It's a medical condition.
Are you talking about capitalists or gods here?
I'm an atheist, so whaddaya think.
It's hard to tell the difference.
I can help...
Capitalists don't float in the clouds.
Gods don't offer extended warranties.
And you still don't think it's based on faith? You make it sound as if capitalists are responsible for the air we breathe.
We're just talking about economic systems.
Capitalism is merely better than any real world
alternative you've offered.
We're not gods...just mostly useful humans.
Actually, I have - many times.
Why did they want to work for you
instead of starting their own companies?
They have no reason to work for you unless you offer incentives. Why do you want to hire them, especially if you think so little of them?
They're useful.
But just cuz they're unambitious drones doesn't mean
that I think little of them. Some are excellent drones,
& fine people. They just don't aspire to anything more.
People needn't all be the same.
BTW, I've been one of the drones. I cut lawns, made
pizza, machined parts, guarded a building, moved
furniture, census taking, made drawings, picked apples,
mopped floors, etc. We all gotta start somewhere.
Also, I think you're wrong about them not wanting to invest any money or share the risk. Some workers would be willing to do that. I worked for a company that was employee-owned, and employees had the option of putting some of their pay into purchasing stock with the company. Lots of companies do that, and lots of workers avail themselves of the opportunity.
I know of such stock options. But how many companies
actually have workers who invest enuf to exercise control?
What I observe is that they buy only for the discounted
stock price.
Your scornful and derisive view of the common people...
I'm just mocking your scornful & derisive view of us,
you know....the ones who start & run businesses.
Wasn't that clear?
I should warn people before I attempt humor.
....this seems to illustrate perfectly one of the major flaws of capitalism.
All systems have flaws.
The issue should be which system is best.
Capitalists think they're all that and that they're the center of the universe...
Yes, I know how you feel about us.
But feelings aren't convincing.
So I eagerly await your better alternative to capitalism.
