Three Problems with Capitalism

[MisterVeritis]

He is also stupid. People become rich by meeting the needs and wants of the many. Capitalism is about winning and winning. This fool has lost sight of the point.

No one's issue is color but the problems some colors bring. In any case, it's a tangent.

OK.

The problem is that people inevitably look for solutions. The last two Centuries demonstrate that well enough. That's not going to stop but the cures have been worse than the disease so I understand his reticence. That said, it would indeed be "unwise" to ignore or dismiss these problems. The future of liberal capitalism depends on solving them.

Not sure it can be solved. But it does need to be recognized and not brushed aside.

It is helpful to begin with the truth.

Why are so many of your heroes foolish, damaged goods?

Try reading the article instead of setting up strawmen to shoot down like a bad comedian.

Try thinking instead of posting cultists nonsense.

There is no solution to capitalism because capitalism is not the problem, but the solution.

The three problems cited in the OP are not the consequences of capitalism.

What do you want, perfection?

You can't even be bothered to read the responses of your betters because you can't imagine reality.

The so-called problems are all made worse if capitalism vanishes, and if capitalism had never appeared, slavery would still be the norm.

So quit crying.

To phrase is more precisely, people create wealth by serving the needs and desires of people, and people can also become rich by stealing wealth others create.

The first is a capitalist, the other is every other system.

I would have to say there has always been winners and loosers long before Capitalism ever existed.

Taking it a step further, under some other systems everyone is a looser, but don't know it.
As an example...When i lived in Ft. Lauderdale, there were street people who thought their $632 a month checks was golden and getting awarded Section 8 was like winning the lottery. I even heard one lady say just that. They were loosers, but just did not know it.

Capitalism however has its downsides but if you are smart, you do not fall into its traps.
My Russian teacher fell into one of its traps by getting a Capitol One credit card with a $5,000 line of credit.
Now she is hopelessly lost in debt and has to come up with $600 a month for her payments.
She is contemplating going back to Russia to get away from it.
I told her Capitol One is one of the worst predatory credit cards out there. They will kill you with their high interest, and fees.

But...Capitalism is the only system that generates wealth. Communism and Socialism only take wealth others have previously created.

What I personally hate about Capitalism is searching on the internet and the only results you get or BUY THIS and BUY THAT.
NO!, Internet, I was only looking up George Washington Carver and how he did not create peanut butter, yet all I get is BUY Peanut butter here and BUY peanut butter there for three pages of results....and I don't even use Google.
