So what happened with England when the govt owned much of the economy.

Not so good and as a result the govt made the economy capitalistic again

Not Socialism countries.

Funny how oil companies make more money when crud oil sky high. Now who what causes oil to go sky high? Oil companies like it when crud oil goes way up. They make more money on gallon of gas than federal state governments.

As far as George Carlin he had no idea like rest of us. He just made money off jokes like all comedians.

I sure the majority of population happy with gun to here heads :a040:

Gas Taxes and What You Need to Know

USSR. A dictatorship that was socialist in name only. We called them "commies" (communists), but communism and socialism are not the same thing.

Standard Oil was a monopoly that had to be broken up by SCOTUS.

Fermi and more: Einstein , Curie, Rutherford, Planck, Niels Bohr, Roentgen

The Holy Grail will be fusion.

Too bad they didn't name a sub atomic particle or an isotope after Rutherford. Too many syllables I guess.

Looks like they *did* let him name the proton. :-)

Canada & England both have socialist medicine. Neither is cracked up to what it’s supposed to be. Says many who needed care in those countries.
South Korea, on the other hand, does quite well. They don’t have socialist healthcare, but it’s cheap and good, for the most part.
Case in point. My daughter is a freelance graphic design artist. Makes great money, but no benefits.
It was cheaper for her to visit there for a few months to receive a some needed care, than it was for her here to pay out of pocket just for the care she needed. Now that’s crazy.

I'm not totally sure what your point is, if it's that we live in a capitalist society where all mighty dollar rules I agree. As far as George Carlin making money off his jokes, that was the business he was in. I'm sure there were days you did not want to go to work but you did so to earn money.
The problem with living in a capitalist society is when money is the main goal greed creeps in and takes precedence over country, people, even self-preservation.
What Carlin's joke pointed out was that many who continue saying we have to save the planet are misguided, that the planet will survive long after we are gone. What these people should be saying instead is we should be taking measure to save ourselves.
If you were fortunate enough to watch 60 minutes last night, it focused in on how corporations relish on inflation and how mergers stifle the competition which gives them control over market prices.
There has to be a better way, and we better find it soon, if not for ourselves at least for our off springs.

A friend of mine was from Argentina and always bragged about their free healthcare. On one of her trips, she broke her arm and they fixed it for free. At that point she would hold up her arm. It was so crooked it looked like a hockey stick. I guess you get what you pay for!
