@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024@fite_cs You can’t site an example of a person or group doing something wrong and automatically attribute it to the economic system in place. Self-interest and immorality are human universals, regardless of the economic system.
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024@tomorr53 The idea that there is class servitude in the US today is completely absurd. “Working class” people become “capitalists” all the time in this country. I’m sorry that you haven’t and now want to blame it on somebody else.
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024@tomorr53 Except that capitalism has done more to reduce true poverty worldwide than any other system in human history. So what is this alternative system that would be so much better?
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024@tomorr53 Free trade. Somebody wants my labor or my time, and I want the money they are willing to pay me, so that I can use it to acquire the things I want and need to survive. Otherwise, I have to live with what I can make/do myself.
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024@tomorr53 Human needs and wants are what “force” labor. Capitalism is just free trade, and money makes trading more efficient. If you don’t have any wants, and don’t care if you die, then by all means, don’t work. But if you want to have your needs and wants met, that requires some input.
@McJuggerNuggets If you had a healthy, normal child that was 3 years old, who was suddenly paralyzed or suffered brain damage in an accident, would you feel morally justified in choosing to end the life of that child?
@AmericaRus2024@JohnRad15 Yes, scarcity is unavoidable. Capitalism allows for anybody that is willing to participate, and even many that can’t/won’t, to survive. In almost every other economic system the world has ever tried, those people don’t survive, and Rad would definitely be one of those.
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024 Homeless guy calling someone lazy instead of defending his claim. Sounds about right. No wonder you were homeless. Meanwhile, I’m doing just fine thanks.
@JohnRad15@AmericaRus2024 -define capitalism
-logically explain how homelessness is caused by it
-provide your solution to fix homelessness
Otherwise, shut up
@MaxZepedaSports@OurEsquina Is he also frustrated with himself for not having a lefty ready in the bullpen and instead allowing Burrows to pitch to Cruz with two men on in the sixth inning with a pitch count in the 80’s?
