    Capitalism and free markets are two concepts on different dimensions. They have nothing to do with each other. They onky partly overlap.
    China clearly shows that you can be communist, capitalist and have a free market (albeit ruled by a one party, pseudo democracy)
    Europe clearly shows you can be 'somewhat socialist', capitalist, have a free market and be a democracy.
    For some strange reason the US formed their society by always picking the worst part of: democracy, free market, capitalism and 'no social system'.

    It is no longer 1789 or 1776 ... You are safe to advance into 2018!

  6. The US can not even agree with the rest of the world what 'capitalism' actually means.
    'Socialist' Sweden, France, Canada etc. are no less capitalistic than the US are ...

    If people can not even distinguish between 'political' system, 'economy' system, 'social' system, 'market' system and other concepts, but lumb a random selection of them under missleading umbrella terms, how can you even have a open discussion about stuff?

    Hint: what distinguishes america from china the most? They have one more party ...

    I believe that there are too many Democrats in the legislature, we should have a law that all political parties need to be represented equally.
    Why are you pretending to be ironic?
    Actually most countries in the world either have such laws or simply handle it that way by code of honour.

    The idea in the US, that a new government purges the administration from people who are in the wrong party or vote for the wrong party or support the wrong party, reminds us about soviet Stalin russia.

  15. That was meant to be: "There probably shouldn't be a law" !

  16. There probably should be a law, but SJW organizations that publish companies where females are not represented properly. Customers should know from what kind of company they buy.
    Obviously if a customer would care, s/he could inform herself ...

    Bottom line: there definitely should be more women in politics, and a company board is politics. That way we would get rid of astrosities like Trump, Putin, Erdogan and Kim ... and probably plenty other idiots and the world would be a safer place.

    Did no one realize that we are approaching a situation like in 1930 - 1950 where only insane people are ruling the most dangerous places on the planet?

    Why would that be the case? It does not make sense. Obviously I do the opposite, I increase my productivity, so I get more work done and hence more money, aka increasing my wage from $100/h to $150/h.

    The relevant rivers have hard set maximum temperatures like 26C or 28C, if that temperature is reached the plant will shut down completely.
