No one said anything about central planning, that's another red herring, akin to the buggy-whip argument. It's quite likley that your nonsensical message traveled to FR over equipment my employer builds (or used to build, when it moves offshore). I guess you would rather the Red Chinese build the systems on which you depend. Or perhaps intelligent individuals like myself could be herded into labor camps to increase the bonuses and stock portfolios of our corporate overlords
