Even billionaires are acknowledging it, folks. When 40% of Americans can’t afford basic needs, or a $400 emergency, the problem isn’t unique. It’s systemic. That’s not good for anyone. Even billionaires know they can’t shield themselves from this kind of perilous instability.https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1104933726432186368 …
This is why we advocate for: - Medicare for All - Tuition-free public college - Investing in dignified jobs that build our nation + get us to 100% renewables before it’s too late. These are investments in people, not profits. Corps aren’t incentivized to ensure people’s health.
Capitalism doesn’t work for most of us because of the greed of so many of the others, the top 1%. Why must capitalism be so unbalanced? How does one legislate against greed? Questions to ponder.

The beauty of capitalism is that it's a self correcting system. That's how markets work.... Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any system in the history of the world

This is not the fault of capitalism! Printing trillions of dollars to boost asset prices isn't capitalism! We need free markets & sound money that can't be printed. Why aren't you addressing this? It's because you are disingenuous - you aren't interested in genuine solutions.
If it was true capitalism. We would have lost Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan etc. Thru insolvency. But these clowns are seen as the backbone of America. Just like wealthy families. They must be protected. No they should have been allowed to go to the wall.
