I'd prefer a system that cares - especially if you're working in a system where there is risk of injury and losing that ability to work.
A system will never care; it has no feelings. A gubmint will never care; it has no feelings. People might care and if they have money they will care with it.

Good. When someone shows that your statement was jaw-droppingly stupid, pretend you never said it and maybe everybody else will too.

The reason you think my post was stupid is because you have no idea what I'm saying. I feel like I'm talking to the deer lady.

That's what I'm saying. I'm willing to give capitalists some credit and deny that fire departments are socialism. But apparently people like you seem to be insisting on it. So yes, OK capitalism, you've convinced me. You want the poor to die in fires.

Your comprehension skills are sadly lacking.

You're saying that saving labour instead of working hard makes societies degenerate. Which flies directly in the face of the fact that all technological advance is developing ways to do more with less labour.

Nope. That's not at all what I said.

By removing all difficulty in a humans life, you are taking his purpose.
Everything we do is naturally hardwired to our natural disposition of survival.

By removing all difficulty in a humans life, you are also removing his number one drive to be skilled and proficient.

Make life to easy, the end result is a bunch of degenerate useless t i t s.

Of course it isn't.

Well, you're better at flinging lame insults than at constructing a logical argument, so I'd recommend sticking with your long suit.
If you're trolling: then it's no use for me wasting my time.
If you're so dumb you can't understand what I'm saying: then it's no use wasting my time.

And that's why I didn't bother replying to you're stupid post.

...thus driving more of your workforce out of good-paying industry into barely-getting-there call center stuff, minimum-wage burger-flipping gigs or even the welfare rolls - while the rich get richer from overseas investments with off-shore bank accounts.

Capitalism.... Assa life
