    Yes? It’s that obvious? What percentage of the population knows how the animals they consume are raised and slaughtered, or that it’s illegal to show them? What percentage knows that in many other nations, the burger flipping jobs the U.S. loves to debate do pay better, and yet the food is cheaper? What percentage is aware that many European nations simply do not allow large corporations like Google and Facebook to “own” your data, and that they do not have some sort of inherent right to it? All of these things are legal—passing laws to hide information you don’t like, having no obligation to pay livable wages or provide healthcare, lining your pockets with money nobody else knew you could just… take. Seems like a system in which these actions weren’t both legal and highly rewarded could, you know, put more of the cards on the table.

      I asked you what would be different under your preferred alternative to capitalism and you’ve responded with policy from other capitalist nations. Perhaps the ideas you have presented are not solutions to capitalisms failings but instead just good ideas that can coexist within a capitalist society. I’m really not sure I understand your point but feel free to clarify if you’d like to continue the discussion.

        It’s almost like capitalism just means that people exchange money for goods and goods for money and everything else is up to people to decide.

          Chiming in to a conversation with a weak point, just to have no one respond to you.

          No wonder you haven’t made so many comments today. This poor troll is starving because he’s having a hard time getting people to take the bait. Anyway, see you tomorrow buddy. I hope for your sake you do better next time

              It must kill you that I have a laugh about you to the people you argue with here. Hey man, no one is making you respond with all these little love letters to me

                  Proud of that word? It’s cute how you keep using it like it means something.

                  Anyway, keep validating me by responding. Every single time you do, it’s like a little chirp proving that you can’t help yourself.

                  I hope you’re having as much fun as I am.

                    Ghoulphrenia is a condition that you suffer from, it’s normal for a ghoulphrenia victim to not be aware of it.
