No. We are swinging to the other side and soon we will meet in the middle and balance out. And society will still be shit. 97% of the pop will still be average losers.
@allaboutyou2 that was true in the past, the times have changed. There’s nothing free about the fact that today Americans are the most overworked developed nation in the world.
The U. S. is the ONLY country in the Americas without a national paid parental leave benefit. The average is over 12 weeks of paid leave anywhere other than Europe and over 20 weeks in Europe.
At least 134 countries have laws setting the maximum length of the work week; the U. S. does not
Americans work 137 more hours per year than Japanese workers, 260 more hours per year than British workers, and 499 more hours per year than French workers
We are free to decide whom we work for, the while concept of capitalism is if we aren't happy with our employers conditions we are free to leave and work for another employer whose conditions we approve of. Absolute freedom.
Technically no, if we don’t like the conditions at your workplace than the only other option is to be homeless. Getting a new job is not that simple, it’s also not a viable option for most people.
Capitalism also isn’t the only economic system that allows that so it’s not like it’s unique.
Capitalism offers people the illusion of choice, the illusion of freedom.
There is no federal laws requiring paid sick days in the United States.
Using data by the U. S. BLS, the average productivity per American worker has increased 400% since 1950. One way to look at that is that it should only take one-quarter the work hours, or 11 hours per week, to afford the same standard of living as a worker in 1950 (or our standard of living should be 4 times higher). Is that the case? Nope. Someone is profiting, it’s just not the average American worker. This isn’t freedom
I have had the freedom to change jobs to improve my situation multiple times. Being dictated to by a government is far from freedom. The government is to blame for spending our tax dollars on special interest groups that give the politicians a kick back. There is nothing wrong with capitalism, the problem comes when only certain people in power benefit from capitalism. The system is being manipulated by corrupt politicians.
@007kingifrit countries in Europe that have implemented paid family leave are doing Way better than America. That’s an empirical fact
While America spends about 11 percent of its national income on social programs, France spends almost double that amount ; Nordic countries spend even more. Relative to GDP, Europeans spend more than five times what Americans do on unemployment insurance and other labor market programs. Not only do Europeans spend more on social programs, they also regulate more in attempt more or less successful to protect workers against business interests.
The differences between the US and Europe and in particular those concerning social protection and welfare is their beliefs. 60 percent of Americans believe that the poor are lazy ; where as only 26 percent of Europeans share that view.
Capitalism is failing, it worked in the past but it’s not working today. That much should be obvious to you if you’re working class in today’s world.
countries in Europe are not "doing way better" they are collapsing. their systems will not exist in 10 years. the birth rate in Europe is so low they won't have the tax money for most of these systems soon
but you know? im not against paid family leave. you want that? ask for it. don't screech about capitalism
capitalism isn't failing. the world is better than ever with a lower % of people in poverty than ever
you want to help the working class? ban immigration
@doopayo I was born and grew up in Europe, I can tell you first hand it is way better here. That is why I choose to live here. Maybe those that think Europe is a better place to live should probably do what I did and move.

Yeah like the old society was way way better
I'm trying to go back to the 1900s. We disagree on that one.
@PoliteSpeaker Your pfp basically contradicts that statement
I'm not trying to go back the 1900s*
Globalism
I think you understood what I wrote regardless of the typo? Anyway what does my pfp have to do with me not wanting to go back?
@PoliteSpeaker It's your typo mistake.
The past 40 years of Reaganite BS

Without capitalism there is no freedom to enjoy. Capitalism isn't a modern concept but the driving force of development.
Ah yes we didn't enjoy our lives before selling our soul to a megacorp

What is free about that exactly?

nothing you just named is a problem with capitalism. you just want paid family leave. just say that
also; don't compare america to other countries. those countries will fall apart soon enough BECAUSE of their lavish social spending

This is the result of the “innovation and efficiency” capitalism gives us

The fast fashion industry is responsible for 10% of our carbon emissions,
85% of all textiles go to the dump each year
Capitalism is not the answer to innovation and advancements. It’s going to make us end up in a corporatocracy.
