Lmao, holy shit you're an idiot. Do you even know the first thing about what you linked or economics?Why you think the average American wants to have their life savings destroyed as Joe Biden has promised. Or have their job destroyed as Joe has promised. Have their suburban neighborhood destroyed by filling every vacant lot with welfare apartments, as Joe Biden has promised. Be forced to buy an electric car, as Joe Biden has promised. Be made subservient to Chinese communist masters, as most Democrats are already. It is a mystery to most people in the country why you think they actually cheered when demented Joe gave that speech the other day where he promised, "to end shareholder capitalism once and for all". Eliminating basically every 401K, 457K and IRA in the nation. Apparently, to retire in a communist held America, you can no longer accumulate money for retirement or a rainy day. Yep, steal the life savings of 52% of America.
Your only hope of winning is full on election fraud, the dead voting in mass, illegal immigrants and convicted felons voting in mass and the usual Democrat crimes, trading crack rocks, booze and smokes to the homeless for votes, driving people from county to county to vote all the usual crap.
Even if Joe Biden wins the election it is highly unlikely he will know it in his demented state. Besides we both know that the week after the election he is going to fall down the stairs or have a stroke anyway. He will be the shortest serving president in the history of America.

"Shareholder capitalism" is capitalism for the shareholder and only the shareholders. The idea isn't to get rid of shareholders; clearly, that's a huge component of capitalism. The idea is that the viability of business should come before pure profit interest of the shareholders.
Currently, many businesses are being run strictly for shareholder returns which can be bad for the business, the employees, and the economy in general (REAGANOCIS IS FUCKING BAD STOP BEING IDIOTS.)
It's the idea of destroying the soil to get better crops as soon as possible. The plan is that being a shareholder should return to being an investment in a company, not just a high-yield saving account for the wealthy.
We need higher corporate tax rates, we need to solve advocating for worker rights so that payroll can't be slashed just to benefit shareholders, and we need to further regulate wall street.
It's fucking simple but idiots like you don't understand the first fucking thing about simple economics, yet drool all over yourselves when conservatives try to explain it to you as they can do no wrong.
I won't even bother with the rest of your post as you're obviously brain dead.
It's more complicated than that. Fiduciary laws (not a legal requirement but they argue it) pretty much make it impossible for the culture to shift because the companies legally have to do what's best for shareholders above all else and what's best for shareholders is endless quarterly growth. That matters more than the companies employees and consumers. It matters more than freedom and democracy. It matters more than the environment and societal effects of their business practices, etc, etc.One question, "The plan is that being a shareholder should return to being an investment in a company, not just a high-yield saving account for the wealthy."
What exactly do you think this statement means? you fucking said it. Because "being a shareholder" means I own a share of the company and am entitled to a share of the profits or losses of the company. It means if the company increases in value, my share of the company goes up in value. You my friend are a full blown idiot.

Imagine where we'd be if we spent billions on infrastructure instead of fraudulent SBA loans and ten months of repos. Imagine we spent $500,000,000,000.00 on infrastructure annually and got very little for it. We spend enough money annually to pave 85,000 miles of roads, today, this year, right now. I'm more interested in finding out if we are getting wise use of the tax dollars we are currently spending. Meanwhile the federal government LOANED $23,170,000,000.00 dollars to small businesses who actually will repay the majority of it back to the government. Another classic example of an idiot comparing a set of irrelevant apples and oranges.
