The country is run by leaders. Presidents, congressmen, etc. how is that concept so hard for you to grasp?

Under socialism, the leaders, government officials, and corporate leaders who strike deals with the government get the money. It's a system that makes everyone poorer unless they have a connection to get favors from the government. But don't take my word for it - go do your own research. It's been tried time and time again and hasn't had a single successful implementation.
In reality, capitalism is simply the belief that people have the right to do whatever they want with their own property. Capitalism isn't an "ism", it's simply freedom.

I need to become a faster reader. I listen to audio books because reading a physical copy is such a time commitment for me.

You just don't understand socialism. The poor don't benefit from socialism. Only the government and the people who strike deals with the government. Socialism fails 100% of the time. Do some actual research.

That's not the greatest picture of her, but yeah - she's definitely worthy of being the new Star Wars princess.

Explain. Because the way I see it, if a god or multiple gods exist, then he/they wouldn't be creating 3000 different religions and saying in each one that only that one was true. It's simply a logical argument, and I'm not sure where I am shooting myself in the foot, but I'd genuinely like to know if you're seeing something I'm missing.

typically it only asks that question if what you posted is in fact a repost or closely resembles a previous post.

Well no, he doesn't really have a point. If any of the religions are real, only that one can be real. They each exclusively rule out the other religions. If you decide that you believe god or gods exist, then you gotta figure out which religion is true, because it can't be all of them.

Actually, Shkreli didn't even own a patent on it. There was no competition simply because it would cost millions and millions of dollars for another company to get the FDA to allow them to make the exact same unpatented drug. The drug was selling for five cents in other countries that didn't have to deal with the FDA because there was still competition in those countries. It was entirely the government's fault (and the fact that Shkreli is an asshole who took advantage of it). But it was nothing near capitalism nor hyper capitalism. It was overwhelming government regulation. It was exactly what Bernie sanders preaches. It was socialism down to the letter.

Some comment threads need to be made into tv episodes. This is one of them.

I can honestly say I've never had a game of monopoly end anything like this. Monopoly isn't a violent board game. Risk is a violent board game.

If you think capitalism is what caused this, then you're clearly not aware of how producing medicine in the US works. The FDA regulation is what allowed him to raise the price that high and get away with it. He had no competition because the government is so deeply involved in the industry that competition can't survive. That's not capitalism. It's closer to socialism. If capitalism truly existed, it never would have happened because there would have been numerous producers of that medicine, and their prices would have all been much lower than his, nobody would have bought his pills, and he would have just lost money by doing that. Keep blaming capitalism if you want more Martin Shkrelis in the world.
