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!

    We’re ~ 5 degrees from mass crop failure and famine, and that’s pretty well documented.

    “Billions of people having crappier lives” is a weird way of describing starvation.

      Because the models don’t support your statement.

      Billions WILL have worse lives due to this. A very small subset of that will be because they are on the verge of starving.
