And crazy to think that businesses care about a fair and impartial judiciary instead of a corrupt government that hands out punishments and pardons arbitrarily based on what kind of mood the president is in

It's almost like capitalism is a liberal ideology.

It's almost like liberalism actually is a right wing ideology

Capitalism is a prerequisite of democracy...not possible to have democracy under serfdom.

Capitalism requires a stable government.

The reason capitalism started in the UK is because it quite suddenly became extremely stable under the Tudors, the most stable nation up to that point in history, everything was chaos beforehand.

It's funny how only this putting sleepy grandpa in the bedroom and kicking out mango action would make markets recover and climb for new ath. Just do nothing to win.

It is funny how, despite having such powerful intelligence, the US allowed a foreign country to manipulate dumb voters into voting for a guy whose job is to damage the US.

Is that the laissez-faire capitalism that the Republican Party used to stand for? Before it became the party of “give the president the power to arbitrarily decide the price of cars.”

It's amazing how much a sizeable bribe can put someone in a good mood

Especially someone so very bad at making his own money but so good at taking it from other people by force.

Not arbitrary, very methodical and planned.  This isn't a bunch of people making random decisions.  I wish people understood this.

They like it for a minute when they can solve a problem with cash, but then they will find out it just leads to a chaos environment when money is pushing everything all around Willy nilly.

lmao, the owners of some of the large companies in the country voted for and bankrolled Trump.

Of course they did, like any dictatorship they want to buy favor with the king and in exchange they will get a monopoly on the market. This will make them rich and powerful in the short term but cause more and more businesses and competitors to shut down or leave the country, slowing down and shrinking the economy as a whole. Nobody wants to move their business to an economy that’s rigged.

It’s based on how much they bribe him lol
