I deleted burgerking from my phone. They used to have 2 whoppers for $5just this year. Now it's $12 and they include 2 little tiny boxes of fries. 3 times I've shown up on time and they wouldn't give me my food. Had to wait several days for a refund.

Value apps are: taco bells $5 now $5.99 cravings box with 10 cent upgraded drink. Popeyes 2 can dine for $9. McDonalds 2 quarter pounders for $4.89 + 2 large fries for $2.49 under the shareable tab. Or jack in the box munchie meal with 2 extra tacos and whatever coupon they have. Alternate between these and you should collect a ton of points for free food.

This doesn’t even make sense, CEOs don’t make up their own pay and increasing taxes on corporations wouldn’t necessarily make them cut costs by reducing CEO pay, what stupid liberal twaddle for a stupid liberal like you.

At least the right wing explanation of immigration lowering the price of labor makes sense though it is still incorrect, fact of the matter is that CEOs get paid that much because they are worth that much, the value of managerial talent has simply increased to that level.

Yes I do, it is a much more reasonable explanation that CEOs are simply worth their pay than there being a massive conspiracy to steal from all the shareholders in the world. Even if there was a conspiracy, is that actually an argument against capitalism even? If a corporation is just trying to maximize shareholder profits for better or worse and that is your argument against capitalism then it logically follows that everything a corporation is doing is to maximize profits including offering big money for competent CEO services.

Again, at least blaming immigrants is logical and follows the timeline of the wage gap.

Lmao, just lmao, you idiots have no idea how objectively horrible the soviet union was, like horror movies cannot even compete with living in the soviet union, read the gulag archipelago homie. Even if you don’t attribute the horror of the soviets to communism/socialism you should at least want to investigate it to make sure it can’t happen to you and can really be explained away as a coincidence. Communism destroyed the russians as a people, punishing hard work and intellectual honesty as far as systematically genociding it, more than bad shit happened it was the worst shit of all time. Russia was also feudalist before the revolution, not capitalist.

The US government spends more than half the GDP btw, that means we are more socialist than capitalist and you can blame our problems more on socialism if it must be the fault of the system.

Great argument there fucktard. The market isn’t about your feelings, maybe you consider that an argument against the market but it still isn’t a conspiracy. It also isn’t even fair, if anyone could do what the high paid CEO does anyone would.

Let's use McDonald's here since that's both a favorite scapegoat for anti-capitalists and also familiar to all the fatasses on /ck/. The math also works out easier for 4:00 AM.
McDonald's has the second-highest ratio of CEO pay to average worker earnings: $20m for their CEO in 2021 versus roughly $9,000 average worker pay. (Keep in mind most of these workers are not full-time but that is irrelevant)
OK, so say we give the CEO a 1% pay raise. That's $200,000 extra per year.
Let's take that $200,000 and spread it among all McDonald's employees. How many employees do they have again?
Well, in 2021 it was... roughly 200,000.
Congratulations, you just gave everyone a $1 (not 1%, $1) yearly raise.

Too big to fail isn’t even a thing, massive companies fail all the time (yet another plothole in anticapitalism rhetoric). Usually when you people say too big to fail you mean to big to let fail as in the government will bail it out, not that there is any consistency to your beliefs beyond a desperate shameless stupidity. Idk if you are obliviously thinking that anything you can’t make for yourself must be a monopoly in the market or that they can only put the screws to us on necessities (or if even you know exactly what you are saying) but here is the rub, monopoly is not real. The idea that private monopolies are something to fear is an invention of politics, before the turn of the century the term monopoly was assumed to mean a company that was in bed with the government and cheating the free market. Monopolies are not actually possible in a free market, even if you are so big you can sell at a loss for years and put all your competitors out of business it would all be wasted effort as soon as you tried to cash in and people start undercutting your price hikes. Even cartels don’t function, someone always undercuts their fellow monopolists in secret to get ahead.

