Wow. A Netflix movie about capitalism. What a cast. The Laundromat. [View all]

It’s about unbridled capitalism. It’s about laissez faire. The idea that corporations are the best regulators of their own greed is the dumbest idea I can think of. And this Netflix movie proves it.

One thing here in America, there has never been such a thing as unbridled socialism. That was in the Soviet Union, and never had anything to do with the New Deal.

It’s always been about capital vs. the people. I like the negotiating between the two. It’s a balance, and I hate extremes.
