  • Yes the world would be a better place if people looking to profit in the world didn’t have to ensure that their products were safe, regulated, and taxed appropriately. Business owners should just be able to make their own rules.

    Nah man I’d say that shit it stupid too. It’s difficult to build a lithium mine in the United States for pretty good reasons, especially surrounding regulation and safety.


  • Capitalism necessitates that the product and the profit are always the most important thing. We’ll never really get rid of this issue until we remove the profit motive, and we’ll never really see the full view of capitalism without accepting that these corporations don’t care about their workers or their customer base at all. They never will, because that doesn’t impact profit. They will feign empathy and sincerity until they have met their quarterly profit goal, and the public will clap and say “wow, finally somebody fights for us!” And continue to consume.




  • There is a carpet store and restaurant near my house, and in the three years I’ve lived here I can’t recall seeing anyone buy anything or even visit either store a single time.

    Once my partner and I actually walked over to check it out and the carpet store was closed and all of the windows were covered. It was like 4 in the afternoon on a Wednesday, so I can’t imagine why it would be closed.

    There’s supposedly a lot of Russian gang activity in my area, so I’m assuming it’s just a front for them but I’ve never really confirmed it.
