Capitalism

 

“Capitalism is a great clearinghouse to efficiently produce anything that can possibly be produced which someone can be convinced to buy and do it for the best price.  It is a terrible system to conserve anything.”(Shitbit by Poop John the First)

“The first amendment of the US Constitution mandates the separation of Church and State but it does not mandate the separation of Church and Economy.”(Shitbit by Pope John the First)

Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for a private profit; decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investment are made by private actors in the free market; profit is distributed to owners who invest in businesses, and wages are paid to workers employed by businesses and companies.

Capitalism is an economic system designed by man to serve our needs and ever more increasingly our wants and desires.  It has been credited with generating tremendous amounts of wealth for mankind throughout the world and for generating the “good life” for us here in America.

Up to now economic progress has been defined largely in terms of greater choice, more convenience, enhanced capabilities, enhanced power, greater comfort and less work and manual labor.  There has been very little thought given to the waste end of capitalist production when making the decision to build or produce a product.  Waste considerations have to date been given only to the end of usefulness side of the product cycle.  When the product has reached the end of its usefulness what should be done with it?  What part can be recycled?  What part do we send to the landfill?  The mindset has been to invent, produce, market and sell first and after the fact consider what to do with the waste result.  The Church of the Holy Shitters considers this ass-backward thinking.
