Again, government is the problem here, always has been. Also, you can't point to a business or area of the economy that has been regulated heavy for years, then... deregulate it and point to the problems that come about as if it was the lack of regulation that caused it. It is the regulation that caused the problem and the problems you see immediately upon removal is the result of those regulations. In time, things will righten itself as the market has time to adjust and allow for new competition to evolve.

Nobody is saying there shouldn't be penalties for businesses that violate the liberties of another, but government has no clue about what is best in business and what is best for the people so these regulations often harm the industry and the individual.

Government needs to stop nannying the people and people who think they need a nanny should move to a country that views its people as subjects, not sovereign individuals who are expected to be responsible for themselves.
Sub primed mortgage showed what happens when you let the private market have too power. However, public vs private is just merely useful human constructs we use to try and guide our actions. Humans are the problem, not government or free markets but humans.

No, I don't mean your excuses, I mean a real reason. Look up the definition for excuse and then look up the definition for reason and you will see a difference.

But let's just Play a little game because it's late Sunday night and I need a little more amusement before I go to bed. What is this marketable not job skill you have but you can't use because of impaired property?

Are you a world class diver but your landlord doesn't provide a swimming pool and high dive for so you can't market that non-job skill? Something like that?

You sound like the kind of guy that would be shining my shoes and staving half to death if the market was truly deregulated. I can't make heads nor tails of what in the hell you just said.

Fair trade is a logically approach to trading with countries and special interest groups here and abroad that can buy unfair trade deals. There is no doubt that our so called free trade agreements have failed. Vast areas of America have been destroyed economically due to those failed "free trade" agreements. The huge trillion dollar trade imbalance going back decades are real numbers. Why should the USA give away it's hard earned lifestyle for cheap goods built by slave labor? Remember, more than one war was started over trade.

My internet access is impaired because the person to whom I pay rent controls the internet access and his internet access is restricted and monitored because he did something bad.

A non-job skill is a skill that real people perform in order to earn real money, but is a skill that will not get you hired by an employer.

Ever watch American Pickers? Two guys who travel around the country in a van searching for antiques they can buy low and flip for profit.

Since they do it for a living, it is clearly a skill, but I've never heard of an employer looking to hire people to do this type of work as employees.

In general, a skill which allows one to be self-employed and earning a self-sufficient living, but is not in demand by employers, is a non-job skill.

Right now there are thousands of people making a living re-selling on eBay, that qualifies as a skill.

Yep. China is losing manufacturing to lower cost SE Asian countries and Mexico (a country with a lot of free trade deals and geographically positioned very well). China is losing the demographics battle and is losing workers to automation. China's state owned companies own a lot of toxic debt as they care more about employment than profits per their central government decree.
