    The free market is much more efficient and better for the public.

    I think we can all agree privatiation of pretty much everything didn’t work out that well

    “Having money is nice, I want to have a lot of money because I love spending money, and I want my personal freedom regarding the way I spend my money. I work hard for my money, and so do others. That leads to innovation and progress and is the only way to preserve freedom. Therefore, I support capitalism, and therefore, I am a capitalist.”

    Probably not the most, but:

    “Capitalists are job creators.”

    The jobs will exist with or without them.

        I think it’s stupid as much as anyone who’s not gen Z, but to claim it’s not real because it’s not something I can understand is a little boomer-like. Guess we’re doing the whole “everything from my childhood is how it should be and the previous/next generations are stupid/misguided if they disagree” shtick.
