You've already amply demonstrated that your understanding of business is completely non-existent, and your concepts of what's "good" would result in innumerable people losing their jobs. How good would that be, then?
What total and utter presumptuous, twaddling bollocks. It's right up there with your pontificating about how your post is to "make people think." Really? Because nobody else can think, without YOUR prompting?
Wow, just WOW.

Well, it certainly made you think, but not in a good way.
For starters, you need to get a funny backbone.
I made Goodist and Goodism up, basically on the spot. I was chatting with an online friend and we joked about it, and at a whim I put it in my post. Really, I was just indicating that I am not totally against Capitalism, and I am not a Socialist or a Communist. I am a bit of a lot of things, and while i don't like labels, it was fun to apply one in this instance.
So your interpretation and that of at least one other, is all your own.
It did occur to me a bit later, that some of you might take it too seriously, but it was too late by then ... I was in bed and wanting to sleep.
Angry ... now that's subjective. Funny how a bunch of you cannot handle someone not agreeing with you ... and some get nasty, act a bully, etc etc.
Accuse me of all sorts of things, but character assassination is just fine behavior for some it seems. Fine to be rude to me too.
I'm only responding to you, because at least you weren't nasty, just misguided and irrationally angry.
By the way, I never said what was good for anyone or claimed any such super power. Like everyone though, I know when something is bad.
What a ridiculous claim about prompting ... no-one ever thinks of it all. I suggested things to think about. How the hell would I know what you have thought about or not. You could be one of those who just hasn't thought about some of the things I have mentioned. And by the way, it is a two-way street, and I have indeed thought about some of the responses, including yours ... though I haven't responded at this point in time. Sometimes I want a break, especially to mull over things. An awful lot of assumptions have been aired about me and things I apparently said. Sometimes I just get peeved at the negativity, and poor reading comprehension skills ... or bias/agendas.
So much of this is just childish behavior, so I am going to respond with a good old child chant - Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
I honestly don't know why I bother to respond to some posts, except my natural inclination for justice and setting the record straight.
