Hi all,

I’m seeing a lot of hate for capitalism here, and I’m wondering why that is and what the rationale behind it is. I’m pretty pro-capitalism myself, so I want to see the logic on the other side of the fence.

If this isn’t the right forum for a political/economic discussion-- I’m happy to take this somewhere else.

Cheers!

    The US is the largest global economy. How is it that free healthcare is a thing even in developing countries?

    A few days ago my grandfather used an ambulance and the total cost was $0. I live in a developing country.

        And yet, I’m not going bankrupt after someone in my family used an ambulance.

          Oh, US healthcare is messed up. That’s a 100%. Still doesn’t mean the so called free healthcare is the solution.
