Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

      Because there’s no link between not having asked for something and getting it for free?

        It’s like being born in an amusement park and then the ticket guys charge ya. I just don’t think that’s fair

          Yeah that sucks.

          But nature charges you to live too. People are born to work, either hunting and gathering, or working a job for money.

      You’re free to cease existing if you don’t want it
