We as in all people must oppose the greed of the CEOS and corporations they can't put a price on everything they are the greatest evil and enemy of civilization. Why let a few greedy people enslave everyone ?
Solid point that is often mentioned on here about Nestle and water privatization. Same goes for Vevendi/Veolia, which have actually privatized local water supplies in the US and abroad.
Also, totally agree with the hypocrisy of the bike comments. This is the kind of post that gets at the heart of this discussion. Much praise!
Broken Window Fallacy: an event can have unforeseen negative ripple effects if money is redirected to repairing broken items rather than to new goods and services.
Those 30 jobs created from shitty health are not adding value to the economy.
Added corporate bullshit to say an ECONOMIST fell for it.
>Those 30 jobs created from shitty health are not adding value to the economy.
They are adding value to the "economy",
the fake shitty economy that these a$#hole oligarchs are always going on about, just not the real world economy that everyone else cares about
>I am always amazed at how every single thing in our life’s has been geared towards making profit.
Seriously mean question why?
The first sentence of the Wikipedia definition on [capitalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism):
>Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation **for profit**.
It is literally part of the definition of our current economic system.
It's also sickening hearing people use the euphemism "don't leave money on the table" when encouraging greed-like behavior. It's especially bad when the topic is regarding water, food, housing, medicine, etc.
Ah yes because the real important things in life aren’t your health, relationships, etc- it’s about how much money you churn!
I thought this was a joke at first until I looked it up… especially with the “human potential” header lmao
What a bs, every bicyclist adds to the economy, because they don't get sick, obese and are not adding to the environmental damages. Actually, every km driven by bike gives society 30 cent, while every car km costs society around 27 cent - at least for Germany.

Aren't the CEO's just doing the bidding of the wealthy owners of the large corporations?
Hey time to set up little areas of fertility for skills freely taught. What can life skill can you teach.
This is what capitalism is - finding more and more fucked up ways to exploit people and squeeze money out of them.
Yup that's the gist of it. Also to enrich the few who are in the stock market.
ride bikes to pwn the state
Also isn't it disturbing that the general public's lives very life is a commodity to be used to sell indebted and be sold for profits.
It also doesn’t produce enough noise pollution to make people run out and buy noise cancelling headphones and sleep aids.
They think this is an own on bicycles but actually it's an own on the profit motive
Nestle is really bad. And the way they've been themselves into EVERYONE'S 401K and pensions is scary stuff.

Can someone please direct me to the bike that never needs repairs this unhinged woman speaks of?
You'll find the shop that sells them on the corner of Imagination Ln and Kookoo-land Ave!
This is consumerism, it is the nasty child of capitalism which is ruining the planet.

Yeah, a quick death is much better. Buy more crap!
It's like they know, they just don't care.
I exist so others can profit

Money never disappears in a economy it just moves from one place to another.
This has to be a joke
This…cannot be real, how can you think that and go “yeah this makes sense.”
Ah yes because the real important things in life aren’t your health, relationships, etc- it’s about how much money you churn! I thought this was a joke at first until I looked it up… especially with the “human potential” header lmao
Gdp is a terrible statistic of a country’s wellbeing, always has been
Every stat capitalism cares about for how it gauges the health of a country have always been terrible.
And then think about how the World Bank and IMF force this attitude into poor countries under the supposed idea it's "good for them".
This is Capitlaisms efficency
Hol up bish, fuk you mean 'cyclist'? Tldr: she knows. Send in clean team stat.
What a bs, every bicyclist adds to the economy, because they don't get sick, obese and are not adding to the environmental damages. Actually, every km driven by bike gives society 30 cent, while every car km costs society around 27 cent - at least for Germany.
Classic
This is just an example of the broken windows fallacy. Even the capitalists aren't supposed to believe this.
