I never understood why everyone blames capitalism, when almost all of the places they spout as being great...are built with capitalism money...
Right and further, when you look at the people complaining about capitalism and ask them if they shop ethically…you know making sure their coffee beans are fair trade, their clothes makers are paid a living wage, their veggies are picked by those fairly compensated etc etc let alone slave labour in the mix, they almost always look like a deer in the headlights. They say they hate capitalism but they seek the lowest price therefore they reinforce the behaviour they hate.
Nailed it. I don't eat fast food anymore because of the cost. I'll order out from a local restaurant because it's a few bucks more than fast food at this point, and I usually get my meal quicker. Panda Express? Nope... I'm going to the local Chinese place and getting double the food for the same cost and the Chinese immigrants there are awesome people who make bangin' food.
