    I see you have problems with reading comprehension, which explains a lot about the way you attempt to argue with people. Here’s an article that you won’t bother reading with lots of specific examples, focusing on the US, but applicable to all countries under financial capitalist regimes.

    It’s hilarious how you keep screeching for detailed and specific examples while you’ve already ignored detailed explanations you were provided. You haven’t made any actual argument here, no counterpoints, and just keep bleating how you “live in a social democratic welfare state”, which is what using buzzwords in place of an argument actually looks like.

    You’re utterly clueless, and you’re not fooling anybody here.

      So you are focusing on the US in particular. And no. All information here is not applicable to all countries in “the west”*

      The US has a long history of non regulatory practices. Yes. They have plenty of short sighted companies that thrive on short term high risk strategies to gain fast expansion to which they can then fall to for more controlled growth (at least that’s supposed to be the plan). Partly due to how bankruptcy laws and business loans are stipulated.

      The consequence of failing dramatically isn’t that severe. You can just try again.

      But this falls back to what you seemingly cannot comprehend. “The west” is not the US. The US is not “The west”.

      And US have plenty of companies that are very boring and engadge in long term plans where short term losses are accepted as part of long term growth. But like I’ve said. You won’t find them in your feed because it’s incredibly boring and normal. Just like you don’t read in the news about Jonathan that had 2 sandwiches for breakfast. It’s not newsworthy.

      You’ve offered very little explanation of anything. More akin to. “It’s this way because I say so, oh and its the underlying mechanic of all global trade everywhere”, I’m not sure why you’re trying to claim i don’t put in any arguments. There is plenty of them. But you elect to not adress any and default to some kind of insult because you have nothing to respond with.

      I’m not screeching for details. I’m asking you to provide any at all. You speak in these globally broad terms because hey, at least they will apply somewhere. But things are just not that simple.

      My reading comprehension is just fine. But if you have nothing but insults to strike back with. That says more about you than me.

      *I assume you consider all countries in “the west” and by “the west” I also assume you mean every country located west of Russia and North of South America. Feel free to correct me if that assumption is wrong.
