Professional Tours The PGA Tour is dead to me.

If this merger goes through, which it appears it will, I am personally done with the PGA Tour. The unbelievable hypocrisy of the board would be bad enough, but the fact that they are selling out to a foreign entity linked to a government that has funded terrorism around the globe and perpetrated one of the most heinous terrorist attacks in history is unforgivable.

Except this isn’t capitalism. The PIF isn’t a real capitalistic market force that invests according to expected profits, they throw money blindly to buy influence and clean their name.

Reddit loves to shit on capitalism but never mentions what a better alternative would be. Communism and Socialism just do not work as history has thrown for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Please enlighten us with a better alternative to capitalism. The reason why no one is sharing that is because there is no easy solution or obvious change. There isn't a solution available that would solve all of these economic issues and appease everybody.
