I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[vantexan]

profits does not mean efficient. nor does capitalism.

capitalists externalize alot of the costs. capitalists ship things 1000s of miles to take advantage of low wages or whatever. capitalists have us owning things which we only use 5% or less of the time, and buying things we dont need. this is not efficiency

war is peace. freedom is slavery...

ive listened to alot of economists. enough to know that if u want to learn econ you dont take a course in it LOL

Um, professional economists get degrees in it. And who exactly is holding a gun to your heading making you buy stuff you don't need?

Then how can you say something is broken or wrong if you don’t know how to fix it. Again, you are touting something you know nothing about. Financing is an option if you choose.
