Well-regulated capitalism on the other hand has resulted in an explosion of technological advancement like no other era in human history.
The key is regulation. Not too little, but not too much either. Some things, like minimum wage, are clearly under regulated. Other things, like mandating USB-C, are honestly better left to the free market (and I fucking love USB-C.)
Don't say this here. Everyone hates capitalism here.
I think it's important to have people with diverse opinions, with exception ofcourse.
Some people's opinions are pretty fucked lol
Even those people are probably misguided, uneducated or scared.
Probably, but they could also just be evil. Some people actually want things which are not compatible with what many would consider fair.
I used to try to give people the benefit of the doubt
But lately I've been questioning if I should lol
