Capitalism

Hank Rearden

Why do you live in a capitalist system?

Sea Chicken

Choice. There are such things as airplanes if immigration is desired.

Division Bell

Tell that to 31 million Venezuelans

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 5:57pm

Are you saying that there are no Venezuelans in the USA?

Division Bell

that doesn't even make sense

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 6:44pm

None of those 31 million can find a way to get into the USA?

Division Bell

8/13/19 6:52pm

You think that any Venezuelan can immigrate to the US if they choose to?

My post was noting that *I* choose to live in a capitalistic society, and that

Curious. If you, division bell, was born in India, how would you immigrate

Let me ask my India-born niece.

Division Bell

8/13/19 7:30pm

Ok, how did she immigrate here?

carlstud

8/13/19 7:33pm

Written permission from her father, and a plane ticket.

Division Bell

So, obviously not one of the hundreds of millions of Indians who can’t afford

My parents immigrating to the USA. So fortunate.

But, a blessing for slappy.

Preppy

8/13/19 5:40pm

Yup, he's not lucky all at.

Bert609

8/13/19 5:41pm

very synonymous I guess. What would you attribute to a blessing?

Preppy

8/13/19 5:52pm

Heheh. I was just being a dork. Slappy said "fortunate!" I said, "nope hard work!" You said "blessing!"

Bert609

8/13/19 5:58pm

Yes! They both worked extremely hard to get citizenship.

That wasn't hypothetical. You are one of the wealthiest people on earth.

Sea Chicken

8/13/19 6:57pm

Depends on how I became this wealthy, all would apply to various degrees
