It was proof that Northern Ireland’s health and social care system had “crashed”, said the 49-year-old.

Capitalists are all greedy scum. I desperately wish the world realized this.
They do, the problem is the ones in power are all in on it.
I dunno’, I still hear far too many people simping for the rich believing they all personally earned their riches and I hear far too many people still believing “capitalism” is just using money to buy things.
Ignorance is alive and well.
Yep.
I had a construction worker try to explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius who makes it possible for me to do my job (I work in the Space Industry, NOT for SpaceX) and I should be grateful he’s creating those opportunities for me instead of hating on him. He got really mad about it when I didn’t agree.
He got even angrier when I asked him why someone like him, on the lowest rung of the labor ladder, was simping like that. He had no answer though.
Really? No other system in the world has made so much disposable wealth that we actually have some sort of safety net. In most countries or in past centuries, a disabled person would have only his family as a safety net and barring that begging. Most did not live long.
Is not perfect. But if past indications are to go on, it will get better even if you have some back sliding.
Do not mistake the gains of technological advancement as the gains of capitalism.
Capitalism has everyone competing and protecting wealth. Capitalism gave us HDCP. Capitalism gave us the RIAA that hamstrung streaming music for YEARS. Capitalism gave us Disney, and Disney gave us a century long patent system that blocks innovation instead of blocking copycats. Capitalism gives companies vast wealth to lobby with. There are many ills capitalism promotes.
Capitalism is not using money and having companies compete. Capitalism is these businesses pocketing those vast sums of wealth they then squander to send to investors (who did zero of the work) or give to Congressmen, or simply pocket it with extreme executive pay and bonuses.
Literally EVERYTHING that’s good in the modern world, including technological advancement, is thanks to capitalism. If it wasn’t for capitalism, we’d still live in slavery in the dark ages.

Oh bS. The majority of gains have been exclusively from capitalistic countries. Capitalism gave us the luxury to create art like the such that Disney can provide.
Tell me what has the other models given? Theft of IP, Human rights issues, poverty, hunger and sometimes mass deaths. If you don’t like it, move to Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, China… Seriously move. I am sure at least one of those countries would take you.
If you had half a fucking brain, you’d realize most of the achievements of the US have come from communist like practices.
Who invented the internet? A corporation or the government? Who invented memory foam? Scratch resistant lenses? CMOS cameras? The list of NASA inventions goes on amd on and on, and they have a TINY budget.
Look at the internet. HTTP, JavaScript, HTML, TLS, TCP, etc, etc, etc… NONE of it is from corporations.
Fucking wake up and stop sucking capitalism’s dick. Capitalism gives us Reddit’s downfall and you’re on fucking Lemmy… Wake up and look around you.
And what have the Communists invented? Go back to your hole. Communist like practices. Lol. That is rich. Really you should move to a communist country. How many people have literally starved to death under those governments? But your only response is look at what came out of capitalist countries that I believe are the results of Communists in that country.
Really before you come up with these ideas, you need to first explain why so many people died of starvation in communist countries.
You are seriously beyond pathetic. Literally incapable of thought. How about you respond to everything I pointed out that capitalists didn’t invent instead of pretending you’re still correct?
Just because others have done horrible things under the LABEL of communism doesn’t mean it was communism that brought about those ills. Just like the Chinese Communist Party isn’t communist in ANY way except in their name. Though you are too ignorant and willingly stupid to understand history or nuance or how propaganda works.
Again, you are seriously pathetically incapable of thought. I guess that’s why you call Disney the pinnacle of capitalist “art”.
Yea… 500 milk toast, uncreative super hero IPs that they didn’t even invent themselves… They sure are the poster child for capitalism. You’re just too stupid to see how fucking shit they are compared to real art.
All you can do is insult because you can’t come up with any communist government or system that has not worked in any way but caused deaths. There was not alot of art diving out of the USSR. What a joke.
Don’t waste your breath, parasites gonna parasite.
Again, you are once again so pathetic you cannot even address the points I made. Have fun being a brainwashed worker drone.
