    I thought capitalism was about supply and demand. We demand something and corporations supply it. Who demanded this crap?

      Capitalism is about juggling numbers, empty promises, exploitation, pump & dump and „HODL🚀🚀🚀“

      Capitalism is about ownership more than anything else. Capitalism states that the means of production is private property and to be used for the purpose of obtaining profit. As long as there is profit, supply and demand can go fuck itself along with the workers (those who produce). It really is a stupid system that can never be fully implemented (every economy is a mixed economy for a reason) since it naturally creates perverse incentive.
