The Free Market™

A lot of Americans don't save money because they are retarded. In school they use to teach students how to balance a Check book or apply for a loan/paying it off but they removed that.

Fuck I have a Friend who had to sell his Xbox to pay for Gas to get to work but spends probably a grand a month on Weed.

True, but the consumer based economy that we have only survives by tricking people into buying the latest and greatest shit which is only a slight upgrade to what they already have and won't do jack shit to improve their quality of life. I agree that this is a problem with self restraint, but the ones running the economy encourage this behavior as that is the only way to get growth upon growth every year. It is not sustainable and soon it will all come crashing down.

It just bothers me to see these retarded acquaintances who struggle with money for the dumbest reasons.

Especially the fuckers who are living paycheck to paycheck but then they go and take on a massive car loan, because god forbid they drive something used.

Its sucky that people like that vote to take away your freedoms so they have a bigger safety net for their dumb asses.

I agree, but they are quite literally the air pump inflating the economic bubble we currently live in. The second you do something to slow or stop their behavior all hell will break loose. And most politicians are content to kick the can down the road instead of having that shit crash down over their heads

I would be 100k in debt if it weren't for being born and living in Germany. I would thus have suicided at age 18.

>I don't know what insurance is
Fascinating

Apple doesn't create iPhones. Labor does. Apple just brands, markets and sells them.

Well using that criteria we can argue that Apple doesn't brand, market or sell anything. These tasks are accomplished by specialized laborers who work as a group to promote the concept of Apple. Equally we could say that Apple is not able to exploit laborers, as it is just a concept, and instead it is laborers who exploit one another.

>Well using that criteria we can argue that Apple doesn't brand, market or sell anything.
Good, they don't. I hope they all get hanged.

And said labor comes from the working class that willingly labors for the company in exchange for currency as is the norm for a capatilist society, your fucking point?

Who is they? Apple is a concept which laborers choose to work under to sell a product with a brand. Do you want to hang those laborers?

Yay. Blaming Capitalism for government intervention. What fun.

P.S. Trademarks are statist.

There's no free market in real life, fool. Not with a central bank at least.

This is the free market:

I want to make a deal, you want to make a deal, so we make a deal.

Anything else is just interference in a voluntary transaction.

Weird how you neocons wont say anything about Japan's pristine hospitals or how digusting and corrupt American hospitals can be.

>If we use violence against libertarians for simply speaking their opinions, they will also learn that corporations aren't their friends!
You sure are gonna get socalists out of that. Not sure if it's the kind you want though.

Jap's are insects that work themselves to death for the colony to have those luxuries.

Good luck trying to get socialism to work with niggers

Where's the part where he sues the commie scum for everything his mom owns?
What a shit comic.

yeah i know you shills are trying the communism angle but its not gonna work

>being as dumb as a communist/socialist
it must be nice to be blissfully ignorant.

>implying even for a second that the government doesnt have its hands all over hospitals

Does retarded shit like this work on npc folk?

I don't think there's anything wrong with private insurance if there's enough competition.

> Outrageous hospital bill, 100% due to retarded government interference
> WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

What are you saying?
Promoting life values should be illegal?
It's all good as long it's free choice.
Things get fucked when you think you know better than everyone else and force your values on them with the threat of gun.

>implying we have free market medical care

The company was created and invested by individuals who took great risks to build the brand. Now it gives an opportunity of labor to many people and the devices are a part of everyday lives for a lot of people.
These people could also have just been 'laborers' and lived comfortable lives.

hematoma -> abscess/phlegmone -> thrombophlebitis/cellulitis/brain abscess

lot's a shit can happen if it doesn't seem to be healing

if it stays swollen for a good long while you should get it checked out

>Implying government intervention and leftist big government monetary policy aren't the reason hospital bills are unpayable

I never said nor implied any of that. I was simply stating that the economy as it is currently run relies upon rampant consumerism and taking advantage of those with poor self restraint. Not to say that there is a better ecomomic system, or that there is anything inherently wrong with supplying people with minor upgrades to products that they already have at a premium. I am in no way arguing that we should take action any one way or another.

