  • Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their use for the purpose of obtaining profit. This socioeconomic system has developed historically through several stages and is defined by a number of basic constituent elements: private property, profit motive, capital accumulation, competitive markets, commodification, wage labor, and an emphasis on innovation and economic growth.

    In the context of "Why do Americans think everything has to profit?", then the point is that the train is considered only for the profit it can make, and not for the environmental etc benefits. This is a result of the market economy as you rightly state (and private ownership of transportation).

I wrote ‘Can I get picture?’ on my phone screen using Snapchat text like people do at concerts, and I know that he read it as he looked at me several times during his speech. I was at the front of the line. He didn’t even stay to personally hand the watches to the top four people that paid eight figures to get that rank.”

    And I withdrew into my bedchamber, and lay down, for it was night. But the cat, seeing that I had lain down in my bedchamber, forgot all the kindness of his master and cried out: "Arise and feed me, for I am hungry and thirsty!" And he thrust his paws into mine eye, and drew his voice nigh unto mine ear. And wrath was kindled in my heart. I stretched forth mine hand and took up my slipper, that I might smite the cat. And the cat saw that I had opened mine eyes, and rejoiced, and began to fawn upon me and sing praises unto my glory. And I took pity on the cat in my heart, for he hath no understanding in his head. And I rose up from my couch, and went into the kitchen, and poured more food into his bowl, a double measure.

    Fyi there were no results.
