    Mammalian tits do this thing where they stop making milk when it stops being extracted from them. You’re complaining that capitalism was working so well that a logistical interruption happened on a global scale the worst of it is a lot of milk may have been wasted. Instead of the entire dariy industry collapsing.

      Why would the system collapse?

      Perhaps because they need to pay off debts to other capitalists?

      Funny how circle this all is, isn’t it?

      Show me a society in history that purposefully destroyed food for economic gain.

        So how would a different system solve the problem of a single link in a supply chain disrupting the rest?

          First step is getting a majority to recognize capitalism isn’t the best solution. That it is just another -ism in a long line of -isms.

                  Or maybe I’ve sick of stupid people who can’t think for themselves.

                  If I say capitalism isn’t good you assume socialism.

                  That’s like me saying Christianity is bad so you assume I’m a Muslim.

                  You have a weak mind and I’m not interested in being nice to morons. I’ve found it only emboldens their stupidity.

                    First of all, you have no idea whether or not I think for myself.

                    Second of all, if you do criticize capitalism, of course you’re advocating for another alternative system. That’s what everybody’s talking about, communism or socialism. You can’t just criticize a system without having an alternative.

                    But go ahead, cope and say that I have a weak mind. Maybe this makes you feel better about not knowing wtf you’re talking about.
