@saladbowl7 Any industry we have here is being slowly choked out by numerous suicidal policies, not least of which is a 40% 'green' levy on all energy expenditures. Though one always has to mention that its impossible to get anything new built either.
@spumdonor Having some no body v tuber yap mindlessly over good content completely transforms the content into something totally different (and unwatchable) in this way I think it is fine to allow.
@naelcmsyhr "A private individual owns the business so it doesn't matter how the government is forcing them to run it" is not an argument for capitalism.
@naelcmsyhr You cannot have capitalism without free markets, I notice you did not respond to my question of which industries have a free market. You can keep pretending this slow descent into country wide poverty is a sign of capitalism failing but its clearly the absence of capitalism.
@naelcmsyhr@Ionro@SimonLester2468@PolitlcsUK The redistribution of money, forcefully, to fund non critical businesses, obviously.
Quite hard to describe the UK as capitalist, what free market do we have? Can't think of any that isn't heavily controlled by tax, regulation or direct competition from the government.
@Thorin And, of course, they never breathe a word of criticism for China or India -- the idea of attempting to forestall the industrialisation of Africa does not enter their minds, purely a self flagellation regardless of it's obvious ineffectiveness. So very obviously unserious.
