I am not interested in talking with people regarding issues where they choose to remain ignorant and delusional. The desire to know the truth has to come from within and can't be thrust on by others.
Darwinian economics at it's best, huh?
Thus capitalism will also seek to maximize more clean air, more clean water, more livable land etc. etc. If an utility increases in quantity, its cost of acquisition falls so that more people can access more of it. That's the goal.
Pure common sense. When I go out to buy a shoe, I am looking for the best quality and best deal...not the general welfare of shoe makers. The latter part has to be done through legislation, proper use of taxes etc.
So...you buy bread after considering the wellfare of the bread-makers and weighing it as much as the quality/pricing of the bread itself?
Actually you don't. What is buy is based on labeling that was made through legislation. Those labels are additional markers of utility to the consumers. (like brands). You yourself are not looking at the wellfare of the coffee makers, there is a socially legislated system that is doing this and informing you of this action through labeling.
No, it really doesn't. Not if everyone involved in shoe-making had a say in how the shoes are made and sold. The buyer has a say ONLY when he has the option not to buy. (This is not so for a great many of the items we now have to buy, to live, like energy, communication, transportation and health care.) And if the laborers need to have a voice in the shoe-making business's management (which they do not currently have, at all). And if the community has a say in how the business effects them and their environment (if their government representatives have the authority to enforce their will, and are have not been corrupted by the wealthy and power the business generates). When that wealth and power are well distributed among all those involved in the commercial enterprise, everyone's well-being will be represented. But when all the wealth and power rests in the hands of the capital investor, as it does in the capitalist system, they are able to ignore the laborers, cheat the customers, and bribe their public representatives (as is now the case all across America) to enable them to do whatever they want: which is always to amass ever more wealth and power. And use it to further corrupt government and further exploit everyone else for even greater profit.
But that would not be "capitalism", then. It would be some sort of limited, socialized, capitalist hybrid.
Another person that has no science education heard from. What "flaws" are there in the theory of evolution? And of course AGW is support by data. Where do deniers get these crazy ideas deom?
No, the current version is a distorted version of capitalism.
Simple, just like a greenhouse in your backyard.
The problem with that source is that there is no real explanation. Of course the background that I tried to lay so that the concept could be understood was immediately rejected before we even got to how the Greenhouse Effect works. But then when one does not want to face reality it is best to deny it early rather than find oneself trapped.
I had to find a simple source, I started at the 4th grade level. Baby steps.
