Looks great but someone has to pay for it.

The Industrial Revolution born out of England was (is) just another way of exploiting the impoverished. It just happens to work very well - basically, you either work in the factory or you starve to death. It's what China is in the throes of. There is no difference between any of these systems, communist or otherwise. They all employ capitalist techniques to keep people working. Although, for the first time in human history, technology is actually failing to innovate fast enough to keep people employed. That is where 'capitalism' or whatever the hell you want to call it is unraveling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-50004627955062809542011-10-31T18:28:28.578-07:002011-10-31T18:28:28.578-07:00http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-pr...http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-producers-death-254263<br /><br />An article that gives insight as to how lowly the Producer is looked at by the Studios, and in turn, the Producer solicits high-end VFX from the lowest of bidders.

Capitalism is not founded on the premise of abusing workers (you'd have to look at real-life, not theoretical, communism and socialism for examples of that).
