Earlier this month we noted how Disney and ESPN had sued Sling TV for the cardinal sin of actually trying to innovate. Sling TV’s offense: releasing new, more convenient day, weekend, or week-long shorter term streaming subscriptions that provided an affordable way to watch live television.
These mini-subscriptions, starting at around $5, have already proven to be pretty popular. But, of course, it challenges the traditional cable TV model of getting folks locked into recurring (and expensive) monthly subscriptions. Subscriptions that often mandate that you include sports programming many people simply don’t want to pay for.
So of course Time Warner has now filed a second lawsuit (sealed, 1:25-mc-00381) accusing Dish Network of breach of contract. In the complaint, Warner Bros lawyer David Yohai argues that this kind of convenience simply cannot be allowed.
If Capitalism is not working as intended then it should be scrapped. Supply and demand indeed.
So what’s the superior model to replace it?
Everything else that has been tried has failed.
And don’t give me some shit about a small community that thrives without capitalism, but exist as a pocket of a capitalistic society that supply all essentials to them.In a microcosm many models work, but most collapse at scale.
This is not a matter of capitalism vs something else, but capitalism vs capitalism.What does a surgeon replace a tumor with once it’s been removed?
That’s an invalid analogy, or at a very minimum it requires explanation.
I think the only point we can get rid of capitalism, is when there is no shortages of anything for anyone.
Until then it needs to be regulated, and dreams and claims of just removing it are counterproductive, because we simply can’t at this point in time.
Capitalism also isn’t the problem, lack of regulation and allowing the 1% to control everything is.Scandinavian countries are free market capitalist countries, and although they aren’t perfect either, they are better for the general population than the American 2 party system.
How you run your democracy is crucial, democracy is supposed to control society, not the 1%.You have the right ideas in some ways but their execution in your head is lacking.
Read a little bit about the subject and you might understand what people are talking about. Maybe start with Rosa Luxemburg. She writes about reforming capitalism or tearing it all down and creating something new.
Good luck and remember we only limit ourselves with our thoughts.
She writes about reforming capitalism
Exactly my point, with the options we have now, reform is the way forward, not replace.
She concluded that tearing it all down is the only way.
