  • free markets are a shitty idea, but ive never seen one in real life before.

    I think America would actually benefit from switching to a free market economy, instead of our current bullshit where our politicans are too spineless to tell companies like Boeing “sucks to suck” when they ask for yet another handout instead of doing any real work


  • thats what they taught us about communist Russia when i was in highschool

    Our economics class learned that their “public” sector was a mix of private companies acting as both private citizens AND government agencies.

    And my teacher was like “imagine if all the roads and utilities and infrastructure for the country was run by private, FOR PROFIT businesses that benefit from laws written for citizens, AND from laws written for corporations but are not bound by either”

    20 years later i realize thats how its been here the whole time


  • we dont have a free market. We have what i can only describe as Inverse Socialism

    its socialism for the wealthy and the corporations, and “free market” for everyone else

    this is part of the reason why theft of property from the rich, or violence against them, is not morally wrong.

    They get tax breaks that we all pay for, and they influence policies that help themselves while killing us.

    You cant steal what you already paid for, and its not murder when its self defense

    you cant argue with them like theyre people, you gotta trick em like toddlers

    use their own game, tell them its a good thing theyve never learned any of this stuff because they couldnt handle the truth

    make a few bot accounts to follow then around on social media, dropping super vague but ominous statements about biochem:

    “you think thats scary, you should see what chromosomes ACTUALLY do.”

    “yeah Joe Biden is nuts right? haha almost as nuts as how there’s a 1 in 600 chance that you were not born a male but dont know”
