Yuyutsu,
Would it surprise you very much if I told you that genrations before them had it done & did it.
The majority of adults were babies once you know !

J.K.J. Comparing being required to vote, with being caged and raped is so far over the top, as to be just dismissed and with the contempt such a comparison simply deserves!
Nor am I less economically astute than someone who thinks that already thoroughly discredited and disgraced, right wing trickle down economic model is gospel.
And yes, extreme capital is exploitative!
Albeit, as a former businessman, I'm all for private enterprise.
And private enterprise that focuses on providing service first and foremost, usually is more successful over the longer term!
Ditto one that focuses on volume and not simply margins; which usually are counterproductive and just drive the customer base to the opposition!
And given nearly all business pays for cash cow essential service, the lowest costing model, remains my first choice!
And as thoroughly as one can search the globe, one can't find a single example, where essential service privatization has produced a lower cost to the consumer; and most businesses are essential service consumers!
Every western style economy, rests on just two support pillars, energy and capital.
And making either of those more expensive, via private ownership and or massive market altering speculation, has clearly harmed most western economies.
We who have a plethora of energy options, are fools living in a fools paradise, just by importing product at huge and rising cost, when we have far cheaper local options!
In fact, when it comes to economic theory, I think one needs to work this stuff out for themselves, rather than have someone else decide how or what they should think.
We who didn't deregulate to the same degree as wall street didn't share very much of the GFC, but in fact we were the envy of the world, given its impact on the local economy.
And neither were we hurt as badly by the 64 trillions worth of worthless derivatives; wall street flooded the world with!
And only able to do so, due to the fact, they just weren't regulated sufficiently, but rather, were like Dracula, being handed the keys of the blood bank!

So voting is not compulsory after all? Or the enforcement doesn’t extend to imprisonment? Or no-one’s ever been raped in jail?

Which untruth are you contending for?

Look the idea that government decision-making is more representative of the consumer, than the consumer, is just laughable stupidity, you haven’t given any reason to think otherwise, and that’s the end of the matter.

The rest of your post is just garbled self-contradiction and arbitrary moralising. Your seeking low cost is “extreme capitalism”, and your nutty idea that the government has some kind of presumptive competence in managing the money supply has no basis in evidence or reason.

Let's cut to the chase. In the final analysis, you're arguing that people should be imprisoned for accepting guests into their home, and for giving other people a lift. Why?

Dear Rhrosty,

<<J.K.J. Comparing being required to vote, with being caged and raped is so far over the top, as to be just dismissed and with the contempt such a comparison simply deserves!>>

A man asked a woman:

M. "Would you sleep with a man who offered you a million dollars?".
W. "Of course!".
M. "Would you sleep with someone who offered you $100?".
W. "Now what do you think I am, you pig!?"
M. "What you are, we already established, now we are only negotiating the price."

An institution which makes it a crime to remain at home, in bed, prosecuting people for not getting out to a certain place on a certain day, such an institution could well force our children into the army, into years of slavery, bullying, humiliation, possible death or loss of limb on the battlefield and/or unconscionable actions.

If you consider this exaggerated, then take notice that this same institution already also forces innocent people at random to a month of slavery as jurists, denying them the freedom to be where they want and do where they want. The penalties for disobeying their orders is significantly higher than the penalties for failing to vote. What stops this from deteriorating into full-on conscription? It's all the same, only the price...
