That's why instead of having 1 fully functional shipping services, we have many half assed and inefficient ones.

Fedex RantI'm just salty at Fedex for being the worst pakage services and delaying my package 4 times. I paid for 2 day shipping and am now looking at day 5(which I still would have been okay with if it came before the 31st!). What am I going to do with a Halloween costume on Wednesday? I hope all the workers organize and greatly increase their material conditions and the CEOs never see a bonus again.

Anyone have any other stories about the inefficiency of the innovations capitalism breeds to make me feel better?

The Liberals will say that they support free market and meritocracy on the assumption that Capitalism means free market and meritocracy that should favors the working class. In implementation, the Liberals would then redefine Capitalism to mean authoritarian plutocratic command economy (which is the original definition of Capitalism), advocate for free-riding by the rich 1% over the 99% with the excuse that the authoritianisn 1% are the only significant contributors to society, and justify plutocracy on the claim that the wealth are magically distributed to people according to their merit.
