This plan only costs you your humanity. You probably weren't using it anyway.

Just sending some warmth your way in the tiny way I can. Hope things get better for you.

Is that particular combination special?

Ah, thanks for the info. That's actually what I suspect is happening with the new fractional shares thing, but the brokerage is the one retaining control.

I mean, some (most? Idk) of the means of production are owned by the state (ostensibly a proxy for the people, I'd rather it was more direct but the government has consistently high approval so I'll give it a pass) and those are clearly socialistic.

But there are certainly factories and what not owned by capitalists, and as that accounts for much of the production that goes on in China, and as these products are not destined to serve the public weal but rather to be sent abroad as bits and bobs to be sold and promptly thrown away as serves global capital, I really don't get the desire to not call this capitalism.

China, to me, has a very clear mixed economy with elements of both socialism and capitalism.

Yup. Great article about that and many other failures of capitalism here if anyone wants something to share with a fence sitter in their life.

At least my profs who had their own textbook sold them cheap.

And still letting Comcast set the prices

Are we really denying that the "Chinese Characteristics" of the PRC's "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" is Capitalism? Btw, I think the good parts of China are the socialism bits.

Even if we accept the other points, a mistake is still morally superior to an intentional action. What the fuck is with this argument?
