I'm going to check in on my own personal bitcoin as MOE gauge. I'm going to ask the Steak&Shake I visited in July whether more people are buying with bitcoin. Back then I was only the second person who had.
When I refer to the neighborhood, it was circa 1994😀 Lefty Dizz was still alive and playing a little blues club right next to Wrigley.
Utopian ideals of capitalism, socialism, libertarianism, etc will never fully exist. That seems to be a given and acknowledged by everyone, regardless of ideology. My simple working definition of capitalism here would be a free market coupled with a respect for private property and personal freedoms. The idea that the US has lived under capitalism at any point in the last hundred years is ridiculous. The government has its thumb on the scale of every market, owns almost all of the infrastructure, and picks its winners in every industry.
I can't tell you how many times my socialist/communist friends have said to me, "well, we tried capitalism. Look what happened."
They're like aliens from another planet. We can't find common ground linguistically.
I think if an agreed definition of capitalism is set, you can often have a constructive conversation.
Beautiful place to see a game. The neighborhood around the park is also a lot of fun. Its worth a pilgrimage
