    What a surprise, capitalists can’t keep making more money quarter after quarter so instead they just rack up the prices for no reason other than the c-suite wants more bonus money.

    Fucking PATHETIC and reprehensible

        Love how everyone’s argument for capitalism is just ‘well communism sucks too’.

        Good job regurgitating half a century’s worth of propaganda, no one mentioned communism and there’s more than just 2 ways to run q society

          How about making fair regulations to stop corporations from abusing capitalism instead of forcing communism on everyone?

          I was born and have lived in a communist country. It doesn’t “suck too”, it gets you killed. Good job regurgitating garbage tired internet arguments.

              Except there are democratic capitalist countries, all communist countries are dictatorships.

                  The classic: I’m not going to disprove you because I cannot name one communist country that isn’t a dictatorship, but I want to sound cool nonetheless. Well done.

                  How’s the Che Guevara t-shirt made in a sweatshop doing?

              It doesn’t matter, even a fully actualized public owned economy still requires that it estimate and compare production and capital increase so it knows 1. How much to alot for each citizen in the daily/weekly/monthly UBI, and 2. How to compare its production capacity and volume of capital to other countries who may or may not also be collectivist.

              Both of these needs require the exact understanding of production increase so that it can accurately estimate the capital (capital in this sense being the amount of wealth set aside specifically for the increase in production capacity/efficiency) that allows the economy to grow. Thus they can take that information and increase the amount of dollars available to the country or it’s citizens for use or trade with other nations.

          Of course. I don’t like you, you don’t get sugar/meat/butter/gasoline/freedom. Price: infinite.
