Weird because fox news hammered home the point that if Biden i elected, antifa will be elected into power, cities will burn, communism will be implemented, the country will fall into chinese hands and so forth and there we have someone being, biden is trump but, lite.


oh, so, whether we have trump or biden, it's absolutely the same?

If a publically traded stock market is the search for the valuation of a company between buyers and sellers, who is the organization itself to add artificial value to that value-finding mission?

This is what causes rampant speculation leading to stock market crashes that economically destroy individuals. It's a Ponzi scheme baked into the system and it inflates the value of the financial system itself as well
See: FAS' performance since last year's "recession"
the ponzi scheme is capitalism, I mean, it's very obviously a pyramid scheme if we are to be honest? Very obviously a pyramid scheme.
And the more people you have working under you, the richer you'll get. lol. It's a mlm.

But, beside this, just know that these economic things you hate so much, are ultra conservative Milton Friedman's ideas.
It wreak havoc in the US, sure but now, imagine what it does to countries with lesser infrastructure...

We do, have a cure for malaria.
500,000 people die from this, every year.

It's easy to point at communism and say famine, bad.
But nobody looks at this dark side of capitalism where people die of hunger, and thirst because they cannot afford water, and food or die from treatable diseases because they cannot afford the medicine.

The numbers are staggering.
And we say oh well, their government are corrupt.
Yeah, we know this, the US is evry friendly to these despots because these despots send cheap resources tho so we, as westerners, are complicit.

Or we can close our eyes on this reality.
