The issue really is not capitalism, it is too much centralization due to poor capitalism management. Saying we should unlearn is ridiculous as what is the alternative that also does not lead to centralization and all the issues it brings with it. The more we point the finger at capitalism, the more we are not focused on the real enemy of too much centralization regardless of the political or economic system.

Immersive_Matthew ,

That is me entire point. Accountability must be built in and too much centralization needs to be managed or the beast will grow into a monster and impact all negatively including itself in the long run. Lots of ways to manage, but like all centralized systems, they tend to become corrupt over time and don’t kid yourself that other systems where the means are owned by the people as they suffer from the same issue. Centralization is the enemy here not capitalism per se.

Comments like this that offer no value of than a sly remark are often just projecting. I shared my view. Feel free to join the discussion and share yours.

What? I am saying better managing it would improve it. Higher taxes the more you make. Caps on company sizes. Strict regulations with consequences that actually mean something if broken. There are ways to manage. We just choose not too. What is the better alternative as every system has it pros and cons but all of not managed right, lead to bad outcomes. Maybe it is impossible as fundamentally humans and human nature are at the core.

I think you are projecting more than a little as you are just describing other types of groups. Humans make groups and groups are a form of centralization and centralization has inherent issues. Not saying we would be better off without them as that is absurd, but we can better manage the negative effects be it capitalism or communism. They are just different sides of the same coin and if we fail to recognize that we are doomed for more suffering.

Many Corporations seem to all be desperately clawing at whatever they can to reach new profit highs but it is backfiring and is getting CEOs fired when the consequences of their actions catch up. Just ask the ex Unity game engine CEO how it went when they pushed too hard. People, society has a tipping point that you do not want to cross as it threatens everything including their profits.

Clearly all these sorts of companies are only using staff until they are able to replace with robots. Not a bad thing as also, clearly the job sucks but as many others have pointed out, what happens when products you buy are made by robots and distributed by robots with no humans involved. Who will have the income to buy? I am not seeing evidence of UBI coming in a serious way despite a few small successful pilots. Someone in the government better be ready to support these workers are their days are numbered

Immersive_Matthew ,

Right. How can one not be outraged by the entire war? How can you be a decent human being and only be outraged when people more similar to you die and not other INNOCENT people. These people supporting any war are enemies of the people. They are not leaders.

Who the heck is downvoting this? This is such a reflection of our society.

I think it is called alcohol for most actually.

I bet Tim Cook felt his legacy was going to be the Vision Pro, but it will more likely be that he led to company into massive legal issues. He really has walked Apple right into it.

Centralization not capitalism is the root cause of many issue and the more we blame capitalism the further we are away from reality.

Immersive_Matthew ,

If the democratic control is centralized, you will have the same problem.

Immersive_Matthew ,

Same thing with development.

This just happened to my YouTube interface today as well and after a quick search, people have been complaining for over a year. Must be a rolling test across groups of users, but if they have not figured out no one likes it after a year, it means the whole thing must be on autopilot.

Immersive_Matthew ,

I am not very plugged into this situation, but when a government tries this hard to shutdown a protest, it is time for a new government.

Immersive_Matthew ,

I mean good for them, but I would have thought Unions would be appearing in more difficult and exploitative companies. Places like Amazon and all of Starbucks and so so so many others way before Costco which has had one of the best reputations for decades on how they treat their employees.

Immersive_Matthew ,

Does it have to be a game?

This was very common in Canada in the late 80s and 90s with a couple chains still doing it today.

Best STTNG Meme ever!!! I really enjoyed reading them all as they were so fitting to the characters. I had a few legit LOL moments here. I too am Geordi.

Immersive_Matthew ,

Right. Communism vs capitalism is just more centralization. There are plenty of decentralized options to balance things as too much centralization, no matter the political system leads to corruption.

All the increasingly large corporations that are constantly buying their competition and making it hard for anyone else to compete.
