Capitalism trashes usable goods openly and daily, DISCUSS

[AntiParty]

Everyone has seen links to closing grocery stores trashing food in the face of people who need food. We have all seen links to Corporations that spend time to cut clothing before putting it in the trash. Some of us have even seen the unsold NEW CAR GRAVEYARDS.

We have an abundance of goods of all kinds for everyone.

I question why we trash excess.

It's well known they can only keep costs and profits high if the supply is low.

 

[westwall]

Yes, we do. However, "capitalism" is why we have the abundance. The problem is people. There is enough food to feed everyone. However, tin pot dictators and their minions, Mugabe as an example, and the corrupt governments they run (totalitarian in every case) squander enough food to feed the continent of Africa. Here in the states the supermarkets operate on a 2% to 2.5% markup, hardly a "killing".

I hate to break it to ya, but it ain't capitalism that's the culprit, it's asshole corrupt politicians and their minions the world over.

You do know you are posting there is an abundance and then blaming democrats for trashing excess?

As always, not sure you are knowledgeable about the subject.

Communism is the theory that there is an abundance of everything. You seem to think the Democrats are the reason America trashes things, why again?

"I hate to break it to ya, but it ain't capitalism that's the culprit, it's asshole corrupt politicians and their minions the world over" What you STILL haven't learned yet is who controls those politicians. I know, it's a process................but it's taking you WAY too long....

What other system makes more goods for a population to "improve" within their lives?

I did not blame Democrats, silly person. I blamed corrupt politicians (who overwhelmingly hail from totalitarian dictatorships) and their minions. You think that communism is the utopian ideal, and philosophically it is. However, when you are dealing with people, that means bipeds who walk on two feet, something happens to them when they are told they have to work hard but they don't get anything for their hard work...they quit. So your utopian ideal can never work because once again, we're dealing with people. Something you assholes can never get through your little pee brains.


Yes, the reality is if the world were run by communists, you would all starve. Communism DOESN'T create anything but misery for the vast majority of those who are forced to suffer with it. The wealthy elite at the top get to live very nice lives, but the serfs underneath....well, they get to be serfs.

Look it up.

What other system makes more goods for a population to "improve" within their lives?

We kind of gave up Industry when we signed NAFTA and both major parties wanted it.

Today China makes nearly everything. China is Communism by about 80%. Have you ever wondered what might happen if China squeezes sanctions on us like we do on other Countries? We outsourced our biggest worldwide strength.

Your perspective is comical. The rich are lazy (for the most part) and it's why they always want free labor, they haven't worked for anything.

We don't make many "goods" anymore.

I'll try to humor the readers and ignore that you do, always have and always will target Democrats and "The People" (Irony in his response).

I never stated Communisim is Utopia. As a Forum Mod you should read before you respond. I stated and always have stated Communism is when the Government owns and operates business. Socialism is when Government owns business and when THE PEOPLE run the business. Capitalism is when THE PEOPLE own and operate the business. It's basic and simple politics 101.

 

[AntiParty]

Let's take Australia for example. It's a corrupt Socialism just like our corrupt Capitalism. The source is exactly the same in both cases. Some may ask "How can this be when THE PEOPLE vote for wages in Socialism". Just look at America and ask yourself, do our votes really matter when the Rich Idiots are running the Country? The people have no say in either case and poverty follows and Welfare follows that.

The people in Socialist Australia vote for politicians that will represent them in their Wage opinions. They don't directly vote for wages, they vote for corrupt politicians.

Get a grip on reality, the government wastes hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money, more than all so call corporate waste combined times 1,000. When will you libs stop drinking the koolaid and focus on the real problem, government.

I don't know where you Live at , but I use to volunteer at a local Christian homeless shelter, a couple times a week I would do pickups at the local supermarket, ingles and Bi ~lo they would give us a staion wagon full, Piza hut would give us around 40 pizzas a Week, pantera bread would give us a shit load of bagels and stuff, long John silvers the same the local bread company a uhaul full of bread a week, the local Pepsi distributor 100s of cases of Pepsi products and on and on

The last I read Americans themselves are the biggest food wasters, like 30~40%?
Of food people buy at the local supermarket ends up in the trash

With regard to manufacturing goods, rejects can not leave the plant, due to lawsuits if someone gets hurt

 

[ralfy]

Capitalism does this because markets operate using price mechanisms, which in turn rely on what is profitable rather than what is needed.

Not if the demand is not there.... basic economics

Now if one is concerned with efficient use of resources,
a true free market is best

Anyone who thinks the gov't will be a more efficient user of resources
will be greatly disappointed.

Thank the ambulance chasers. If someone eats it and gets sick, the store WILL be sued.

People were finding it and "returning" it.

Foxwoods Casino used to send the leftovers from restaurants and the big buffet to a local shelter. Then, someone sued them because they got sick. (There was no evidence whatsoever he had even EATEN anything from there, let alone that it made him sick.)

It all went into the trash after that.

Get a grip on reality, the government wastes hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money, more than all so call corporate waste combined times 1,000. When will you libs stop drinking the koolaid and focus on the real problem, government.

^New people in politics don't understand Corporations (Industry) owns government.

I have made dozens of threads hoping they would catch up but it's not going to happen. If you are too bias to read black and white provable print, you will NEVER learn and you have already strapped yourself down as a party person.

^THE IRONY. Liberal means more of and Liberals in Government today want more of War. But the so called Conservative party keeps selling that we need more war.

Is your problem Term related? The Left proposed many budgets. The Right intentionally turned them down in an effort to paint them as a party that can't pass a budget even though The Left is the only wing to pass a budget in recent days.

Reagan couldn't pass one, Bush couldn't pass one, Clinton passed one, Bush couldn't pass one, then the Right voted down many proposals under Obama because if the Left passed another one it would just look bad on the Right. We have all seen the power veto lately. Statistics have it out of this world on Obama (The guy they say made everything bad but was really never allowed to do anything due to veto's. A Right Wing attempt to paint all of Bush's problems on Obama. Just remember the Obamaphone which was created under Bush)

Capitalism does this because markets operate using price mechanisms, which in turn rely on what is profitable rather than what is needed.

Products are only profitable if they are needed. Capitalism is the most efficient system of production ever devised. It's certainly far more efficient than socialism where waste is rampant.

I'm getting pretty tired of reading all the ignorant bullshit you post to the forum. I also notice that you never respond to anything I post. I suppose that means you're a coward who has me on ignore. From now on I'll be letting your idiocies have it with both barrels.
