Due to the zombie threads here, I know how to deal with zombies better than the girls in my highschool, and will lead the people to victory with little casualties. Of course the penguin factor adds complications...
Sounds cool, maybe we will get there someday. Correct me if I am wrong, but didnt the decline of the roman empire have to do with it's population not working because they had no need to? I heard that somewhere, maybe an idiot, not sure really :)
What? Socialist healthcare solution: Treat the disease and you're cured again. That's where all those taxes go. To pay for that expensive surgery for when your neighbourhood is not willing to. Right now, we don't pay taxes on health care. It would raise our taxes. I'm not going to pretend to be an economist, I don't know how much. So youre basicly paying for it anyway. Not as much, but your also paying for other people too. Plus, hospital competition will make them lower costs and provide better services. Gotta love the invisible hand!
Both capitalism and communism are starting not to work. Times are changing after all. Both systems are built around the idea that everyone works a 9 to 5 job. With everything being automated, and only a tiny fraction of the population needed to grow food and build houses, that won't work anymore.
If there's not enough jobs anymore, in capitalism it means less consumers, which means less production which means less jobs etc. People are working two jobs staying busy for the sake of being busy. Of course it looks and sounds really useful, but a big part of that is because of bureaucracy and insane amounts of luxury. It's about time people start thinking about how to organize society in such a way that the automation will be a blessing instead of a curse.
New economix? *gasp* Actually you peaked my interest a little, could you elaborate on this?
Socialist heathcare example : Lets say your a loved person in your community and have been diagnosed with a deadly disease. Socialist healthcare solution : give you medication to prolong death and say good bye. Now what if your community hosted a fundraiser and got enough money for that expensive surgery? Capitalist healthcare ftw
EDIT : Remember that nothing is perfect and someone will always complain, but a society must choose the best out of the available. Which is why we're Capitalist.
