Sure unbridled capitalism is the way to go as there has never been starvation under capitalism.

And that’s why the Americans (Trump) are deleting regulations. Because regulations will cost the Oligarchs money. They’re sending innocent people to El Salvador. They’re stopping food regulations, they are spreading lies about inoculations that save lives. What is the point? They’re decreasing the population. Why are they doing this? There’s going to be no one left. (I’ve had one too many martinis)

One thing people forget is that it was Big Food that wanted regulations.

After the book came out, it was almost impossible for American companies to sell their products overseas. Teddy knew that slapping a government label attesting to quality would mean that American companies would be able to make big profits.

The U.S. won’t need regulations once the last of its trade partners gives up on it. We’ll be free to eat all the domestic lead and asbestos our dear masters deem necessary to feed us.

So wait, are you telling me regulations actually help companies, too?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

Well, it could in the long ago past, but we've outgrown the need for things like regulations, Unions, privacy...

No /s, because that's what MAGats are already saying.

We used to add formaldehyde to milk too. Seems worse than chalk to me.

The capitalism we have NOW is actually killing people.

The death and exploitation of the majority is inherent in Capitalism. For the few benefits of such a heinous system of greed as Capitalism to outweigh the overwhelming harm of the system, a strict regulatory system is essential, with real penalties exacted for violating them.

I feel like there's at least one country who is going to learn this shit the hard way.