Monopoly fearmongering goes back to teddy roosevelt, a puppet president for JP morgan. Roosevelt was married into his family and the rough rider cowboy image was created by him for propaganda. Teddy roosevelts war on trusts was actually just JP morgans war with rockefeller that had started decades earlier over the transportation of oil. Not only was it ridiculous and hypocritical with teddy even saying there are good trusts and bad trusts, it was entirely unnecessary since standard oil had lost the vast majority of its market share already to increasing competition, so much for standard buying everyone up and becoming the only oil company as the commie narrative suggests should happen. There are men who famously got rich off of rockefeller when he was trying to buy up the market by just continuously building refineries for him to buy out, that is another argument against monopoly I think, if it ever did exist you could just become a property developer for it lol. Also, if monopolies are an issue, it is still preferable that every industry will be operated by its own monopoly than for one single overarching government monopoly to control every industry, so you need to prove not that monopolies are a problem but that they are a problem because one day they will all conglomerate into one, and once you have proven that you would have to convince me why your arbitrary seizing of total control is preferable, after all at least the monopoly earned it.

Milton Friedman put forth the idea that this is the ultimate result of the liberal agenda and social democrat politics. By half assing communism you are just making it harder for new business and competition to enter the market and big business grows since it is best equipped to deal with all the regulation and social demands, meanwhile opening the floodgates on regulation lets lobbies for these businesses push regulations in their favor that are casually explained away as being for the greater social good.

Trickle down economics is a valid concept because all taxes, whether they be on corporations or other countries in the form of a tariff, just come down to the consumer, it isn’t like you are taxing extra profit they squirrel away, the less money taken by the government the more goes to competing in the market ie lower prices and more higher quality goods. Ideally there should be no taxes at all, it is theft and government is wasteful and useless.

It is absolutely conceivable that CEOs aren’t worth their pay, and that they practice an inefficient means of boosting shareholder profits by stripping a company to a skeleton crew and lowering the quality of materials used/generally lowering the value of the product (or are simply doing the best that can be done in the degenerate society around them). Maybe that is just what appealing to the lowest common denominator means (and maybe taxes lower that denominator further). Point being it isn’t a conspiracy and that the market actually prices CEO wages that high. If there were a problem with CEO practices the freer the market the faster it would be solved.

I don't know why people make up this crap. They're hiring their neices and nephews, their friend's sons. They're not hiring talented people. There's a reason it's the same people over and over again in these positions. Every time you see a "CEO's" work history, it's being the CEO of multiple other companies.

Disingenuous. McDonalds is worth 195 billion dollars. Divide that by 200,000, and each employee gets 975,000 dollars. Prices either need to lower or salaries need to be higher. 20m divided by 200,000 is 35,000. You'd change lives if you gave each employee 35k more a year.

CEOs or whatever these people call themselves are not doing any back breaking work like they used to. These companies are essentially monopolies and they are all connected. All the owners know each other already, they're not at each other's throats. CEO should be making a couple of million a year, and the rest should be used to bump employee salaries by 15-20k a year.

>When you have billions or trillions of dollars you have an obligation to benefit and aid society.
No you don’t, they already have, and they will continue to do so. Their money isn’t just hoarded, it goes into investment ie the creation of new capital and this is where the prosperity of capitalism over other systems comes from, the superior efficiency of the entrepreneur to account for the needs of the market as compared to a peoples statistics bureau (it is by no coincidence that socialist governments have gone by this name) and just as well the superior efficiency of the free man to choose his vocation rather than dealing with the communist problem Lenin termed “who, whom” or as modern economists call it “who goes to siberia”. Who does the harder work, but even deeper than that who will be best at the harder work, this is the greatest reason communism doesn’t work, it simply cannot account for the vast natural processes of economy. Unknowable variables.

You also can’t do an inheritance tax or it all falls apart for this reason, with no way to pass on their legacy people will have no incentive to continue building their wealth past a certain amount they can use in their life time and thus less investment and less capital and less real wealth as a society.
>When you don't, you should be fairly paying your employees, not throwing money at your CEO, VP, board of directors, etc.

