Feudalism didn't, communism didn't, you may not like it but capitalism generally does work

Yes, this is what I mean. Capitalism works. It's also going to work for me when I get a decent job. And I like that a lot. But I simply don't like that way lawyers and economics are always abused. A very small group of people are getting all the wealth and the prosperity and the rest buckles under the presure to deliver more wealth and prosperity.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about the few good sides of capitalism, but it also has it's flaws. I know no system ever is going to be perfect, there will always be flaws and imperfections and unfair rules etc, etc, etc...
I'm going to be an egineer. You should see how much everything is coupled to money/costs/economy. When I design something I must obey all kinds of ****ty rules to comply with all the various economic regulations and requirements. All this neverending BS is not worth it to alter your designs so many times you don't even know if it's going to work. And all that in the name of ECONOMY!
I'm not a reactionaire, but that's why I HATE lawyers and ECONOMY. It al represents our unending desire for more and cheaper products that don't Last very long and are very ugly.

I hope you understand this GT. I really didn't try to piss you of or making an angry mod to burn down your house and throw you and your family into the fire or even worse, put you all in a room full with crying infants, I just gave you people (??) my vision on the whole matter.

P.S. I'm with you in the siege of the fake cantina! Death to the clone cantina!!
