This is how capitalism starts

I can do that. I'll keep track of everyone's food, you know, in exchange for food.

You should even get a little extra! You know, because of all the responsibility

I don't even agree with this but I'm upvoting because I hope Lemmy becomes more open to hearing nuanced takes on this. Capitalism is complicated. It's not God, it's not Satan

I dont support everything in capitalism and I dislike the way Americans engage in it. But i do like it as an economic engine and a way for people to build things and shape their communities. The idea of someone being unable to own a store and sell goods and services is very sad to me.

Cacti are more difficult than other plants to grow.
