If capitalism is the problem, and not some people's extreme lack of Ability to adapt, why am I thriving, including in a bad economy?

I have been working for a temp agency for 3 months already doing a variety of industrial jobs..

Assembly and warehouse work, construction and carpentry assistive labor, plumbing and electrial work, drywalling and roofing...

Mechanical work and towing and recovery..

And increasingly gardening and landscaping as summer is rolling in....

Buildings last a long time....

Homes remain considered new, or operational, for quite a long time..

M paying $850 per month for a home built in the late 1990s..

Thats far beyond acceptable, and well within norms..

And I only feel it in my legs and back once in a while from my jobs..

It's more than worth it.

So if you have a problem with capitalism..

How about you check yourself for adaptability problems ?

Things like generation after generation staying in one place.. And a developed patriotism to just one part of America..

Things like generation after generation doing the same thing for a living..

Things like never in your family's history of going to college or trade school.

Things like not changing with the winds of change.

    People who criticize Capitalism probably should go to college and take a poly-sci and econ class or two as they don't really understand what the alternative is. Pointing to Norway and Sweden as "Socialist" is basically saying you don't know what the eff you're talking about.

    In the USA if you get cancer your treatment bill is over $100,000...people end up selling their homes and emptying their savings account to pay for treatments...that’s not right...

    I am glad that you are doing well, however a single testimony doesn't disprove the experiences of many others. Capitalism does work for some people, however due to what some would term systemic issues, others are less able to find the same level of success under it.

    Then you should still thrive just fine if the poor are given a safety net.
