Your disdain for the preferences of individuals is disgusting. A parent with a child with diabetes is only going to worry about their next iPhone? Capitalism has also lifted billions of people out of extreme poverty over the past century, whereas socialism continues to destroy prosperity. I guess that’s just “fickle egos”, right? What’s food but a temporary need.
Your refusal to recognize the role of government interventions into the market, however, is dishonest. The state of medical care in America, for instance, is the result of government tax policy distorting how we use insurance. At this point, the distortion has gotten so bad that simply stepping out of that paradigm yields amazing results.
You are fundamentally incapable or unwilling to honestly engage with ideas.
