capitalism, anger 

The regular reminder of how pissed I am that “entrepreneur” isn’t someone who decides they’re gonna run a shop, restaurant or their own truck, but always some 20-50-something white dude with more personal income than all of rural Oregon combined at the very least, who’s had This Brilliant Idea someone else has coded and someone else ships out, and therefore whole municipalities lube up and bend over for him.

capitalism, anger 

I still think capitalism can offer things like consumer choice, employee choice, wealth distribution and a prosperous society. What always gets touted is feudalism draped in free market rhetoric and I feel like I’m basically believing in the equivalent of the USA as a land of opportunity and equality (yes I try to hold onto that myth!) or Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
