Phixer sounds like a proponent for socialism where everyone makes the same wage and government controls prices. Capitalism works....It may divide rich and poor, but it also divides the hard workers/ intelligent employees or owners from the lazy stupid ones. Case in point, your endeavor to convert your own vehicles to ethanol and make your own ethanol. If the oil market wasn't what it was now, you wouldn't be reasearching and experimenting with this thus furthering yourself. Capitalism at it's finest.
:hilarious Still bitter about the ethanol thread huh Darth. :hilarious
Thats funny, socialism is exactly what your defending and dont even know it. But since you mentioned ethanol as an example heres why.
Alternative energy resources like ethanol are a small example of innovation which flourishes in a democracy. You see Darth in a in a socialist republic folks just accecpt the norm because they are paralyzed to change it while those at the top get richer (does this sound familliar) its easier to accept it and to just pay up until one day you realize how the system really works. Very few of those in power are there because of capitalism allowed it. Conversly it makes no sense to reward medocricy either. :hilarious (sounds like the Matrix sorry) :hilarious The socialists are the ones who inhibit innovation.
Countries like China are good at this, they can beat the rest of the world when it comes to reverse engineering and mass production. But they supress the creativity and innovation that thrives in a democracy. Some would rather accept the norm than create something better? Where do you think ideas like ethanol come from? now does that sound like a proponent of socialism or capitalism at its finest, confused as to how you phrased it?
Now instead of slinging mud back and forth, lets hear some new ideas on how to save a buck without the nonsense of why we should keep our mouths shut and continue to accept being treaded upon. Everyone knows that dog shampoo inst worth a dollar an ounce, if you dont then maybe some research is in order. I guess my priorities are mixed up, every dog Ive had has lived a long and happy life without 10 dollar a bottle shampoo, maybe if the shampoo smelled like another dogs *ss the dog would feel justified in me using it. :hilarious
Check out how much the CEO of EXXON made last year after taxes, while most school teachers scrape by many like him enjoy the benefits of "capitalism at its finest" because that type of stagnant thinking + $3.50 a gallon put him there.
Back on Earth which one is more is important to you? or is this just another example of capitalism at its finest.
Its better to look for solutions. Do you actually feel that poor people divided by greed masked as "capitalism" are unintelligent , lazy or stupid? there is a good portion that are neither. Think about it...
"Capitalism works....It may divide rich and poor, but it also divides the hard workers/ intelligent employees or owners from the lazy stupid ones."
So does privledge, arrogance, and ignorance which catagory are you in? hard work seperates the deserving but greed in the form of the example mentioned hinders hard workers, another example..... if your so smart why arent you rich?
Almost everyone works hard. While the rich send there kids to Harvard the poor send their kids to protect freedom so the rich can get richer in the name of capitalism. Now does this sound justifyable if you call it capitalism.
To bring this back on topic. There is no logical reason why dog shampoo has to cost a dollar an ounce or gasoline has to cost $3.50 a gallon. If you really belive this then I'll buy more stock in Oil and dog shampoo :hilarious thanks for your contribution
Having had to defend capitalism on foreign soil before is an awakening experience?
Most small LFS and small businesses struggle because of the ridiculous overhead, innovation and creativity is the answer. Its slow sometimes but we can still do better than this.
