AOC Gives Her Definition of Capitalism

[pknopp]

I just said that. Capitalism has evolved. Why doesn't AOC understand that?

If they would still do it without regulations, they have not evolved. As I noted, many go overseas rather than abide by regulations.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Absolutely. It's why many go to China. To avoid the costs of operating clean.

Or our regulations are so ridiculous that they have to move out. There is a limit on everything you know.

I just said that. Capitalism has evolved. Why doesn't AOC understand that?

She takes the narrow view. I suspect it appeals to the anti-capitalists. I don't know if you would actually call them socialist leaning. More likely just the young and clueless. But, sometimes hard to tell.

I deal with reality. Unlike Dims I do not live in a fantasy world. Capitalism is regulated in America. Why is AOC too stupid to understand that?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Ms. Cortez has a degree in Economics from the elite Boston University. I'm sort of surprised they didn't revoke her degree with this kind of statement.

Are you kidding me? Every time they announce AOC made a statement, the professors of that school cringe with embarrassment.

Yep,

Dingbat AOC tells us all what her definition of Capitalism is in an interview with Yahoo Finance. Here is the key quote: "So to me, capitalism, at its core, what we're talking about when we talk about that is the absolute pursuit of profit at all human, environmental, and social cost."


There are so many things I could say in response to this quote but I will it to you. Discuss.

AOC is just pissed because 'capitalism' is responsible for that horrible dress she was struttin'

I think she is a Marxist. Her view of Capitalism is straight out of 19th century Das Kapital.

An empty statement.

She is stating the same thing I am.

Without regulations our rivers would still be catching on fire.

With regulations, they would still catch on fire.

Large law firms would make more money.

Business will often try and avoid regulations.

An empty statement.

Not at all. One of our customers who's business was growing moved out to a street that was barely drivable. They moved out there to build a much larger facility with the ability to expand. After they got the place going, they looked into buying the property right next to them. Everything looked great until the government told them they couldn't build there. They deemed it wetlands. I have no idea how they rated that property wetlands. It was a wooded grass area of land where if we had enough rain, would get muddy.

But they stopped the business from expanding in the future, and had they known that beforehand, they would have never moved there in the first place. However their new place was very large with about 55 docks. It was too late to pack up and move again.

Any sane business would.

Why pay a bunch of outside lawyers for doing nothing?

I'm not interested in your made up anecdotal examples.

Well there you go.

Not made up at all. If you're from this area then you might know where Avon Ohio is just west of Cleveland. That's where they moved to.

Yes it's made up. It's all you ever supply. Made up stories.

Indeed.
