gollark: Because it is! It mostly works fine!
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.
