"It's companies vs people"

Exactly! I wish, more people would realize that

The role of commercial policy in politics is to keep private companies under control not to do them favors. That's to ensure, that #capitalism is not unleashed. That's the duty of the state towards its citizens. Because capitalism, at its core, is an Ouroboros that would devour itself if given the chance.

Money is finite. The world is a closed system. In order do make huge amounts of money, you have to take it from somewhere. You do not generate this money out of nowhere.

Let's say, there's a rich person who owns a company. Said person has the role "capitalist" and the goal "make profits". So, making profits here is neither good nor evil in itself (I don't like it and I dislike the person for being profit-driven, but that's not the point here), it is just what a person in that role does.

In this episode, I play a song by Doctor Deathray; for once I had time to do the show and no mojo to do one; I always predicted that my golden years would be on fire; talking to people seems harder than it used to; we went to a murder mystery dinner; grampa is making life so much harder than it needs to be; it sure seems like publishers are bad at business including publishing; Nathan Lowell’s podcast is back; Nate only reads indie published books; can we agree that Bean Dad was the most harmless internet flareup?; I don’t care about the McElroys or Maximum Fun; the American left is great at policing the people who aren’t lefting the way they like; Warren Ellis seems to have crafted a second act.
