Michael: Capitalism is dead - really? I couldn't disagree more. And what "system" is it that's "designed to weed out the products and services that don't cut the mustard"? I thought that was the job of the marketplace....if your product sucks, people stop buying it...if your product is great, you can't make it fast enough. Please help me understand.

If you think capitalism isn't dead, then you just don't understand the true definition of capitalism. This is why I said it has been dead as long as we all have been alive. What has taken it's place is NOT capitalism. Think outside of your own head space for two seconds. In this world, if a product sucks it isn't pushed from the marketplace, it is either subsidized by government, or put in to a market that has no choice but to accept it. If capitalism still existed, Tesla, for example, would not. They would have been out of business before most of us ever knew who they were. The difference between you and I is that I'm not programmed by the world around me to believe that this is all there is. I know how it should be and what REALITY is, and I'm not afraid to recognize it.
Well if I don;t know the true definition of capitalism, could you please enlighten this mouth-breathing plebeian?
I'm asking because, as a business owner for the last 25 years, I've never had a shitty product that was subsidized by the government. Who do I call in Washington to get my bad products subsidized?
Or are you just pissed off because it takes so long to charge your Tesla Model S?
BTW - Roger Hallam sounds like a certified nut-bag. Does he really sound like you?
I wouldn't own a Tesla if it was a gift. They are a perfect example of a product that would have failed without government intervention. I too am a business owner, and if you don't see all of the substandard products flooding all markets, you're just not telling yourself the truth. The number one product that is the lowest quality it's ever been in modern human history at present is LABOR. We are being forced to pay too much for substandard performance because the corporate formula has destroyed any semblance of accountability in the labor market. The days of employees that work happily for a single company for a lifetime are gone, why? Because the corporate formula of doing things means that they must reset the market periodically to avoid over paying for labor, this has created a dynamic of nomadic labor that has now carried over to the private sector like a virus. All of this is due to the government protecting the corporations that provide the financing for them to be elected, while the government makes sure to limit the financial liabilities that they place on the corporations as a quid pro quo. All the while, the corporations are re-educating the public to believe in a new norm that contradicts human nature. This is a conversation that is much more effectively communicated verbally due to the many capillaries that connect all of the main arteries.

No... He sounds like me.
