Yeah, she based her heroes on the psychological traits of a child-raping serial killer by the name of Hickman. And she liked about this man precisely that which qualified him as a sociopath. I'm afraid you should get a little help from someone who can point out that not only are her "heroes" not heroes, they are equally as depraved as Hickman. She was also a racist pig. She also took government assistance while whining against government. She was a pathetic excuse for a human.
@KellyAnnOR Pinto... it was recalled because it failed in the market place. pretty simple. Corn syrup? it is a good sweetner and better for you than the artifical sweetners out there. I don't think that Corn Syrup is really a problem with capitalism.
@KellyAnnOR Capitalism is not perfect. That is very true; we are dealing with humans and their frailty and failings. But this system overall rewards those with ingenuity, and innovation. Those that can fill a need of the market will be rewarded. Those that stagnate will be selected for bankruptcy. Competition drives actions and rewards those that compete well.
@KellyAnnOR Part 2: People are far more mobile now and can easily move from employer to employer. The key is to develop, possess and maintain the skills the employer needs. If you sit around and expect a high paying job because you want one you will find yourself very disappointed. Self Reliance and Self Improvement.
@KellyAnnOR Part 1: Reduced competition? Have you driven anywhere in America or the world for that matter? We now have more choices for all products than any time in the past. There is more competition in the market than any time in the past. We have less monopolies, and also far less pollution. Companies know if they do not act as good corporate citizens, they will be selected for bankruptcy. They know they must treat their employees well or their trained labor will leave.
@KellyAnnOR Part 2: When these companies fail (and they should) their business will go into receivership and broken up. they have failed in the marketplace and their continued existence drags down the economy as they are less efficienct that others. Their use of capital is not in the best interest of the market and they should be selected to go out of business. What you get that end are better companies, filling a need of the market better and taking more prudent risks.
@KellyAnnOR When we removed the consequences, we helped destroy capitalism and our market economy. These companies made investments and we removed the ability for them to loose, so risk assessment was skewed. They made even more reckless investments knowing they would be bailed out. We should never bail out any company, and we as a government should never guanentee a company's risks (loans). It skews capitalism and you get bubbles.
@Riellysdad Very true. The gov't forced banks through the CRA and the DOJ to make loans that never should have been made. Then Freddie/Fannie come in an buy out the loans after the bank makes the loan. You want to stop a housing bubble - let banks make loans to those they think will repay them, and do not allow the Government to underwrite any of the mortgages. They will make better choices.
@KellyAnnOR But if a company that does not fill a need in the market will not sale any products no matter how "evil" their board of directors is. Capitalism is about maximizing profit for the owners and they do this by filling a need in the market that is not being met by someone else. It is about as efficiently as possible meeting the needs of the market. This is a win-win for everyone. Better products, more diverse products and lower costs.
