Monopolies controlling our food supply

mardi 5 mai 2020 à 02:00

Letting "efficient" monopolies control our food supply has produced a system so inflexible that farms are destroying crops while stores have no food to sell.

Blame of individual Americans

mardi 5 mai 2020 à 02:00

An antisocialist tries to blame individual Americans for borrowing money beyond what they could pay back.

It is true that most Americans are acting unwisely, but remember that they are acting under the influence of a system that pressures and lures people to do that. For decades, banks have systematically sent credit cards to college students without being asked. Resisting the temptation to use the card calls for strength that they may never have developed.

So who is responsible for their unwise choice? Partly, they are, individually. But the banks have the bigger share of responsibility. The banks' responsibility is morally more grave, because they understand the situation and they choose to lead students into being exploited.

Meanwhile, it is not a few Americans that find themselves borrowing money for immediate survival. A just system would never do that to anyone.

The writer identifies perself as a "libertarian", but I think that is a misleading label and I won't use it myself.
