    In its very perverted logic, this assassination is good for capitalism. Every CEO can ask for a raise now.

      One of the strengths of capitalism is that it can profit both off stability and off turmoil. It literally cannot lose

        That’s why I feel progress should be made by leveraging capitalism instead of nuking it.

          It’s already been tried with social democracies. They cannot last because capitalism is inherently rapacious by nature and tends to maximize the extraction of surplus value in the long run.

                  Sorry, just saw this. The answer is at the expense of the global south. Those social democracies still have companies that profit off of the labor and resources of the global south.

                    Definitely. Is there anywhere that doesn’t profit off the labor and resources of the global south though? Even in the global south? The few social democracies that exist, if you can even call them that, benefit in this way but also by taxing the rich and the corporations for the benefit of all their citizens.

              You mean the same countries that have been having issues with managing the growing number of immigrants and the strain they put on the welfare system?

          Capitalism tries to nuke itself that’s why it’s often heavily regulated. It’s only positive is that it allows for rapid production. Which is also it’s greatest drawback.

            No, you don’t. You love creating strange monsters and then quelling them to make your arts seem something, as Jonson brilliantly put it. I prefer thinking that things can be changed by the people who need change the most instead of hoping for utter sociopaths to discover an empathy they’ve never shown proof of.

      Let’s increase each one’s pay by exactly three aerodynamic chunks of lead, to be deposited directly into their brainpans at supersonic speeds.

          He also was using a suppressor without a Nielsen device as they had to rack the slide after every shot. Telling me it wasn’t a professional hit.

              It uses gas pressure to allow the slide to reciprocate and load another bullet into the chamber. Most pistols with an attached suppressor need this because of how blow back tilting barrels work.

              Much more importantly you should just get tor browser and use duckduckgo. This way you can search and you’re not expressing interest on a federated board that can cache what you say indefinitely.

      Lol “How will you attract talent?” thats always been the argument why do think their pay has increased so much while labor wage has stagnated.
