- philipallstar 19d agoCapitalists are the ones who allocate - and risk - money to attempt to solve problems like this.
- tclancy 19d agoYeah and we wish they would stop. Because solutions like this are something the system optimizes for.
- philipallstar 19d agoThen we wouldn't have anything that's hard to create and/or requires risk.

- jodrellblank 19d agoImagine claiming undue credit for the works of Euler, Einstein, Michaelangelo, and hundreds of huge Cathedrals all over Europe, while disclaiming the constant bailouts from the taxpayer so that Capitalists never actually risk or lose money, and being blinkered to the fact that 'money' doesn't solve hard problems or do hard things, workers do. Manhattan project? Taxpayer funded. Concorde? Taxpayer funded. Walking on the Moon? Taxpayer funded. What are you talking about.
- philipallstar 19d ago> so that Capitalists never actually risk or lose money If you think capitalists never lose money then you're not on this planet. Obviously money is lost all the time. There are lots of investors, lots of companies, and few winners. This is mad. Of course bailouts happen, and they're done by the state. Capitalism would let them fail. > hundreds of huge Cathedrals all over Europe In this case the church was the capitalist. They risked the capital that paid for the cathedral. Although it was fairly low risk, as building a cathedral is pretty well understood. > Manhattan project? Taxpayer funded. Concorde? Taxpayer funded. Walking on the Moon? Taxpayer funded. What are you talking about. In this case the state is the capitalist, although it's taking the money by force rather than with a risk/reward voluntary investment. The worker isn't doing this by him/herself.
- jodrellblank 19d agoCapitalism is not "when someone pays for something". By that logic when the USSR launched the Mir space station in 1986, because the state paid for it that made them capitalists. > Capitalism would let them fail. and yet ... Here we are. The state paying for things is Capitalism, and the state paying for this isn't Capitalism, in the same comment.

- NoboruWataya 19d agoShe had a science/engineering background, more than marketing. Engineers can be frauds too.
- qsera 19d agoMarketing by definition is fraudulent because it is all about creating a fake need.
- lelanthran 19d agoDidn't she fail out of science/engineering. Can I claim to have an medical background if I failed the first semester?
