Ahhh good ol' market manipulation... The one true innovation of capitalism.
That's not true at all. Sure, you can argue that most inventions that were created under capitalism would have been created under most other economic ideologies, but definitely not all of them.
We wouldn't have private equity groups without capitalism, and those are changing our lives every single day.
GOD I hate how right you are... Holy fuck I want to downvote for the snark (or my own inability to forgive ignorance) but... UGH!
Private equity is second only to the stock market in, "how fucking braindead can humanity get?".
We're getting less sales because only the stupid, rich, or desperate are building at the moment, lets jack up prices, that'll work…
Morons (or conspirators in destroying the PC platform to make those datacentres profitable, or both).
