  1. It's a totally unnecessary, unsustainable, and environmentally destructive method of production. A method that only exists because it consolidates power and control over production into the hands of the owners of capital. As opposed to the rabble, workers, or governments.

  2. That's how capitalists function. They want socialism for themselves and rugged Capitalism for you.

  3.  @nickym5698  The billionaires that control non public products for transportation pay millionaires to tell me adequate mass public transportation would be a spooky socialist communist system of China Islam.

  4. Duh. American Colonialism is applied to the U.S domestic population.

  5. Profit will destroy everything around it before surrendering even a penny to the filthy public.

  6.  @Ehralur  But my Hummer H11 Earthquaker makes me feel like a MAN™. Sure it only get 2 miles to the gallon, but you can't put a price on safety. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go buy my daily liter of soda, some cigarettes, and lottery tickets so I can hit it rich!

  7. Yeah but that's fine because the owners of PE don't live in rural areas. -Modern economics

  8.  @adamheuer8502  Utterly delusional view of the point of a hospital.

  9.  @wingracer1614  Lol that isn't a problem for places more rural than Murica who also have way less money. You don't have adequate mass public transportation because your ownership class can extract more money from you if their products are the only realistic way you can travel.

  10. ​ @casforelda yeah cause there's no way that could end badly

  11. Good thing the owners of U.S production spent decades shipping production to nations with more exploitable workers for the sake of profit. But that's fine. It's not like the military needs microchips or quality steel for anything.

  12. It's pure maddess made in defiance of the god Poseidon.

  13.  @jasonhaven7170  Slavery has never ended in the U.S.

  14. It's galling that Kansas had better mass transit in 1890 then it does today

  15. You own nothing so people with more money than your entire bloodline can see a line go up. That's not jealousy. It's a disgusting misallocation of resources.​ @WillieFungo

  16. It also kills vast chunks of the rest of the living world. But that's a problem for someone else.

  17. There is still lots of squid. They like climate change, for now.
    31
  18. Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of modern economics, and the cancer cell.

  19. Well knowing that reality I'm sure you and the systems that govern you have made provisions to ensure stability after a major storm. Right?
    29
  20.  @WillieFungo  That's not how the system works. New wealth gets funneled up to the rich at your direct expense. That's why wages have been stagnant since the 70's despite all the new wealth brought by computers.

  21. ​ @RM-el3gw Found the Murican

  22.  @WalterOtterly  But I just KNOW those inter city crime gangs will take public transit to my house in suburbia to steal my Billy Big mouth bass collection!
    22
  23.  @ImaSpacePotato  Go take your Pinker neoliberal BS back to whatever suburb you fell out of. Ask Iraq how much more peaceful the world is for people like you. That point is to B is 8000+ miles because it keeps power in the hands of a minority of already wealthy people. Being self sufficient has literally nothing to do with it. International trade is corporations looking to skirt labor laws by finding the most exploitable people possible. That's it. Go take your strawmen and shove them where your head clearly already is.

  24.  @WillieFungo  The U.S has lower economic mobility than every other OECD nation.
    18
  25.  @BaphomentIsAwsome666  Exactly. The point isn't to be rich. The point is that people in the richest society on Earth shouldn't have to worry about having access to basic shelter, food, and healthcare.

  26. Spending on par with WW2. To impose American imperial violence wherever capitalism demands.
    17
  27.  @RetroDawn  Capitalism isn't a monetary system
    16
  28.  @nah5511  It's not just money. Businesses lose money doing these moves. The intention is to maintain power. Which pools money in the hands of whoever holds the power. Even if it means less overall money is generated.

  29.  @mfk5533  Go tell that to the child slaves that grow your chocolate. Maybe it will inspire then to toil faster.
    15
  30.  @ImaSpacePotato  "You participate in society so you can't critique it" classic Mr. Gotcha right there. The solution is to give all workers basic workers rights and protections. Then your ownership loses their one incentive to ship production across the globe.

  31. Imagine is America cared enough to have this massive far reaching infrastructure for high speed rail.

  32. Wendover Productions already knows your location
    14
  33.  @bartholomewdan  All that costs is a bunch human lives you'll never care to know and causing the worst environmental crisis our species has faced that will destroy human civilization. But at least it made a few already rich ghouls less accountable to the slaves who make the profits they steal. So totally worth it.

  34. So once the Queen finally dies Hong Kong goes back under China's control.

  35. They all get the wall.

  36.  @GCOSBenbow  America has islands of wealth surrounding by oceans of poverty
    12
  37.  @bartholomewdan  Go tell Iran to start making nuclear power plants. While you are at it try and remember the deliberate search for wage slaves anywhere on Earth by your ownership class is the only reason this convoluted and inefficient system of international shipping even exists.
    12
  38. That is literally how electricity and internet infrastructure works. The free market doesn't care if rural people have access to things.

  39.  @WillieFungo  Truck drivers make less money today than they did in 1970.

  40.  @georgesmith4768  Laughs in bunker fuel and the magic pipe.

  41.  @thoughtsofapeer  Lol the "you are part of the global elite so how dare you point out any of the unsustainable and unjustifiable Exploitation that system deliberately cultivates" Gambit never works. Also those wages slaves want worker protections. Which they will be murdered for if they try to get them by the system you think my ancestors corpses are grateful for. If you think those petty luxury's I have are anything close to worth the cost in human lives(and also the literal planet according to those scientist types the system actively keep from power), you drank too much neoliberal coolaid.

  42.  @ImaSpacePotato  I'm glad we both agree you are shit at arguing. But it's not your fault. It's not your argument to begin with. You are just repreaching the neoliberal gospel charlatans like Pinker propagandize at your class. Global trade? The environmental unsustainable practice of current International shipping only exists because your ownership class wants to find the most exploitable slaves on the planet. That is totally unjustifiable. If every worker on the planet had even a handful of the worker protections your nation claims to. International shipping as it is today would not exist. Also if you think your "current way of life" is something worth maintaining. You haven't bothered to do an honest introspection about all the absolutely unnecessary BS that makes up your current way of life.

  43. Empire gotta empire

  44.  @sek4446  Exactly. Amazon employees need to pay to piss in bottles so Bezos can afford to dock the mega yacht supreme in a European port for an F1 race.

  45. I like how you wonder

  46.  @Lybrel  How's that corporate boot taste?

  47.  @georgesmith4768  What a long winded way to say "My masters want to wastefully use resources to serve their own interests and I refuse to do anything about it".

  48.  @papabeanguy  Economics today is a religion to the Lord God called markets. Deliberately blind to power and only promoted thanks to immense funding from the wealthy ghouls that benefit from mainstreaming that religious vodo.
    9
  49.  @papabeanguy  It's dogmatic lies that use math equations as a paper thin cover. A cover to specifically claim that entrenching power and wealth into the hands of the already wealthy and powerful is just science and not a blatant resource grab.

  50. On the plus side. The Mediterranean will get another couple of yachts out of your increased costs for worse service.
