[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=outtamojo][quote=scaredyclassic]The wall came down.
The whole system seemed doomed to fail.
Haha so stupid.
But how might capitalism fail?
Does it start by sending govt checks signed by a fraudulent huckdter tv personality out to everyone.[/quote]
We were never really true capitalists to begin with. Our system is taking a hit because we have the most incompetent people ever running our federal gov. Well
actually they are good at one thing -they have a preternatural talent for getting people to act on their worst impulses.[/quote]
I had this conversation with a friend a few days ago.
The myth is the we have manifest destiny and the most perfect constitution that allow us to overcome anything and always be #1.
For example, the states are laboratories of governance thus always providing us the optimal federal government.
With regard to Covid, if we compare the USA to other countries, we can clearly see that it comes down to competent management. God didn’t somehow bless us with the best government.[/quote]
I suspect when people say we have the best system in the world, they cannot describe even one other system, other th an maybe a n Korean dictatorship.
