Your problem is neither capitalism nor communism.
Your problem is greedy cunts. Both systems will end up putting them in charge.

Kind of has a point that modern “communist” systems in practice seem identical to all the bad parts of Capitalism.

That’s because people who aren’t greedy don’t seek that kind of position.

Phrase I picked up from Well There’s Your Problem: centrally unplanned economy.
One company, Baxter, makes 95% of the saline IV solution for the US. Most of it comes from one factory in Marion, N.C. It has been hit by natural disasters before and caused shortages. One happened just this past few months.

I donate plasma twice a week and there were rations for the past couple of months on saline. Instead of getting refilled with saline after the donation, we had to eat gold fish drink and drink a Powerade before the donation and drink a Powerade and sit for 15 min after. Last week was the first time they started doing saline again.

Tbqh the saline is only necessary because a lot people aren’t sufficiently hydrated in the first place. That Gatorade did basically the same thing on a ~24 hour delay.
Ofc, that’s easier to say for people with a decent amount of blood volume in the first place.
