ever heard of the great depression? and no they created their fortunes in the aftermath of the world war where unions were at their peak and taxes on the wealthy equally so. also didn't hurt that nearly every other industrialized country in the world was a smoldering pile of rubble.
Well, Straga21, at this point you will only believe that they are guilty if they come out and scream that. While I can understand your reasoning, you are literally ignoring all the signs. Saying that, not all information is out, but this case is like a centipede, the shoes keep on dropping and when everything falls in place, you will reach the same concusion that many here already arrived, just six months later.
While I totally agree with some skepticism, I also believe you are going overboard on it.

I mean, while this statement is ten times better then anything i have heard from anyone the last days, we need to wait before we judge "empty words" until we See some Action. I know alot of people are upset and even i consider to take a break from the game(s) but people need to wait with their rude words. You have to give them at least a chance to correct their mistakes, before you write another hateful messages. This whole process needs time. And for the people who are saying thst He didnt write it himself, come on, there are just a few people who do this in such a crisis or in politics in general.
If the system allowed for the birth of a Blizzard type corporation, I would blame the system. Just because the system can do good it does not mean it cant do bad things. Not to mention that today's economy is a oligopoly, the ma an pa shops are dying all around the USA.

Well, technically, the free market never existed and would never exist. There's always someone intervening: corporations fixing prices between them or parceling where each one can sell, buyers boicoting corporations, goverments taxing products or putting custom duties, brokers manipulating the market, etc.
Free market is a fairy tale.

You conveniently excluded the income inequality, the millions of people that live in insecure food households, the millions of people in crushing debt and the massive poverty and starvation around the world.
While I am not against capitalism per se, this idea that it's perfect and can do no wrong is pretty silly.

If capitalism is so bad, what would you replace it with, then?

I don't get this part, what's wrong with income inequality? I don't want income to be equal, because then I've got nothing left to strive for.
I want to be able to make millions while my neighbour next door makes thousands if I play my card rights, have the right ideas and enough luck. I don't want that chance at striking it big gone.
And as for the rest... why are you assuming that insecure food households, poverty and starvation are a problem of capitalism? That stuff exist everywhere, in every system.
Nobody holds that idea.While I am not against capitalism per se, this idea that it's perfect and can do no wrong is pretty silly.
because it hasn't happened to you? sexual assault doesn't happen because it's never happened to you? people just make bad choices when they go to college and then can't find work because the economy collapsed and have to work at McDonalds because you've never gone out and gotten a job? I see what the problem is here, you lack any and all manner of empathy. your posts are dripping in it.
Blaming everything (for example) a culture of rampant sexual harassment at a company on society is an easy scapegoat and only serves to diminish the personal culpability of abusers.
