gollark: People talk a lot about how terrible capitalism is, and then generally just... ignore the possibility of charity.
gollark: The market system (roughly) satisfies people's values, and apparently most people's actual values don't include giving up anything to help people they don't directly interact with.
gollark: Well, yes, it isn't perfect, through broadly speaking I think stuff like people not getting food is more down to people not caring than the structure of society.
gollark: And yet we have a mostly functioning system which produces mostly enough food, and is able to make the mind-breakingly complex supply chains for that food work.
gollark: Pretty much everything we actually produce is in the "not entirely necessary but nice to have" box.
