Considering how long we've went back on forth on various topics, I feel like you know this argument is disingenuous. Clearly I didn't mean "long term government intervention" as "mixed economies". The level of intervention our government is showing now (trillions in stimulus for many of us to stay home) can't last long without us turning into one of the examples I gave.
Maybe this exists on another planet somewhere.
Yep. He is such a horrible public speaker (to go along with so many other flaws).
I am very disappointed in the process that led us to Biden as our candidate. Warren, Klobuchar, Booker, Sanders and Yang were all better picks. My favorite was Warren, but 'you go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.' I'll support Biden as a means of ridding the nation of its greatest threat.
Wealth is created through voluntary exchanges, which over time allows for the growth of wealth through specialization, economies of scale, and comparative advantage. If you want to try and label that as "exploitation" than that's your call. However, as a consumer, you and I are just as much a part of that "exploitation" as everyone else. Your home, car, electronics, medical supplies, are all part of that system that allows us to live and prosper.
I agree that exploitation is a fundamental part of the current system. I will vote where I can to change it.
