From: Joe Cunningham

I'm with Shadrach. Replace capitalism with what? Bureaucrats?

First off, other than Alex, who is talking about replacing capitalism?
Capitalism as an economic structure is like democracy as a political
structure: it's not that great, it's just better than anything else on the
planet.

Also cooking the CPI numbers would require such a giant conspiracy that
it is unfathomable.

Who said "conspiracy"? All I'm saying is that whatever the CPI and salary
numbers say, they don't match the reality of life. Costs have risen to the
point where a single-income family is nearly impossible. Fewer positions
exist, and yet visa programmers continue to encroach on the economy, and the
global economists would have more of them!

Insanity.
