Average weekly working hours from 1830-1950. Tell me if you can spot the problem.

It depends on how you define efficient. I'd say it hasn't been invented yet. Computers running algorithms directing production for exactly what we need at any given time is what I want.

Anything that doesn't create landfills of endless junk that we don't really need. In a never ending growth system with only finite resources

So Capitalism it is

We can't keep living in theories breh, we have to live in reality

 

[Uitomy]

Ok so Which other Economic system is more efficient than Capitalism?

There really needs to be a form of capitalism from the government with socialist aspects. Cause the biggest issue we have with capitalism in this country is the more immoral you get the more you get paid. Way too many sociopaths in charge of the companies which inevitably control the country this they run our country like their companies. Right now bro, it’s so many depressing stats in America at the moment capitalism as we know it now is pretty much only effective for like 20% of the population.

Capitalism is shyt. If you wanna dikk ride it just say so.

Theories are what changes the world. I'm trying to live like star trek. fukk money. fukk capitalism. Our descendants will laugh at how barbaric it is if they're lucky enough to have a world to live on that hasn't been destroyed by our current economic systems

That's your emotion talking. In your world, Understanding reality =/= dikkriding. No economic system is perfect, far from it
But I asked you to name another economic system, you were juelzing on every post you quoted. "Computers and algorithms" are not a financial system. You need to stop watching Star wars or Lord of The Rings or whatever fantasy you movie you love watching and start learning Capitalism before its too late for you

The irony in your post is that Government has been 100x more prominent in being hands on with Capitalism and has exponentially grown since the 1930s, but where are the results of a better economic reality for us?
Government was responsible in 1933 when FDR confiscated gold, and in 1971 when Nixon completely took us off the gold standard because they didn't believe in free markets and wanted more Central Planning. Did it prevent markets from having recessions, improve the supply chain, and prevent loss of jobs? Nope

The Welfare state that started with the 1960s with LBJ was also the Government's doing. Did this improve poverty and the wealth gap? Nope

Where has been the benefits of more Government on our economy? I'm waiting

Some of us still out here working 60+ getting overtime breh.
I'm already at 39 hours for the week.

Did that shyt for 12 years and never going back. Work 36 hours a week now and make more than I did when I was working 60+. Add in the benefits are better and considerably cheaper and it's considerably more money.

 

[Still Benefited]

Ok so none

No,because that would mean we are stuck with capitalism.

The elephant in the room is that Federal Government has too much power

They are absolutely clueless on how to Distribute and Manufacture resources efficiently. And that lack of efficiency shows up in the job market with high workloads, supply chain issues, and minimal job creation

Until the State and Local governments get more power this will continue to happen

Now you just called for the state and local government to have more control over ther economies. And saying the government has too much power right now. So technically you are saying America isnt truly capitalism. Seems like you are calling for a a govt that has communist and socialist elements? So i dont see how you can just write off communism when you prefer a mixed bag yourself


Maybe you just prefer capitalism as the dominant form And Id like to see communism as the dominant form. With some democratic safeguards in place possibly.

 

[Jekyll]

Not on paper...but in practice i only work like 20 or 30 hours

Yeah Idk if I even hit 20hrs of actual work. I bill 40 tho…

The Capitalism system involves Government. What in the hell are you talking about?

This comment is a PERFECT example of how many people aren't well versed and clueless in how Capitalism operates

Well I should say I get paid for 36. I only officially get a 30-minute lunch break but I take an hour every day. So since it's a half day Friday and thus only four days with a lunch break, subtract two hours off that to make it 34. And there are times when it's slow and I dikk around on the internet.

What I’m taking from your statement is we just need people with self control and self fulfillment in our government and they’ll make better decisions. So like I said, we first need to get rid of mentally I’ll people as leaders because they’ll just propagate destruction vs having people who care about their people in charge

I'm just sitting and driving most of the time. Overnight when everybody is asleep anyway. Come home and workout to get more physical activity. Probably the best "job" I've had. Just got a text message telling me not to come into work tonight and put down 8 hours.

You literally said the government has too much power. Which would mean we dont practice true capitalism by definition.



Your issues with Communism may be due to the fact you werent seeing pure communism in action.

You're falling over yourself. You are not making any points right now outside of saying you want Communism

But for the record,you do admit this isnt true capitalism as intended?. Because the govt has "too much power"?
