He wasn't FORCED to play basketball. Many might think Michael Jordan EXPLOITED the Bulls. Certainly Brian Bosworth might be considered to have exploited the NFL?
I understand the stock market. Do you? It is nothing more than shared risk where I pay for the rights to a portion of the wealth generated by a company and the capital it is in possession of. Do you know where the terms stocks and bonds originated?
Capitalism is a system where CAPITAL makes the rules, and all of the emphasis and power are focused on CAPITAL.
Free Enterprise is a system which rewards ENTERPRISE, not capital, and participants need no special license, no imprimatur of entrance, no friends in high places - just an idea, some energy, and as much money as market implementation of that idea requires.
WE DON'T HAVE A CRONY CAPITALISM PROBLEM. WE HAVE A CAPITALISM PROBLEM. The solution is free enterprise - what the founders implemented when they overthrew the British East India Company.

Capitalism is not freedom. Capitalism is not free enterprise.Cannonpointer » 04 May 2014, 3:47 pm » wrote: ↑ Because a $14,000 price tag on an item that costs $400 (labor inclusive) to produce SHOULD make the distinction I am making obvious even to dullards.
$14,000 - 400 = 13,600. That's serious room for profit, son. WHY ARE THERE NO FREE AGENTS JUMPING INTO THE GAME?
Seriously, one of you capitalism supporters take it on. Rock, you wanna field that? With a 35,000% profit margin on an item you can build in your garage, WHY ISN'T THERE A SINGLE ENTREPRENEUR FROM MAIN STREET JUMPING IN THE WATER? Is the apparent lock that Wall Street has just a conicidence? If so, I'll pick another item from another industry and make the same goddamned point, over and over and over til you puke, son.
Capitalism is what makes you pay 14k for a $400 solar panel, and prevents you from jumping in and bringing the price down while making a buck. Capitalism is what put DeLorean in jail for daring to compete with the big 3. Capitalism is what is suppressing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and bullying people to take a fake, experimental "vaccine," using the power of the state and corporate controlled media. That ain't free enterprise. It's the very opposite of free enterprise.
When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice
"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
