ANOTHER 10% on business revenue? It seems like you are essentially placing a 20% tax on business-owners, and a 10% tax on everyone else.
