That's only because that's how our financial system has been built in the past. We're trying to buck all sorts of bad economic habits from the past, like unregulated capitalism for instance. If we make some changes such that more people have access to good housing, people don't privately hold land property, and people have secure means to pass on wealth, that would be ideal imo.

Capitalism is the worst system in the world.

Except for all the economic systems.

So, name a better existing economic system.

You're trying to start a hardly-relevant argument. Capitalist evangelism is silly. I said unregulated capitalism is bad. You have no decent argument against that because you know working children to death is bad.

By the way, our capitalist system is a regulated one.

I don't respect you trying to start an argument with snappy one-liners.

We don’t have unregulated capitalism outside of the shadow economy.

Pretty much every country in the world is some form of mixed economy with capitalism as one of its components.

You're ridiculous. I KNOW. That was my point - that we don't do unregulated capitalism anymore because it's bad.

Why talk to people if you just type stream-of-consciousness without listening to what people say?

By the way, since you're gung-ho, go ahead and list and correctly define some non-capitalism economic systems. I constantly see many people (conservatives) talk about various economic systems without understanding what they are, so you can certainly understand my question.

I was not asking for information for my own good. I was quizzing you because I doubt your knowledge and wanted to judge whether I should keep talking to you. So your wikipedia link does not help.

But you started doing weird stream-of-consciousness comments that only vaguely relate to what I've been saying, and it's impossible to have a convo with someone who does that.

And I’m not going to waste 20 minutes typing on my phone when I can just link the information.

You missed my point completely, so why did you decide to reply? It's like you're cleverbot

Why are you unable to accept that using the less labor intensive response does not mean I don't understand it.
