Ah yes, the old frog in boiling KFC gravy metaphor.

I'm not saying there aren't critiques of capitalism. Emerging markets reap the benefits of growth and established economies enjoy no such advantage. I'm not sure what to do there, but the alternative is worse. Until a better solution is available you're going to have compete.

Big fan of capitalism, but only we compete. The nobility at the top has set it up so they don’t have to compete.

What nobility? Look at history. Every generation has its mega corporations and robber barons. All the “nobility” of your grandparents age is gone, A&P grocery, Montgomery Wards, etc. Look at the richest American list of 1970 and the same list today.

Where’s the nobility? Where’s the entrenched power structure that cannot succumb to competition? Look at Zuckerberg right now, fighting for his professional life.

Put the kool aid down.

Zuckerberg is not going anywhere. That said, it's been a long time since we've had a feudal society. Look at our upward mobility rates. We are headed in that direction.

[Speaker to Animals]

Manorialism.

Feudalism is the natural human form of military organization according to subsidiarity.

In medieval Europe, the military was feudalistic and the economy was manorialism.

Manorialism is where you organize peasants and serfs under property owners.

We could replace our current world order with feudalism and nothing really would change in our economic lives. Probably be better off, really.

Communism in the beginning was a bit like state-wide manorialism. They divided the nations into communes that locked workers in to the land much like medieval manors. We'd definitely have to fight against that.

[DBTrek]

Ah, right. Right. I forgot. Just like slanted metrics have been used for years to show a perpetually weakened dollar (as we all bought more and more stuff at increasingly inexpensive prices), OTHER oft-cites reports claim we have less economic mobility than serfs toiling under Manorialism.

You know, Manorialism where 1 of 7 peasants were millionaires. It’s just like that.

Look around you and stop listening to the Cult of Victimhood. I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know from day to day observation, I’m just asking you to stop drinking the poison that envious and petty people push on you 24/7.

Don't tell me you are falling for that? He wants and dems want regulatory capture. Sure, he may be hampered but he already made his money now what he wants is to snuff out any competition in the crib.

[DBTrek]

... and the previous captains of industry, titans of economy, and robber barons didn’t want the same?

Wanting isn’t getting. The numbers don’t lie. The lists of America’s wealthiest don’t lie. Look at the turnover.

Well, it's not quite KFC level, but the gravy hot tub is gonna be sort of warm, one would think.
