I don’t know where you people get this concept. Humans are the issue, not capitalism. There’s literally no functioning system of trade without capitalism. It’s just human nature. We are greedy and we want more than others so that we feel secure in our own future. It’s not fucking rocket scientist, and it’s not fucking capitalism.
Do you really Envision a world where everyone works equally and gets paid equally and nobody makes extra profit but somehow people are happy? That doesn’t sound like any of the humans I’ve ever known, even the nice ones. You need to be a little bit more realistic and get your childish ass out of the playground.
We couldn’t even get people to wear masks to not kill each other and you’re over here holding your breath for agapelandia lmao
There are no casual factors between wealth disparity and cost of living, and if anything an extreme enough wealth disparity lowers cost of living - serfs had a very low cost of living.
Not sure why you felt the need to insult me, but I assure you I need no further life experience to recall historical facts
There are innumerable functioning systems of trade without capitalism. My point is capitalism is intrinsically violent and wasteful. War is profit. But there ARE mutualist, communalist, and voluntary approaches to labor as well just to name a few.
I also have to point out that the gold standard in the case of USD is effectively maintained by a obscenely expansive worldwide military presence which can’t be a good thing long term and how about that ongoing pandemic we don’t talk about? How long can we as species get away with ignoring the real, big, systemic problems? Capitalism is NOT fixing them, and won’t.
Regardless you’re real mistaken, I don’t envision some perfect world, dont accuse me of naivety- I’m a tired, jaded anarchist, not a communist. Anyways I am truly sorry you’ve only ever known assholes… I’m not holding my breath for anything just speaking my mind, and maybe I change someone’s, at least I tried

Did you read the article?

You can’t make long ass statements like this witbout even reading the reasons cited in the article through government data.
The cost of living is a capitalist concept.
No, it isn’t. Lol
There are fundamental costs to human survival and those costs must be borne out somewhere. Hunter/gatherers also had a cost of living.
Animals foraging resources in nature is capitalism mannnnn
The things people choose to believe never cease to amaze me.
The rising disparity in wealth is a result of capitalism.
The cost of living is so high because we’re funneling as much money as possible to as few people as possible.
Every day it gets worse, and this is by design.
Disparity in wealth does not impact cost of living. That’s nonsensical.
Wow. I’m sorry you believe that.
Either you’re trolling or woefully ignorant about the world around you. Either way, I can’t communicate with people like you.
You need more life experience.
Goodbye.
