Apparently, free market accountability has its limitations.


Shorter Jarrett Plonka: "Speaking as a conservative, isn't it terrific how the free market works? The fierce rivalry, the intense competition, the parry and thrust of capitalism where the strong survive, the weak fail and success always goes to those who can produce the better product and demonstrate a clear and unambiguous superiority over others in their industry. What a relief that government doesn't work that way."

Yes, technically, that was actually longer, but the build-up was worth it, don't you think?

Let's talk about free market accountability producing a "better product" ... after taking a long look at Microsoft Windows.

Today's Dilbert helps explain why this little myth about the free-market fairy is risible.
