Let's say we have enough computing power to do so.

Let's write a computer program that perfectly allocates resources.

I've been tempted to go watch it

The Marxist Dream Machine!

I can't argue on the base of "what if there was"

Cuz you can apply that to anything

"What if there was no corruption"

But I don't really watch movies much

It's like a classic Monty Python film.

There's even a python in it.

What would it do? It would just end up simulating a free market economy.

A complete redundancy.

Well no, they want the ability to curb stuff they don't like

That's the whole point of it

And, anyway, we use plenty of algorithms to predict market prices already.

Yes, but stuff they don't like is part of the market.

I don't like that people spend hundreds of dollars on a Britney Spears concert.

But that's not a failure of capitalism.

It's a moral failure.

It's your mom's failure.

Lol

No disagreement there.

😨

You can't talk about me mum like that.

Take it back.

people spending hundreds of dollars on Britney Spears concert is capitalism at work

Actually, that's one of the things people miss.

Okay, I take it back.

>moral
It's just shit taste

We spend more on entertainment than healthcare.

Phew.

But somehow healthcare is the problem.

Your mom is a powerful and strong womman. Stunning and brave.

Its the very definition of capitalism,

People work, put in labor, and get paid,

And then spend that money on what THEY wanna spend it on.

Free market at work

I am Canadian so I disagree with that assessment

Even though I think if you stopped someone in the street if Hollywood or the hospital was more important, almost all of them would prefer the hospital.

You saying scribbles mom is a liar?

Yes, but Canadians don't count.

Which assessment?

You can't talk about me mum like that either!

We keep you savages up north for a reason.
