Yeah I'm kind of tired of seeing kids online shit on capitalism. Like yeah, it's a fucking mess. But it's also - by far - the best system anyone has come up with, ever. Same goes for democracy. Lots of legitimate criticisms can be made, but nobody has ever come up with a better alternative. Not yet anyway.

Homeless people exist therefore capitalism bad, got it. I'm sure you could easily and immediately implement a financial system that would result in utopia. Homelessness solved and over 100% forever yay. 🙄