How do you think our economy worked before the Friedman doctrine? Well in the middle ages the church declared it a crime to charge "usury" so only non-Christians loaned money ("Jews") and people like you lashed out at Jews for centuries, driving them out of countries, denying their rights. It came to a head when people who hate shareholders and bankers took over Germany and exterminated Jews by the millions. The economy before shareholders depended on people getting permission from their kings and queens to conduct business or people forming partnerships where the risk was divided among the several partners. Or you created a product, like James Watt and his steam engine and you sold it to a textile mill for a share of the profit you made from the increased productivity generated by the steam engine. Families like Rothschild accumulated $350 BILLION dollars since 1760 loaning money to finance things like the Suez Canal. The only place the economy fails is in socialist and communist countries where it is turned over to ignorant party hacks with no knowledge of how to engineer, manufacture, market and distribute a product or service. Want to see what socialism creates, go to Venezuela. In Europe, the wealthy of 75 years ago supported socialist policies because they make it utterly impossible for anyone to get wealthy. So they will forever retain, their land, money and status and no matter how hard you work, you die only modestly better off because they taxes away 90% of your hard work. Any leftist Billionaire from Bill Gates, George Soros, Jeff Bezos could easily pay 20 times their current tax rate, the IRS accepts it freely, they DO NOT. They want my taxes raised..............................not their's because they want idiots like you to advocate for stopping people from moving into their social class.
The idea of benevolent capitalists is atrocious nonsense. Cigarette companies knew smoking caused cancer in the early 60s, the Ludlow massacre happened in 1914, and on and on and on. The basic tenets of Reaganomics exacerbate collective action problems and incentivize antisocial behavior. Minuscule changes to taxing investors will not inhibit Nestle's privatization of water or its insanely exploitative supply chain, etc, etc. Really, the "Ludlow Massacre" all you have is some crap from a hundred years ago? In 1868 the racist and vile Democrat party, the very same Democrats YOU support today, people like Joe Biden ran on this platform: "The Seymour–Blair Democratic ticket's campaign slogan was: "Our Ticket, Our Motto, This Is a White Man's Country; Let White Men Rule".[161] The Democratic Party platform denounced the Reconstruction Acts as unconstitutional, void, and revolutionary." You wear tons of Nike crap and probably have a lovely Nike swoosh, BLM shirt, made by slaves in southeast Asia working for pennies an hour and you do not care. Nike pays Mike Jordan many times more than its entire manufacturing force, a cut of 20% to Mike Jordan could improve the lives of the 77,000 people sewing those shoes for $40 dollars a month, you do not care, why? Why won't you denounce your racist political party, it has a history of racism and hate rivaled by nothing else and yet you still proudly support them and hate the Washington Redskins............................seriously odd. You complain about Nestle and yet socialist countries allow them to operate freely. If you are stupid enough to sell away your utilities, why get mad that they were smart enough to buy them? Nestle employs well over 350,000 people world wide, I bet they know a bit about "capitalism" that you do not Mr. Earned Income Credit.
I won't bother with the rest of the post as you certainly do not understand how capitalism works at the most basic level. If you were as smart as you think you are you'd know the difference between the marketing/advertising and the product. There is going to be so much talk of change - so much talk that people won't notice that nothing really changes. I don't understand "capitalism" and yet managed to generate over $3 million a year in sales and employ 40 people, full time with medical, dental and retirement benefits for two decades. My Dads textile business managed to do it for 40 years in a high tax northern state with nearly a 100 employees for decades and my Mom did the same with a company she ran with her 2nd husband.
The reason "things never change" is because you are stupid. Educating a stupid person is time consuming and in the end all but impossible, especially when they are guided solely by emotion and political rhetoric in their decision making. It is impossible to show them FACTS or actual empirical information that proves they are wrong because they do not have the ability to grasp it on the most basic level. Sadly, you got a trophy for simply playing sports and first place for trying to learn. This lifetime of coddling has made you weak minded and convinced you are "smart" because mommy kept telling you so.
Thanks for playing.
@lonegunman You can't even post correctly, how am I going to take anything you say seriously? You're on some extra boomer mindset today.
Drive thru? Cool job. Meet interesting people and free refills...
My job? Ok, if you say so.I'm glad you like your job, don't spend the whole $1,200 bucks at the weed store, rent is due.
There’s a whole heap of stuff you said in your reply that is just too vastly complex to unpack so I’ll leave it alone.Workers have everyone advocating for their rights these days and since we are not communist just yet, they are free to move to better paying jobs. Wages rise when you have an in demand skill, as a barista you do not have that skill, sorry.
