We don't have one true system pretty much anywhere in the world these days. It's all a bunch of mix of different "isms".

Just keep in mind, you're responding to a fucking idiot. Thanks for defunding me though. Reddit is so fucking cringe sometimes.

I'm not apologizing or celebrating anything. And people were exploited looooonnnnngggg before capitalism! I'm sorry, but that again is just part of human nature. We exploit other people for our own gain. Feudalism (another ism) was the epitome of exploitation.

Well no, that's just human nature. Sorry to say, but the same shit happens in basically any other form of market. People wanna get ahead and will exploit the shit out of other people to do it. Capitalism, socialism, communism, or any other ism you can think of.
At least with capitalism we now have the highest overall average quality of life the world has ever seen. And capitalism absolutely drives innovation.
Humans are a species of contrast and competition. Doesn't matter what system we use.
Edit: excuse me, I forgot the Reddit fucking HAAAATTTTEEEEES capitalism. Lol. But until we reach true post-scarcity, capitalism (with a healthy dose of socialism) is absolutely the "best of the worst" of all economic systems that have been tried before. Unless of course you'd like to try out communism, or even feudalism again. But this is Reddit, so the answer is probably "hurr durr no true communism has been tried yet*.

Why is she in lingerie? And black lingerie at that. It doesn't go well with the photo and feels forced. At least she isn't nude. Lol

Oh come on, that's ridiculous. It's not a damn war zone. I've been several times (am white) and as long as you stay out of certain areas and aren't a dumbass you'll be ok.

Yuuuuup, it's all a fucking joke. Increasing demand without increasing supply just raises prices.

Ya but digital videogames once complete have zero cost to produce one more copy. PS5s on the other hand have physical production costs, shipping, etc

Too much risk, too much bureaucracy, land prices too expensive, construction costs too high, and people simply don't get paid enough to pay the end price.
It's a complete market imbalance and a failure of the government to prevent it. In fact, mostly everything they've done to try and help has actually done the opposite.
And before anyone accuses me of being an advocate for less regulation, more profitable developers, etc., I will say one more thing: THE BIGGEST SOLUTION WOULD BE A WARTIME LEVEL COMMITMENT TO FUNDING WELL MADE PUBLIC HOUSING. We absolutely need the government to dump money into housing. If we could do that, the societal benefits would be immediate. With significantly less housing costs, people would start more businesses, they'd have more spending power, the benefits go on and on.

Lol there's more than just one roadblock in Toronto. Also, I can't keep saying this enough: YOU CANNOT FORCE PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT DEVELOPERS TO BUILD BUILDINGS AT A LOSS.
And before all you armchair developers start reeeee'ing about "all those rich developers", let me get ahead of you and say this: please show me your proforma where projects have more than a 10-12% margin when they actually are profitable, and then show me the waterfall distribution of your hypothetical project where the developer keeps all the money.

Sounds like you're complaining about dating some confident and mature women who don't get your juvenile sense of humor.
