Topic	How do we fix capitalism?
darkjedilink 11/29/18 10:59:40 PM #16:	theAteam posted... By getting away from capitalism. All the shit you've seen over the last 30-40 years is inherent in the system. Capitalism rewards the most efficient economic actions, regardless to societal effect. The only way away from that is to incentivize more socially beneficial outcomes through legislation. The problem with that is private industry owns the government so all the legislation benefits whoever has the most money, i.e. those that can most efficiently exploit the developing world. "Getting away from capitalism" caused every single problem people have with American crony-capitalism. Going further away isn't going to fix those problems. It hasn't fixed it in Europe or South America or Asia or Canada, so why would it fix it here? --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:913280933] in How do we ...
