Most economists don't understand economics.
Invasive is like when the White beast went to the western hemisphere. Or how Muslim rapefugees are currently colonizing Europe.
On the other hand, a business exists to supply a demand. Most businesses have an incredibly positive influence wherever they operate because they're providng what people want. However, there is also demand for things like murder, obscenity, drugs, alcohol and tobacco. All governments should work towards decreasing the demand for such things and making it more difficult for those willing to supply them.

I think it would be easier to know what we are talking about if you told us what somebody from Melbourne did home and repeated here that you are philosophizing about.

Melbourne, Sydney, Rio, London, Johannesburg. Do you not have the ability to link together components yourself?

You asked how invasive it is to copy a business. I respond that I don't think it is. Then I'm not computing it correctly because of facts and figures.
Everybody who responded to the thread are talking about business and economics, you say that it's not about business and economics but about philosophy. Maybe it is not me who has a hard time understanding what you mean but you who are not expressing yourself so I and others can understand you.
Let's start over?

fair point about it being me not expressing myself clearly for others to understand.
I'll get back to the thread when i have the energy to care to express myself so others understand me (I've become accustomed to people not being on the same wave length as me... and I mostly can't be bothered if no one else gets it from the outset).
pfffft. end of thread

LTO said this about hipster places in some anti - hipster thread, I copied it at the time and kept it in a note taking app.
Maybe what you are on about?
[quote/]I don't have much to say about hipsters, but over the last few years I have taken notice of these sorts of end of the road enclaves set up by young barang - away from the locals, employing and caterng exclusively to other young foreigners, exploiting loose law enforcement and employment regulation to the max, creating places, boutique hostels and little drug havens and such, where the locals would never go or understand. To varying degrees, upriver Kampot, behind Kep market, down certain lanes in Siem Reap, Otres River Village, etc. it seems categoricaly different than travelers, backpackers, expats and sexpats of the past that, in so far as they were taking advantage of the local situation, tended to be within the context of what was already being offered and done by the locals - cheap guesthouses and hotels run by locals, freely available drugs like ganja that were part of the local culture, brothels and variations on local clubs, etc. There does seem this trend now to get away/separate from the locals and just exploit the loose legal environment in an exclusive and western/international sort of way. It doesn't even seem to be about which country you are in anymore.

This happens as Cambodia has become comfortable enough for these types of individuals to enter the market. Even still I am rather confident you won't find them in Prey Veng or Oddar Meanchey. For better or for worse that is the order of things as a country burps and bumps its way towards white picket fences and dreams of a stable job with the bank.
There will always be places for the adventurous, we humans have a wonderful capacity for causing grief on a large scale. I dare say the bars in Juba and Pyongyang are pretty crazy places to be in at the moment.

I hate it when previously undeveloped places get decent roads to get you there and guesthouses to stay in and restaurants and stores and and reliable power supplies and capable health care systems. All that stuff really sucks and is like....so boringly WESTERN and shit. Oh my, what an existential crisis!
How come the ones who bemoan "hipsters" and corporate coffee shops and Burger King, etc. can usually be found hanging out almost exclusively on the riverside and in the likes of Garage Bar and such?
