Your Champion's Economic Thread

[Parkbandit]

That would be a discussion that could carry on for a long time but the gist of it is capitalism is a system with no moral or ethical boundaries where the acquisition of capital is concerned. The government is the common population's only defense against a system that left unchecked would eventually consume everyone and everything for the benefit of the very few.

Tell us all about it. Please be specific on what economic system is proven to be better than capitalism.

I'm for capitalism. Mostly because of this.

Also, because of this...

All of which, because of conservative investments and patience, will likely allow me to retire in the next 5 years if I continue to experience the prosperity that is the US of A.

MERICA!

I'd be for communism if I had a title like premier or general secretary. Other than that, nothx.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I'm also for capitalism because while I was posting the charts above, a robot was vacuuming my bedroom. A robot slave, if you wanna get all technical. I'm for robot slaves until they become sentient. Then I'm fucked.

Now I feel like I should delete the post above, because when robots are sentient, it's gonna come back on me.

"Now the officer claims he feared for his life when he was "aggressively approached" by the automated vacuum device."

See how it begins?

If this isn't malicious, I don't know what is.

"Jesse Newton (https://www.facebook.com/jesse.newton.37/posts/776177951574) said ‘every conceivable surface’ was left covered in his dog’s poo after it was picked up by his Roomba, an automatic robot vacuum cleaner (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/reviews/9286527/iRobot-Roomba-780-review.html)."

If only we had a tagging feature, this thread would already be happening.

This question is inherently flawed. It's like asking if you should be eating 2lbs a minute or starving to death. The answer is it's a balance and none of these systems could thrive in a pure form. If capitalistic/communistic ideas are terrible, they are easy enough to argue individually. Playing the <card> card indicates a weak hand.

And that is why you need one of these for when it happens:

9295

Which you can only purchase here in the good ole U.S. of A. Yet another reason capitalism is the best system.
