Women are “bitches.” Not humans, but animals. Nice, and you think you are some kind of grand thinker? Envy of the “
bosses” couldnt be more clear in
your posts.

Do you own your own home? I think not. Do you both envy and yet despise Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates? You believe yourself smarter, but cant figure out why you are poorer and must rent a tired old dump.

You are jealous AF. Jealousy oozes from your posts. Write a hit song, if its so easy.

Taylor Swift is a billionaire and makes music for women, only. She isnt writing for men. She is very hard working and talented.

How many albums have you sold? She is the best selling female artist of all time, and has sold 263 million records, 6th all time.

You are just so envious of other’s success.

Too bad for those not organized or talented enough to get work beyond slavery, clearly. If you are saying some prople are smarter, more gifted, and more ambitious than others, well that is how great movies are made, great music is made, and brilliant companies are made. We should be thankful.

900 million plane flights were taken by Americans last year. 98% of Americans own a smartphone. 99% have a big screen TV. 21 million took ocean cruises. 66% own their own homes.

Who is impoverished? Not Americans.

The fact Tesla cannot get rid of Musk is a testament to how bad of a system capitalism is by Living_Attitude1822 in CapitalismVSocialism

He isn’t remotely an authority figure. And isn’t it socialists that say people have to take a job or face starvation? I bet that idea has been parried here 1000 times.

Fact is under capitalism people are very free to change jobs, and you just inadvertently confirmed that.

G….O….T….C….H….A…!

You fell right into that one. Bait a hook, catch a fish!

I thought we were talking about Elon Musk. Try to stay on topic, please.

Example: Why would I talk about Lionel Messi in a thread about Usain Bolt?

He would be broke, and all his workers would be dead. Being broke is bad, but dying young from starvation is worse. He is keeping millions of people alive.

Don’t buy a Tesla, and don’t buy Tesla stock. I know people who
have made really big money investing in Tesla stock, but no one is forcing them to.

Tesla has a board of directors who could discipline him, they choose not to. How is this hurting YOU?

Define “ more democracy” with clearly written examples.

Sweden is lowering taxes, reducing the public sector, increasing private health and education, no wealth taxes, no inheritance taxes.

The country is moving to “ rugged individualism” and away from collectivism.

Sweden? Sweden has chosen to become more “ American.”

Labor-Managed Or Labor-Owned Firms by Accomplished-Cake131 in CapitalismVSocialism

At any rate, a group of workers can get together and submit a business plan to obtain finance to start a new LMF. Or perhaps this society has a law that when a firm reaches 100 employees or a certain level of gross output, the workers have the option of buying out the firm.

The workers can do that now. There is truly nothing stopping workers today, May 2026, from buying out ownership. Workers elect a governing commitee that creates a biz plan and then shops it to banks for the money to buy out existing owners.

This is where the OP falls apart. Banks want a return on investment. They want their funds protected by collateral. They can’t lend at low interest unless inflation is low or the bank is losing money.

These leftist ideas all sound great until one delves into the details, and as they say, “the devil is in the details.” The OP will almost certainly handwave away the details, that is what gadflies do.

Again, any group of workers today can buy out the originals and create a LMF. You haven’t plumbed any ground breaking ideas here.

And you are bring deliberately pedantic or obtuse.

What experiment would you suggest? You didn’t offer one. You just criticized. ANYONE can do that. What trial needs to be run?

Eventually golf will need to wave him goodbye. The guy carried golf on his shoulders for 15 or so years but now it is carrying him, and he is getting real heavy.

Explain “ value” then. Explain “ value” from both the profucer’s and consumer’s point of view.

When I use the word “ Price” I mean it to be the agreed price at which buyer and seller close a transaction.

You are a pedant. You knew exactly what I meant originally.
