No one seems to know

well go and make something and give it away for free then
No point making memes in the theoretical idea that someone in the bronze age invented a product and didn't expect any profit by making them for other people who wanted them too... go put it into practice

Yeah, the Bronze Age would never have been nothing if it wasn't for an eye on the stock market.

Innovations in science and technology tend to be linked to profitable economies.

It's not an accident that the center of science and technology in the modern era was the Middle East up until the 16th century when the Silk Road dried up. Then it took off in Europe when shipping trade replaced it. Remember Portugal? Remember Spain? Yeah, no one else does either. Once they ran out of stuff to steal from overseas, that was the end of their ride.

England was a hub of creativity.... till it became a nub of itself after WWII.

The United States of America managing to take off after it was found out that there was gold in them thar hills and then the advent of oil after gold and silver mining withered is not exactly coincidental. Add to that massive acreage of agrable land and other raw resources, and BINGO! The number one economy in the world.

Once the Ogallala Aquifer starts dipping really low.... well, let's just say that the Cannibal Riots of 2065 weren't pretty. Or won't be.

- oh, wait, you didn't hear that.

But capitalism is what helps you get that item out to the public. Which allows your product to get out to more people and be more successful.

that isn't exclusive to capitalism

Do you know about barter and trade?

No, necessity and an advantage inherent in the invention is what gets it out in the public.

Inventions were invented long before Taylor Swift's latest album's drop on the MP3.

I saw a comic called the techno-fight where one technology creator was a capitalist and the other one was a socialist. The socialist one ended up being more successful despite having less money

So you're not going to return the cell phone that capitalism made possible for you... got it...

labor made it possible

capitalism only gave me a website I can barely use because there are too many ads

capital built the factory... try again...

I saw a comic called the techno-fight where one technology creator was a capitalist, and the other one was a socialist. The socialist one ended up being more successful despite having less money

LMAO... a comic... that explains it all...

If Capitalism is the worst economic system, why did a united Germany chose capitalism, then thrived?

define success

Me

East German GDP 160 billion vs West German 1.0 Trillion before reunification

gdp affects elites. humans could actually do fine with a lower gdp

An uninformed elitist would say

So….totally illogical unimportant information. Whatever you’re watching, it ain’t helping.

There are ads because of capitalism. Communism would never have developed the internet, let alone conceived of it.

Yes they would have excuse me

True mankind made booze long before capitalism.
And China just developed a solid state sodium based battery for cars that mite actually outperform lithium batteries. Either way at least smaller equipment like phones will no longer need rare earth minerals.
