The lack of competition can be dangerous. Even to national security.




The law of supply and demand plays a key role in capitalism. Capitalism guarantees competition. And competition guarantees quality. That’s how people justify capitalism. The main argument in those cases is that competition guarantees quality. But in some cases, we must ask. Is competition. Some kind of fata morgana? There is a possibility that a single person owns company clusters, and those clusters of companies look like. Technically separated, but acting under one command. It can form a monopoly that authorities cannot recognize. 

The problem with ultimate capitalism is that only people who have money can get an education. This happens. When the capitalistic ideology. Goes so far. That other than basic education is for a fee. This causes a situation. There are people who own companies starting to sit around the same tables. With people who should monitor those companies. This means higher education. Those educations are required. For the high-ranking governmental positions, as well as in the head of the multinational corporations. 

Accumulates in the same families. In the worst cases, legislative, executive, and financial and economic power accumulates in the hands of the same people. Politicians require financial support for their campaigns. They need marketing space and people who support them. So, if some financial leaders promise things like factories in the same political area, if some politicians are elected, that thing can guarantee votes. 


This means that people who have a lot of money and a lot of business. It can offer many things to people. When business life accumulates in the same hands. That means the competition can be lost. That can cause a similar effect to a socialist system. There was no competition. Made to products. Made in the Soviet Union. In capitalism. The same person can own multiple companies. There is a possibility that some production sectors can accumulate. In the hands of the same person. 

Those things called monopolies are often denied by governments. There are competition authorities whose mission is to deny monopolies. But it's possible to own multiple companies that are separate on paper. But nothing denies that the same person can own multiple, technically separated companies. Those ownerships can be done over a chain of companies. If these companies are listed in many countries. That can cover the monopoly. Another interesting thing is cases where makers of products. 

Only governments have access to buy make fusions. That means that. There will be a lack of competition. In that case. When the government buys some jet fighters. They need something where they can make a selection. In the worst case, there is only one offender. And in this case, there are no competitors. There are no dogfight simulation opponents. That should guarantee the quality of those products. There is a possibility that the same people who offer those products. 

These are the same people who accept those products. There is a possibility that people who own things. Like banks will own multiple companies through that bank. Another way. To make of this operation. It is simple. To establish an investment company. Those investment companies can buy stocks. And one version. It is to eliminate. A competitor is to buy the majority of the competitor’s stock. That means. The company can buy its competitor. Away from the market. This is one of the things. That has an effect on national security. Lack of competitors. Makes it hard to test systems. And there is a possibility. That some unqualified system passes the screen. If it will not be tested against its competitor.

Motivation is a way to use psychology.




Kimmo Huosionmaa

Companies want to hire highly motivated persons and the way of motivating is an important thing in the process. It's interesting to know about the process, what makes a person obligate in the job and company, what offers the position to show the skills. This is one very good psychological method to make young and dynamic person interest about the job in some company. "Come to show your claws" is very good and striking slogan in the job advertisement.

 The thing about the group interview is to make competition between the applicants, and also show the things, like how the person acts in the case, where the competition is extremely hard. And this interview method is used to show the applicants, that the place is very wanted. When we are thinking about the jobs and careers, we must realize, that the employer has their own interests in the case, and it's not the same, who would come to the workplace. Many times the organization would give sometimes very expensive training for those people, who are coming to work in the company, and of course, those employers want, that the workers would stay in their firm.

If a person comes to the company and then starts to look for the new job, that causes costs for that firm. And at the same time, there is one thing, what the people don't normally think. If some employee would be invaluable, that would cause the costs for the company, if the employee would find out that thing. If some process in the production depends on the personal skills and will of some employee, would the benefit for the company, that this employee would not know about it.

When we are thinking about the process, what mission is to make the employee obligation to the company, one of the most effective ways is to let that person know, that there were hundreds of the applications for the position, what makes this thing very motivated. The motivation would base to the fear, that if the works are not made correctly, the next person is waiting behind the door for taking the job.

And if there were 180 persons, who were interviewed would that feel good in the mind of the person, who was hired. This makes good for self-esteem, that there were even hundreds of the interviewed, and this employee is the person, who was hired. And it would make person first proud, but then in the mind would come the fear, what if this person causes disappointment for the persons, who were hired for the position. Here I don't talk about any specific workplace, and this text is meant for the common thoughts for the job-seekers and persons, who want to know about the psychology of the motivation processes.

In the world of competition is no altruism


Kimmo Huosionmaa

Let's think about race, and the prize is high. The next person, who takes the part of the race would give you the drink, do you really take it? This is the really interesting thing because if some person is the competitor, we should ask: why this person wants to help us? The answer would be very different than we hope. That person can give us narcotics with that drink, and that would make the disqualification for us.


The same rule can be used in every social situation in the world. If we meet some nice looking man or woman and want to date with that person, we must worry if the person who introduces that man or woman would be the spouse of the introduced person. If the husband or wife are making dates for their spouse, there is something wrong. And if the best recommendations come from the worst competitor, we should think, why this company wants to increase our business?


And if we are looking for the job, we should ask ourselves, why other unemployed people would want us to help us to look for the dream job?  They are also competitors in that process, and the thing, that they would give the telephone number for some other unemployed person could be something, what we don't want to happen. That number can be given for collecting the phone numbers from persons, who are unemployed. And then those phone numbers would give to some telephone marketing companies.

Those phone numbers can cost the home for those people if they order stuff from those telephones. If they are ordering the stuff, there would be change, that persons cannot pay those merchandise. And then the flat must be sold if there is no change to pay the ordered things. Also, those phone numbers might be given for collecting the social relationships from the unemployed people.


If we don't worry about that kind of offers, they can get them to some pyramid hoax ring, where the investors say, that if you would give the money in that organization, that would bring good profits. But in some cases, money just is lost, and the center persons would get good money from the persons, who have given their property in those businesses, what are controlled from some ex-eastern block states.  And this makes the police actions difficult. If this kind of thing is suspected the police report must be made immediately if that thing is noticed.