Minimum wage lowers employment and is a two fold problem that means less people working for more and less people earning for more expensive goods. Minimum wages origins in the US are from unions demanding the government pay a certain rate for contracts since black owned businesses were outcompeting them on bids, not exactly a pretty history. The economist WH hutt has a great book on how unions created apartheid in south africa as well called the colour bar.

The problem with society today is with the monetary system and other government involvement related issues. The fed literally exists for the express purpose of decreasing the value of your money and to raise the price of goods to match the rate at which they fall naturally due to increasing efficiency and industry competition. You are being stolen from so that you don’t save money, and the perks are the government has a viaduct for money printing for anything including pumping the economy full of cash to turn around a recession for the benefit of an upcoming election and making the next recession worse ad nauseam (that’s where we are now, nauseam).

Not at all lmao. The waste one is easy, calling for free market waste management has always been low hanging fruit for the libertarian and that is kind of what they were known for in the 60s and 70s. Private waste management already exists and proves the theory that government does everything more expensively and less effectively than a business can. Medical emergency services are already private obviously. I am aware there was supposedly a private fire station in new york that was a disaster but actually the government was still involved, some boomer wrote that in a really bad book recently about how covid is proof libertarianism doesn’t work lel, I’m sure you can figure how much that argument phases me. Fire stations can be private as a subscription service as a form of insurance, and even if you don’t subscribe they still have a responsibility to put out your fire as a hazard to their subscribers, or at least the company that gets the most business would take on that responsibility in order to get their business (e.g. turn of the century industrial boiler manufacturers sharing legal liability with their customers in order to get their business). Actually as a matter of fact insurance companies would probably morph into the free market emergency services, including police. One reason this will be better is because of the restitution focus of anarchist law, there would be no prisons to store prisoners, all crimes would have to be treated transactionally and guilty would be sentenced to repay the victim at the threat of blacklisting and ostracization from the charging court and its customers, which could be very painful indeed. Anarchist law will be decided by the free market like anything else, courts will market their system of law and in all likelihood a system heavily biased towards freedom would emerge.

In theory, with good evidence, this should all be cheaper to pay for than taxes due to private sector efficiency through harder budget constraints and the superior price accounting of entrepreneurs, as well as businesses not passing the cost of their taxes onto the consumer.

It doesn’t have to be an evil plan by businesses it can just be economic determinism, the existence of a government is like welfare for business, breeding laziness and rewarding failure. This is especially true when you have nationalized banking. Socialists on the other hand.. definitely just elites trying to secure their position which is inherently insecure in capitalism where generations of nouveau riche constantly rise up and replace the old crust.

Socialism is a complex problem, Carl Jung and Nietzsche identified the collectivist as a scared and powerless individual living in a post God world seeking society as a new religion and government as a new god. Jung believed the death of religion was the birth of anxiety disorders and that humanity lost a precious cope with mortality and infinitude of existence and Nietzsche wrote his philosophy for a future people living in a now totally godless world, for certain men to find it and become the ubermensch and rise above the leztzermensch who were coincidentally described as socialist in character. Nietzsche also talked about true world beliefs and identified christianity as platonism and believing in this reality as just a stop for an immortal soul, and likened it to socialism and how they believe we don’t live in the true human world. As Marx said, communism is the end of history. That is probably deeper than I can put into a 4chan post, let’s move on.

Then there is the intelligentsia and their predilection to socialism, Thomas Sowell has a fantastic book on this called vision of the anointed, and Hayeks iconic road to serfdom sheds some great light on the subject too I highly recommend them both. One thing that needs to be understood is the ancient relationship between intellectuals and the government. As Hume pointed out, no government can exist without the support of their people, even the soviets needed propaganda, and to accomplish this the state has maintained a relationship with the intellectuals originally in the form of the priesthood and now in the form of college professors. The state subsidizes the existence of the intellectual and forces them to have prostate intellectual opinions, lest they find themselves out of the job. There is a certain person who is right to be hired as an intellectual, and that person is the smarmy dim witted socialist. This is why economics has always been a troubled science despite being so simple, its conclusions have always been fundamentally anarchist.

