The Pure Idiocy of Capitalism

It's disgusting that something which should be free and available to every one---like education or health care----has been turned into a commodity.

It is disgusting that people are faced with the terrible dilemma:  either take out a loan to pay for college or give up hope of finding a decent job.

And even more disgusting is the sort of nonsense that universities and colleges actually teach----marketing, advertising, business.  All non-subjects with the intellectual integrity of the worst of medieval theology.

Take, for example, the idea of "added value."  We see its victims in the cheese department of a store like Albertsons. Whereas in the humble Slovak Republic, one can buy an inexpensive and delicious version of goat cheese without added salt, preservatives---not tinkered with in any way, in Albertsons, you find all sorts of Feta, crumbled, with extra ingredients in wasteful plastic boxes..... I don't need that sort of over-salted pre-crumbled Feta.  I just want a piece of the real thing, without extra salt or anything else.  But I cannot buy it here.

And the idiots who destroyed the cheese in this way imagine themselves to be clever, and probably got the idea from what they were "taught' (sic) at university......

And it is exactly the same sort of ignorance, arrogance, and idiocy which makes it possible for the manufacturers of the shit they call "beer" in the USA to sue a Czech manufacturer who makes real beer.......unfathomable stupidity and arrogance produced by capitalism.....

Disgusting
Immoral
