This Is How Capitalism Works In It’s Beginning. If Greed & Corruption Can Be Held In Check, This Is The Way 🇦🇷

Javier Mileis has vastly improved his Country’s economic Stance with quick economic moves for the win! As long as he and his Admin can hold Greed and Corruption in check, his country should flourish. As I hope for us going forward after Trump wins here in the USA, This Is The Way.

Capitalism would work way better if we didn't have subsidies. Really shitty agricultural products are subsidized so it makes organics too expensive. Then there's the big corporation bail outs, the stealing of our wealth through inflation and taxation. Then there are prohibitions imposed by lawmakers pushed through by lobby groups. 'm thinking we've never experienced true capitalism in the US. At least no one in the past 100 years.
If cronyism was harshly dealt with as well.
Cronyism is the worst aspect of capitalism, especially when the federal government itself is involved.
Absolutely. Then there's using the war excuse to turn on money printers to the max. We could really go on and on. We're not even close to capitalism.
Also not having our currency tied to anything of value.
And have Congress print the money, like the Constitution says. The Fed is unconstitutional, a continuing crime that continually makes things worse.
Exactly! Crony “capitalism” is not capitalism at all. It’s just socialism (communism) with a mask on.
So basically capitalism would work better if it wasn’t socialized.
I don't see that many comments about socialism here, but rather mostly about how large corporations benefit unfairly at the expense of the little people.
Really, I don’t like those terms much anymore. Too Hegelian. All masculine and no feminine, or vice versa.
If things are purely in either, there’s no room for the Justice we seek, because the enemy has followed the letter of those lesser laws, and their endpoints each loop back around into each other.
There does need to be some sort of balance struck into a narrow road that treads between all these systems, while being none of them. Let’s see what we come up with.
Whatever it is, we need a counterbalance to be able to act against funding criminals under duress. We’ve tried this several times, but whether through intent or poor design, it hasn’t worked.
The ethanol industry is what I consider to be the worst crony capitalism example in our country. What really makes me mad is that the so-called "conservative" Republicans from the big ethanol states continue to support it. The problem with politicians is that they aren't driven by principle but by personal wealth and campaign financing.
Amen. Ethanol in our fuel is 100% a crock of shit.
I read YEARS ago (maybe decades?) that it takes more energy to make a gallon of ethanol than it produces. So use of ethanol actually INCREASES the amount of "green house gases" associated with driving cars! It's a classic case of crooked industry people getting Congress to pass laws so they can get even richer! I can't believe this is never talked about by anyone on either side of the "green energy" issue.
Because green energy is run by watermelons.
Green on the outside, red on the inside.
I totally agree. We simply don't have capitalism. We have fake capitalism and it rightfully gets blamed for how shitty it is. It's cronyism, socialism, oligarchy with a capitalism facade.
Try being a farmer with suppressed commodity prices. Farmer are the reason you aren’t starving. Organics have always been expensive with not much benefit.
I would argue that subsidies encourage monoculture because it's difficult to obtain subsidies for something not easily categorized in a government document. Corn and soy definitely wouldn't be as popular if they weren't subsidized. They are rather low grade nutrition. The small, multi-faceted farm makes the most sense, but they currently can't compete against the subsidies. And the subsidized farms can't continue without government help. Probably some stuff I'm missing but it's like saying big banks couldn't survive without the bailouts. You'll probably find this outsider explanation annoying as I'm not a farmer but I do have family members that grown gmo corn and only do it because they are subsidized.
