Capitalism has no conscience. Capitalism has no empathy. Capitalism has no integrity.
Capitalism is about profit and nothing else. And the means to profit matters not to the capitalist. For the capitalist satisfying their greed lust is priority one.
Speaking of socialism, today President Trump called for the US Government to hold a 50% interest in media company Tik Tok.
I'll just leave this with the Skuds, -FJs, Joe Cs and Thersites... where have we seen national governments take control of media outlets in the last 100 years?
Would government control of 50% of Tik Tok, or any company for that matter, represent a control of capital, choosing winners and losers and ending free markets?
Government takeover of media has happened in Hungary by Orban. Hungary is no longer a democracy. The MAGAs are not paying attention. They’re cultists being led by a con man.
Dave, Didn't the great one demand the government own a percentage of GM when the government took it over. As a result of the company's 2009 bankruptcy, the government's investment was converted to a 61 percent equity stake in the Detroit-based automaker, plus preferred shares and a loan.Apr 30, 2014. Why was that OK and this one is not?
skud, again you provide evidence of your ignorance. Former President Obama, using the power of the presidency in accordance with Congress and the Treasury, bailed out GM, saving the auto industry and preventing an economic crash for citizens of the USA. The Treasury then sold their GM shares in 2013, in essence paying back the monies loaned out.
President Felon is using only Executive Orders, meaning he's not consulted with anyone outside his inner circle. THAT's the difference. That's why the actions taken by former President Obama are OK, but I don't expect you, skud, to acknowledge the facts as they have been presented. Why not? Because skud, you choose to remain ignorant. But hey, both sides, amirite?
Per Mark Elias, the opposition movement is alive and well, if in its infancy. There are several other circles of friends doing the same although I'm not listing each and every one. When you find your circle of friends you'll know.
The point of the shock and awe spewing from President Felon is to convince We The People to roll over without a fight. It's up to each of us how we react. As for me? Well, my body is giving me what for but my fingers can still type so that's what I've been doing, spreading light where the darkness of fear has infiltrated good humans thoughts. How do I know they are good humans? Love. Do you practice love or do you spread the hatred of other? Light/dark, the difference is that easy (and hard for those who know that which is considered easy is anything but).
President Felon and his inner circle knew he won based on the issue of grocery prices but now they are in power and don't need anyone's vote President Felon is implementing policies (tariffs on our neighbors/friends) that will drive prices up even higher. But something something eggs? Sure Jan, sure.
I have yet to hear even one person in my sangha have anything positive to say about the Felon President. I guess Buddhists recognize the deep danger Narcissist "Man" and Felon President present the USA and the rest of humanity.
And just perhaps engaged Buddhism will ultimately play a large part in righting our True American ship and spirit.

No that's all capitalism... as the saying goes, "Socialize losses, Privatize gains!"

I agree with Les.

Asking for my socialist and commie friends...

Might as well whistle Dixie because the clueless will likely be singing praises to their Fuhrer.
Capitalism pays for your retirement. Is it greed that makes you accept the funds.

At least this one hopes so.
Les, seconded.
