Capitalism is cancer, no it really is. It’s a system demanding infinite growth in a finite system. What the fuck else would you call that?
I thought capitalism was just that the market should be open.
I didn’t recall any mentions of infinite growth.
There’s really no point arguing with someone who thinks in memes, and definitely not with someone who leads with “Capitalism is cancer.” But business does have a “grow or die” philosophy, which could be what the person means by misapplying the term “infinite”. The mainstream business world knows literally infinite growth isn’t possible - although many people in business don’t see or acknowledge specific limits, or think they’re so far away they can be treated as infinite right now.
This, they keep thinking profits have to go up indefinitely, so they raise it far beyond what can be reasonably accounted for inflation. Then they wonder why no one’s buying.
The idea that “people need to afford your product” doesn’t register to these clowns.