Collectivism is amorphous, there can be an infinite number of collectives, blacks, women, gays, etc and therefore it is a perfect tool for manipulating the public. It should just be obvious that communism is an elites wet dream because if they pull it off with them in charge they never have to worry about displacement ever again and it is completely arbitrary to centralize power to deal with the threat of capitalism.. centralizing power.

The private sector is absolutely more efficient than the public sector, this is actually why communism doesn’t even work ever no matter how bad you might want it to. The private sector has budget constraints, superior pressure creates a superior product, and it doesn’t try to solve its problems by throwing even more money at it, and more importantly is the impossible task of price accounting of the market which means an inability for communism to even address the needs of the people with all of the means.

Welll ackshually it would be much better to be under monarchy than democracy as far as our health wealth and rights go. There is a little known but easy to understand concept in economics called time preference, basically instant vs delayed gratification. The child has a very low time preference and wants instant gratification, the middle aged person has a very high time preference preferring to save, and the old person reverts back to wanting instant gratification in the time they have left and they spend more money. This is the explanation behind why loans exist and why outlawing usury would be depriving people the right to act according to their preferences, it also takes away peoples ability to capitalize on opportunities if they don’t already have the funds and would make it so only retired people can go to college.

Anyway, this concept also applies to how people behave with something when they are renting vs when they own something, and well in terms of rule the president vs the king is like renter vs owner. The president is not invested in the future of America and Americans, they aren’t his. He just has a temporary lease, and beyond keeping the opportunity to earn a second his priority is to fleece the people and put forth as much policy as he can. The king on the other hand owns the country and the people, and with that comes an implicit agreement about respecting property rights since it is property rights that give him his position over us. The king cannot over tax the people without damaging his own property and future value of his stock and must strive to maintain more economical taxation schemes and so taxes will always be higher in democracy.

Anarchy can save the planet even by solving this time preference problem. As it stands now, governments own natural resources and lease them out to bidders, the leaseholder then has no incentive to protect the resources as opposed to extracting as much as they can in their allotted time, whether it be clear cutting or overfishing. By allowing all the property on earth to be privately claimed including the oceans, which could be done with the same common law system used by the pioneers, we can actually protect the earth since it would just be everyone maintaining the integrity and value of their own property, at the very least this should translate to safe zones for fish to repopulate the oceans in the property of high time preference owners.

This is a chicken/egg problem.
What's actually happening here is that people have so much disposable wealth and so little direction in their lives that they don't mind doing stupid shit with the money they didn't earn and don't value.
I mean I'd rather skip a meal than eat at BK or McDickhead's, if I was sitting in the parking lot with coupons, and yet there are people who, given a service where they can have food delivered from any establishment in a 30-mile radius, choose to pay triple the price to eat it.

Wages are not the problem. The problem is there is an excess of jobs which do not produce or spread material wealth, and act more as a drain of resources than a producer of resources. If we had more people growing food, food would be cheaper. If we had more cotton and tailors or industrial machines, clothing and industrial goods would be cheaper. When you have more office workers, you receive more.... Paperwork? There's plenty of jobs that are of low value, and yet overvalued due to the vital and sometimes not so vital aid to capitalist centralization they provide. There's whole pseudo-industries that did not exist at all during the industrial revolution. Insurance, for example. Something that, in many cases, you're legally forced to pay for.

Also, having a monopoly on their field is the end goal for every capitalist enterprise, because then they can force you to pay whatever they want. Capitalism does not always give you more freedom of choice. If you cannot afford the choices, the choice does not exist at all, thus you are in actual fact a member of a tiered society, not a free citizen. Choices are privileges, not rights, and capitalism does not discriminate between an illegal, legal, ethical, or unethical dollar. It's only law and goal is whoever makes the most money wins, the model of capitalism being a universally uplifting or freedom and rights-respecting model is so thoroughly debunked just by paying attention and asking the people around you how they survive. Medieval peasants had better diets than modern first-world citizens, and there's several statistics of communities in europe, africa, and asia of average height going down once communal village systems were disbanded and capitalism installed.

