    “Capitalism is when pay money for things. I am very smart.”

    Jesus Christ, I am begging people to actually learn what capitalism is before writing takes likes this.

      I think it has more to do with how much they’re charging rather than them charging anything at all.

      i.e. They’re maximizing profit off of people’s low standards by charging the most people are willing to pay while giving the least they’re willing to accept.

      If this honestly had to be spelled out for you and you’re not just being willfully ignorant, you should really get some remedial education before shitting on others.