T. Stereotypically retarded commie

And?
If you buy food from a supermarket you are supporting capitalism
If you have a car you are supporting capitalism
If you buy a house you are supporting capitalism
No one calls commies out for living in houses or eating food, even though those thing cost way more than electronic toys
Why do people latch onto iPhones so much?

Food and shelter are necessary. Over priced electronic toys are not. There are cheaper variants to an iPhone which accomplish the same tasks

>commie attacks human
>human becomes commie
Commies confirmed zombies

I have my own healthcare, and im not even rich.
Idk why people bitch about it so fucking much about it, the most i ever paid for medical treatment was $20

Why did you go to the hospital for a simple punch to the face?
Why didn't you negotiate with cash? Using an insurance company automatically triples the price.

What if you almost die twice in one year?
There's Health Savings Accounts you can use Tax Free, but you actually have a deadline to use those and there's a limit of what you can put in them.

>Gets punched once
>Goes to the hospital
>180's to become a follower of assaulter's ideology
This explains a lot of how they think.
Also, the meme would by a lot better if there were no words in the last panel. They literally went out of there way to make it worse.

A lot of Americans don't save money because there's no reason to any more.
>Stuffing your money in a mattress or keeping it in a safe is pointless because in ten or fifteen years it will lose half of its value to inflation.
>savings account Interest rates have been below inflation rate for decades. Until you've saved many thousands of dollars, this is your only option. If you make less than 60,000 a year, you will not save many thousands of dollars ever, (unless you're military on deployment or a crab fisherman or work an oil platform, or some other job that pays for all of your living expenses while still paying your full salary)
>interest rates for CDs and other bank instruments are marginally better than savings accounts, but you have to have a ridiculously high minimum investment to get the better rates, and even with the highest rates available, you're still not beating CPI/Inflation.
>Bonds are probably the safest place to keep your money, but even those are affected by interest rates that don't beat inflation lately.
>only place to store your money with a reasonable expectation of retaining value or growing is the stock market, which will crash every eight to ten years, so I hope you didn't need to get it during the recession, this is mostly gambling though, and since you're not actually investing in a company unless you are in on the IPO you're just affecting the market cap, which affects a company's borrowing power, not its bottom line, which contributes to growing the debt economy and the accumulation of capital by the bankers
>Any time the bankers feel like ordinary citizens are gaining too much equity they will crash the market with no survivors.
>Oh, and you have to pay income tax on any amount of any gains you make on any of the above, so even if the gains did beat inflation, what you come away with after taxes won't.

Guess he didn't have fucking insurance.

(((free choice)))

Fuck off libertarian retard. There is no inherent moral virtue in freedom.

Just force people to work.

Plus they are basically an ethnostate

>Exploited labor does these phones
>let me buy them!!!!!

Explain to me why you're entitled to somebody else's money just because you're sick. Pay for it with the money you make from your job. If you don't have that money yet, take a loan and pay it off when you get better. If you'll never get better and won't make any money in your whole life, then you're a blight on society and don't deserve health care. Got it?

>gommunism or gapitalism is to blame
>jews and their scam of health insurance isn't to blande
>jews and their federal reserve isn't to blame
fucking morons, all of you.

Yeah, if they love communism so much why do they wear pants or eat food?

I dont day for insurance, because that is too expensive, If I get super sick, then it is my time too go, no point in living off of medicine

>Guy gets buffed for believing communism
if your fucking dreams at best you'd be starving/malnourished sage.

>hurr hospitals didn't self-regulate
>what do you mean, "but government stops amateur surgeons from opening up shops?"

that, unfortunately is manifestly not the case in the USA. We have legally mandated insurance fiefdoms.
