socialism / capitalism

[1989]

looks like america in some places.

Peter Joseph‏ @ZeitgeistFilm Sep 19

"Fifty-one percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 no longer support the system of capitalism."

Democracy At Work‏ @democracyatwrk Sep 20

The 1% use their cash to get their people into control of our politics. Such inequality cancels democracy.

51% of the trophy generation want more trophies? Shocking, I would have thought there would be more. Maybe we look at it as 49% grew up.

I'm pretty sure all of congress are 1%ers.

no when something blows up its a bubble, when it pops its a bubble

If it doesn't pop, it wasn't a bubble.

you know 19 -29 year olds overwhelmingly rejected hillary and voted for bernie.

the older groups got duped by hillary the hawk more and voted for her.

im not saying im proud of my age group: we spend too much time on our phones (not me), overly positive in some ways, not political enough.

You cannot judge a bubble based on price. Prices fluctuate.

 

[1989]

Have you priced out the cost of building a new home? 3 bd, 2 ba, 2 car garage

Raw land with fees

Permits, inspections

Water, sewer/septic, electrical hook ups.

Building materials. Do you want nice
Cabinets, granite, hardwoods, quality appliances, etc?

Labor. You have to pay concrete workers, plumbers, electricians, etc.


I know, you want pay everybody more until you have to pay them.

alot of the propaganda about state socialism can be equally applied to capitalism because both systems have alot in common.

something for you to think about, and something that you can be sure i will call u out on.

socialism and capitalism ARE NOT THE SAME........what are you smoking?

the previous generations were nothing to celebrate. maybe the communists / socialists / unions who forced FDR to pass all those reforms. or the civil rights stuff in the 60s.

Growth in what? Profit, membership, existence? If there's a competitive advantage to a co-op I would think we would see a lot more of them.

in terms of the total number of them.

i cant remember what makes worker coops so small. italy has alot and im pretty sure thats because the government encourages it with a marcora law which ties into EI. i think the banks give them a harder time than regular businesses. we'd have to look it up.

and of course it doesnt help when alot of people think the only 2 choices are capitalism and state socialism :S LOL
