I have adblock and it doesn’t show up, but right now, to check, I unblocked it and it showed up.

Does it not show up for you?

your blaming capitalism for people doing things outside of capitalism and not blaming them.

what do you suggest? as the only other systems are totalitarian… do you know of ANY system where amoral people cant cheat?

capitalism requires moral people, and there ARE moral people in the population

the others require moral leaders, and there are a lot fewer of them, easier to corrupt them, and with the absolute power needed to stop the cheating in capitalism, you get soviet communism or fascism…

which do you want? capitalism, mutually beneficial exchange has nothing of the attributes your misattributing to it.

chrony capitalism, isnt capitalism, its fascism
corporatism is not capitalism, its fascism

both masquerade as their enemy for the purpose of destroying the only honest system we have.

let me knwo when you can find a perfect system that has delieved more honesty and money to the average person…

sorry, but how many times a day do you get cheated by capitalists… i dont mean they charge a price you dont like, which is not cheating… but actually rob or cheat you? the deli? the gas station? the power company? the water company? the bus drivers?

seems to me that the vast capitalist enterprises are honest and moral, to the point they are invisable.

keep looking for utopia, and see what you get

you want a perfect system for imperfect people and more imperfect amoral leaders – or did you notice that the worst cheaters and murders lead the other sytems?

As for that trailer, I saw it too, and it drove me nuts. We’d rushed to get to the theater on time for the new Star Wars movie, but there was some kind of technical difficulty and we ended up cooling our heels in the theater for 15 or 20 minutes past the official start time. I was eager to see the movie we’d come to see and couldn’t believe it when the trailers finally got started and that darned sloth would not get moving. I guess I over-identified with the rabbit!

I have to give NYC’s DMV some credit: I registered my car at their office downtown in the Wall St. district and was in and out in 20 minutes flat, with license plates in hand and my mouth open in shock. They have a new system: make an appointment online. Thought that was a joke, but I got to line-jump all the mouth-breathers who didn’t think to do it.

:-)))

Nothing on their end works right because the computer systems are done by the same people that did Obamacare, rules are constantly changing, other agencies fail to cooperate so why put any extra effort in.

Like all government agencies, the root problem is that we’ve turned a simple safety and title records office into a tax collection branch and a legal enforcement office. Let the tax guys collect sales taxes and the courts deal with law enforcement.

The people who work at my local post office are fabulous. Not only are they efficient, but they’re funny. I always enjoy going there.

Same here. I know our clerks and letter carriers by their first names. I think the Post Office gets a bad rap.

Thanks for bringing us down to speed on sloths.

BTW, one reason that sloths are hard to kill is that they are so hard to spot — and being slow makes them hard to spot — straight off.

Our eye-brain logic looks for change.

Sloths are so slow that they are perceived as plant growth or but wind effect upon vegetation.

The do their business on the ground so as to drastically reduce the scent-print of their leavings.

What could be more obvious?

They are also putting it where they fear to tread… much.
