It creates scarcity when there really is abundance. Well there's no incentive to not feed people, there is incentive to produce more than you can consume.

Neal There's a lack of profit motive in feeding people who can't afford food. If it were profitable to feed them, it would be done, but since it isn't, they instead throw away food and make nothing instead of giving it away and making nothing.

Rod Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Socialism is a system fundamentally based upon a small central authority making decisions on behalf of an entire population, through increased spending of other people's money, enabled by the threat of force. BUT ITS JUST NOT FASCISM K!!! AND IT WILL WORK THIS TIME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, big pharma gives billions in medicine away each year, they can do this because most can afford it and pay, they can still profit and re-invest in new research while helping millions in this world live longer healthier lives.
