Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

It doesn’t matter how many times communism has failed, capitalism still has to actually work.

    Capitalism created a society where child labor wasn't required to survive.

    As I’ve said many times, capitalism has been great. A giant leap forward for civilization.
    Yet you want to replace it with a system which has had to revert to child labor in every society its been installed.
    I want people to have healthcare, I want money out of politics, I want tuition free college.

    I expect America to be capitalist for my entire life and that’s okay. And yes, capitalism is one of the reasons I’m afforded the ability to say that.
    I’m going to let you in a little secret, Kobe…and I want you to remember this, if nothing else, going forward.

    You absolutely cannot make something “free” and avoid its immediate and almost total de-valuation. Full stop, it’s a cold-welded fact of society and human nature. You need to get it out of your head that a service provided by others should be free to anyone who wants to utilize it, be it education, healthcare, or anything else you’re currently dreaming of not having to pay for.

    Someone, somewhere is funding that service. Free does not exist.
    I cannot express how fucking stupid you sound trying to explain that “well actually” things aren’t free.
    Explain it to me, then.

    I really want to hear the part-time barista level-set to the group on how we make the cost of goods and services disappear in healthcare and education.
    @TheKobeStopper I'm fucking waiting....

    As my fellow grifter accountant/finance overlord @PurpleThrobber said, it’s income as soon as it vests and transfers.
