In Korea Pepsi is …
In Korea Pepsi is cheaper then Coke, there is actually a 35 cent difference (which is 35% price difference) Coke is more established in Korea, thus the price difference (assuming your logic)

I didn’t say it was evil, I just said it results in less capital investment that creates real wealth.

Crypto-WN Crypto-Statist AHAHAHAH! Everything sounds way more serious and ominous when you add “Crypto” to it! I have to start using that more often.

My friend Aaron is a Crypto-Rimjobist!

For sure. I do that …
For sure. I do that with a lot of things if I can. The quality is usually the same. There are SOME instances where having a large company provide the product is advantageous. For example I wouldn’t tell my grandparents to buy computer parts and then emble the machine themselves, because DELL will do all that for them and provide them with tech support, even if it is a lot more expensive.

I named my sons …
I named my sons Archon and Archon II in the hopes that they will live up to their names and perpetuate the Dynasty that I am creating. Please don’t let to many people know what cryptically lies beneith the sacred word. I could possibly end up having to rename my sons and drinking walmart brand soda. Think before you act and remember every action has a reaction.

Nope. That’s why I find this thorny. All I can really say is “buy generic”.

Did you not …
Did you not understand what I meant by the word as I was using it?

Yes, I am using the word in a different sense. You can do a google search for archon and find definitions ranging from one of the nine chief magistrates in ancient athens to just ruler. An archon of the mind, a ruler of the mind.

Smaller buisnesses …
Smaller buisnesses might need advertising to get off the ground. To get an initial customer base. It is kinda annoying to see large corperations like coca-cola advertise when they are one of the most recognized name brands out there. It makes me wonder how much I would be paying if they weren’t trying to sell me something I was already going to buy. Of course these companies don’t really have the most efficient allocation of resources for society in mind when they operate, but that is OK IMO.
