There were stories b4 capitalism many of which the matrix was based on.

The matrix is a mixed economy movie, perhaps more capitalist than not.

Capitalism is not risking capital to make a profit, other economies have profits and risks.

Capitalism is a sinking ship like the titanic and the question is whether we will build another boat to start a new on, escape on our life rafts, or drown
What other economies have profit and risk? Risking capital to make a profit is the very essence of capitalism. How is it you don't know this? And guess what? "The Matrix" got made in the greatest capitalist nation on Earth by a bunch of capitalists. That's how we all know capitalism works.

Has nothing to do with slavery. We're a capitalist country and we know capitalism works because a movie like "The Matrix" was made using capitalist principles.

First, old Ralphie is a :censored2:ty economist, the pandemic relief bill is an accelerating factor for inflation. Second, he’s right about the munitions companies getting paid. Never ends.
its true the money printed during hte pandemic partly caused the inflation but if you didnt do that it wouldve been a big recession then
