@SageOfLimitlessHands you said, "Well money does equal power in a capitalistic society."
you are taking a dig at capitalism, trying to claim capitalism is the problem, it's not. Money is power no matter the system, so long as there is corruption.
The US is currently Corporatist, not capitalist. Corporatism is when corporations bribe the gov to pass laws to squash competition (occupational licensing, safety laws that merely prevent small startups from competing and offering a lower cost higher quality product or service, lobbying the gov to get favoritism in contracts, buying votes, etc.). This is anti-capitalist behavior that is leading to teh wealth inequality that we see, and it's becoming Socialist in the process, where teh gov controls the economy and tells people what they can buy and sell, rather than letting the consumers and markets decide for themselves (freedom). And as socialism and corporatism grows, so too does the size of gov. And when gov gets too big, it becomes inefficient and impossible to avoid corruption, and even more so impossible to root out that corruption.
You implied this is the fault of capitalism, when this is the result of gov failing to enforce capitalism, and bailing out corporations and banks rather than letting them fail.
But this money corruption exists even without capitalism, and is less prevalent when capitalism is enforced properly (and the US gov has laws on the book to enforce capitalism, but hasn't enforced those laws in decades).

right? grab food when driving to/from another place, such as work or running errands.
Even better, stop eating out at all and learn to cook. FAR faster, FAR cheaper, FAR healthier.
I can make 2x 10inch pizzas for ~$2 each in only 25min (grabbing ingredients out of pantry to first bite). And they taste far better than restaurant pizza and is better than "gourmet" pizza dough. the dough recipe i have from my Mom requires only about 4 ingredients.
I can make a simple, large, juicy cheeseburger in less than 5min (grabbing ingredients to first bite) with as little as 3-4 ingredients, but i can add things like pickles, onions, mushrooms, lettuce, etc. at will. and for FAR cheaper than fast food burgers. Far larger, far tastier, far healthier, far cheaper. And they cost me no more than about $1.50 each (at current prices in 2024). I can make a burger in less time it takes to go through a drive thru.
I have multiple chili, and casserole recipes that are so cheap and easy to make that you could feed one adult for 30 days with these recipes on as little as $25/month (at current 2024 prices). I spend 20min making one recipe on average, and that dish will last me 7 days if I'm the only one eating it. 20min of cooking per week per dish, at $25/month is AMAZING! It's not hard.

Homemakers are not "unpaid". The money they save the family in childcare costs, food bill, education costs, and other overlooked benefits (a good homemaker can actually boost their spouse's social status, netting them better pay and promotions for example), psychological support, etc, has real value. It's not a paycheck type of job, but the value provided to the family is very real. Their pay is reflected in the money saved, and in the overall improved quality of life. Things you can't buy with money, homemakers provide.

@dr.dylansgame5583 Capitalism didn't fail to do its job. Gov failed to enforce capitalism and instead chose to line their pockets with the wealth from corporatism instead. It is not a failure of Capitalism, but of gov failing to uphold the law. Gov is the entity that pushed consumerism on the American public in the 1950s, but their consumerist propaganda campaign actually started back in the 1920s after WW1. The gov wanted to grow the economy faster, but Americans were content with what they had and didn't seek more. So the US gov employed the propaganda machine they'd created in WW1 to trick the US population into being consumerist. The gov Manipulated the free market, and have since failed to uphold anti-trust and monopolistic laws and protect the little guy. The gov creates barriers to entry in creating new businesses, and in getting jobs, that big corporations lobbied the gov for. Regulations like occupational licensing are about restricting who can do what jobs so people can get higher wages, groups like the Doctor's Union in the US that are a private entity that can strip away a doctor's medical license at will, and that artificially restricts the number of medical doctors in the US to drive their wages up. Private non-gov entities that control who in the US can legally cut another person's hair and such nonsense. FDA being almost wholly funded by big pharma corporations, and thus beholden to them. None of this is capitalism, it is corporatism, in which gov has surrendered its authority over to private entities.
