Nah fuck that you prove to me humanity can do an economy properly than we have a conversation. At this point we will all die before we ever have a proper economy. The greed of the few out weigh the needs of the many.

    Over 90% of Chinese adults own their own home.

    That's not proof an economy works. That's proof you can own a home.

    Holy shit you make a point and then lose reality. Why the fuck do you think those people were in poverty in the first place? You think what made them in poverty disappeared or was masked? There are still rich, poor and middle class. They have a broken economy because everyone has a broken economy.

    Calm down, big guy. I'm saying their economy is working waaaaay better than any western neoliberal capitalist structures.

    A proper economy is one where the people who need things more pay more than the people who need them less. That’s how we know what things should cost.

    Is that why most people can't afford and don't receive healthcare in America?