I have always been naturally inclined to freedom, been capable of using logic, and recognizing when something is arbitrary, so it is big mystery to me why people become leftists in general but I can forgive them for not understanding that monopoly isn’t possible in a free market. I was basically a libertarian before I even understood that, I just believed in the sanctity of competition and if it did end in monopolies it must be for the better, but yes monopoly is in fact not possible without government granted privileges. Mind you if industries do tend to monopolize it is absolutely still preferable to centralization since it would be better to have 2 monopolies than 1.

There are a lot of problems, wage laws are one of them. One wonders if you are going to bother with a minimum wage why not just go all the way and set prices, and as I have explained minimum wage has an ugly history of being pushed by unions to cut out black business that was undercutting them. A union hardly differs from a monopoly if you think about it, it is a workers cartel. Make work is hardly a concern bud, go back 100,000 years and you can find humans doing highly economic activity for the time period that would be considered waste today. Or even just 150 years back to the days of candlemakers. The market has every ability to correct for useless work, and communism is absolutely not going to have an efficiency edge over a free market.

I’m sure everyone wants to charge others anything they want for a product or service only they can provide, the idea is to get rid of government so nobody can.
>Capitalism does not always give you more freedom of choice.
I see what you are saying but I have to disagree, capitalism will always give you MORE freedom of choice. You might not have all the choices, but it is better than no choice at all and complete slavery. You realize that is what you want right? You want to be a well taken care of slave. Also capitalism has solved this problem it is called loans.
>It's only law and goal is whoever makes the most money wins

Not surviving doesn’t debunk that it is a free society for starters those are opposite and opposing values (safety vs freedom) for which you must give up a degree of one for a degree of the other. Pretty much all politics comes down to this debate between safety and freedom with most people not falling all the way to either side. Surviving is not your highest value either, if health was the only concern of everybody then there would only be 3 industries, gyms, organic farms and healthcare, and everybody would spend their days filtering between healthy eating exercise and doctors visits. And nobody would smoke cigarettes. Most importantly, we don’t live under free market capitalism, capitalism is the untried ideal.
>Medieval peasants had better diets than modern first-world citizens, and there's several statistics of communities in europe, africa, and asia of average height going down once communal village systems were disbanded and capitalism installed.

I suppose I should be fair here and defend immigration. For starters I will debunk needing to even fear immigrants to the first world since more economic development is by necessity less economic opportunity so in a world that isn’t all topsy turvy like ours immigration would be a 1 ways street out of the first world. Marx was anti immigration, in the sense that he was anti emigration, believing that the person who leaves the country is a rebel and traitor and can only be allowed to do so naked after having given up all their belongings to the commune.

Oh I could have expounded on the ingenious of open borders. We could theoretically end government world wide peacefully with open borders, borders and the monopolization of their population is the absolute crux of government. A dissolution of borders for private citizens would result in a sort of free market for the industry of government, they would only be able to tax you so much before you decide to hop the border and offer your economic activity to the government that will tax you less. It is for this reason that state income tax in the US can never reach the heights of federal income tax, people would just hop states. By bringing real market competition to the worlds governments we would see them all slowly dissolve as the useless and inefficient organs of society they are.

Otherwise government could be overthrown the same way it was the first time, a rapid evolution of private economic activity that explodes beyond the reach of governments and forces them to adapt, like the industrial revolution. I do not call for any sort of violence or revolution, it would not be libertarianism if it came out of that.

If you did this everything would just revert back to how they are. It isn’t something that is difficult to accomplish either.

Just make every company public, then distribute the stock of the company among the workers. Of course it wouldn’t be fair to spread it equally among the guy who has been there 20 years and the guy who came on last week, not to mention retirees of the company should be entitled to their share of the company too, but I digress. So you give the stock of a company to the workers of the company. What happens then? They eventually sell their stock of course and eventually you have to redistribute the wealth all over again.

