Uhm, what?
So the company selling my milk want me to drink milk, just milk and nothing but milk?
I thought one of the founding ideas of capitalism is that you can strike deals that benefit everyone. That you don't have to screw anyone over.
- paranoiacblack 13y agoYou're misreading what you quoted. I'm telling you that the company that sells you milk doesn't want you to drink anyone else's milk because that's how businesses work. They might sell some cheese too, but they also don't want you eating anyone's else's cheese. Also, perhaps that is one of the founding ideas of capitalism, but our modern day version is far away from that. Capitalism screws people over by the day in America.
- gizzlon 13y agoYeah, I understand, and my example was bad. Internet is such a big space (unlike milk) that if an Internet-company wants you to use their Internet-stuff and no-one else's Internet-stuff .. well, I don't know what will happen, but it can't be good. Capitalism screws people over by the day in America Finally something we can agree on
