Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

      And then you look at their business and a portion of their work is simply trying to make sure the hired workers don’t ever stop working. The main reason being is because they want every last drop of productivity from their workers. The worker is not a person, they are an asset. Even if there’s nothing left to do their job is to then hastily grab the broom or something.

      That’s not always true. Handymen, for example, often do much of the work and hire others only when needed. Entrepreneurs sometimes run their businesses all on their own selling products they personally designed.
