It has produced much good, but because it created *so* much good

2019-09-09 21:58:07 UTC  

It turns into bad

2019-09-09 21:58:10 UTC  

But Capitalism allows people to move from one class to another and rewards ingenuity and self-governance.

2019-09-09 21:58:16 UTC  

Not anymore

2019-09-09 21:58:18 UTC  

What you say is accurate

2019-09-09 21:58:26 UTC  

Class mobility is at it's lowest for over 2 centuries

2019-09-09 21:58:30 UTC  

Currently

2019-09-09 21:58:37 UTC  

Because the poor are actually getting richer

2019-09-09 21:58:45 UTC  

Class Mobility was at it's highest during the war and post-war economy

2019-09-09 21:58:46 UTC  

Yes the rich are getting richer

2019-09-09 21:58:54 UTC  

But the poor are getting richer faster

2019-09-09 21:59:05 UTC  

Not anymore

2019-09-09 21:59:09 UTC  

No.

2019-09-09 21:59:12 UTC  

Currently.

2019-09-09 21:59:18 UTC  

Stats please?

2019-09-09 21:59:31 UTC  

Lower class workers have the best life conditions that have existed.

Observe this troubling graph

2019-09-09 22:00:01 UTC  

Corporations have intentionally kept wages low

2019-09-09 22:00:06 UTC  

I know.

2019-09-09 22:00:15 UTC  

Even thought productivity has increased

2019-09-09 22:00:21 UTC  

Corporations need to be checked

2019-09-09 22:00:39 UTC  

But as a guy who owns a corporation and provides low income housing.

2019-09-09 22:00:48 UTC  

Your article talks about developing countries

2019-09-09 22:00:49 UTC  

Corporations are literally the best avenue

2019-09-09 22:01:00 UTC  

You’re talking just about the west?

2019-09-09 22:01:09 UTC  

Yes

2019-09-09 22:01:11 UTC  

K

2019-09-09 22:01:47 UTC  

Then you might be accurate. But observe why. Poorest areas are SF, LA, and Seattle. Which have instituted massive socialist policies

2019-09-09 22:01:54 UTC  

Do you know why class mobility was the highest during 40's and 50's?

2019-09-09 22:02:00 UTC  

So what would you prefer to free market?

2019-09-09 22:02:13 UTC  

Back when Capitalism was at its all time high.

2019-09-09 22:02:16 UTC  

(Good) Labor Unions.

2019-09-09 22:02:28 UTC  

Labor Unions secured massive benefits for workers

2019-09-09 22:02:36 UTC  

Nowadays theyre just as corrupt as corporations however

2019-09-09 22:02:36 UTC  

Unions themselves have to kept in check though.

2019-09-09 22:02:40 UTC  

Yeah

2019-09-09 22:02:51 UTC  

But the answer is Labor Unions, they are the check for corporations