Bezos did not exploit his workers whatsoever, he gave them the opportunity to make money. Not exactly a huge fan of bezos, since he makes a lot of tax money. Libertarian class theory, from which Marx actually plagiarized his own class theory right down to the line “history hitherto has been a struggle between…”, claimed that class struggle was between net tax payers and net tax consumers. Elon musk and jeff bezos represent the tax consumer class.

The other night I had a dream or an idea I can’t remember about a prosperous capitalist society that was technically a monarchy but the bloodline had become so inbred and incompetent that it literally could not put forth policy or collect taxes. The retard king was protected from court intrigue by some sort of libertarian religious cult praetorian guard ninjas who maintained the property rights of the king and thus maintained them as a figure head keeping society without policy. The kingdom could even have been taken over by neighbors during the reign of the retard dynasty but every invasion failed thanks to their being no real government to force into submission and invading was the kingdom was the historically impossible task of bringing martial law to a foreign peoples. The cult would merely remove the king and reinstate him as soon as the invasion failed. Maybe the bloodline is failing to reproduce at this point because of the extent of the inbreeding and the cult is grappling with the impossibility of maintaining things without breaking their oaths of noncoercion but the young and ambitious mc convinces them to just go public with the emperor having no clothes and everybody accepts that they don’t need a king and life lives happily ever after.

no working together or cooperation is necessary for one gas station owner to look across the street, see that the Mobil there upped prices and decide they should up prices to to match it.

You make the fallacy that capitalism/capitalists will always look out for the common good, or that exploitation does not exist under capitalism, which is clearly observable in the world if you've ever worked more than two jobs.
>it is better than no choice at all and complete slavery. You realize that is what you want right? You want to be a well taken care of slave
Explain to me how a man who cannot afford both housing and food and yet still works is any different from a slave. The reality is that unless you have a certain level of wealth and are unbeholden to anyone for your income you are de facto a slave. Owning means of production, being independent, and having sufficient capital(regardless of the form it takes, industrial machinery, land, animals, crops etc) is a requirement for non-slavery. If you simp for capitalism without all of these things you're simply a slave with delusions of independence. You make the argument that a poor homeless man under capitalism is more free than a man earning a living wage under any non-capitalist economy. That's simply ridiculous.
Furthermore, you've put words in my mouth and saying that I'm arguing for things I'm not arguing for. I'm not making an argument for anything, I'm just pointing out the obvious flaws in your presumptions and method of thinking.

Exploitation does not exist under capitalism. The equivalent of calling me a child does not prove that. The absence of the capitalist is not an absence of exploitation but an absence of opportunity.
>Explain to me how a man who cannot afford both housing and food and yet still works is any different from a slave.
Well he could be retarded, he could have no arms, there are a lot of reasons a working man wouldn’t be able to provide for themselves, I suppose being a formal slave is one, of course none of us are formal slaves. While we are on this topic why don’t you explain to me how income tax isn’t slavery, if the government can take some they can take it all, ergo income tax is really the nationalization of income and what you make is merely what the government decides to let you keep. Don’t even get me started on conscription. I can also blame government for all homelessness, if it weren’t for government regulating construction and laws for landlords there would be something for every budget. But what about the retard or the cripple you might ask, well charity is not something that is absent in capitalism for starters, but also the most economically efficient system will be the most technologically advancing system and will sooner free humanity of these unfortunate realities.

The requirement for nonslavery is freedom, not safety, freedom and safety are polar opposites and the idea that we require a freedom from scarcity is completely disingenuous as well as a retarded pipedream that goes against the laws of physics.

You're only changing the amount of profits, not removing the incentive to make a profit.

In an alternate timeline with worker owned cooperatives, Bezos would have still founded Amazon and still make fuck loads of money himself, but at X point in the business when it reaches economic "critical mass", it converts to a worker owned cooperative and Bezos either cashes out for a substantial amount of money or stays on for a still substantial wage, as a fellow worker-owner.
