First of all, a huge thank you to all on this thread! I am learning so much, and when I have more time, I really want to go over this thread line by line again.
But Capitalism has some sort of built in ethics!! That is why I said it has it's own checks and balances, as society has an impact on capitalism. Capitalism can be expressed as
Profit := supply & demand. That's it. Many people think that it is based on a philosophy, but if you check the history, you wil find that it was a natural evolution of trade in the market place, finding it's place in the expression of pragtamism.
I have never seen a National Convention of Druglords. Why? Society will not allow it, so though it has supply and demand as ground factors, it is not accepted. As we move more into a green area and feminine age, more businesses will follow suit. They will become unacceptable. So with capatalism we have the social factor, and as the end result is profit, it can never be profit at *any cost*.
Like any system it can be abused, and it will be abused, and Yvonne, I get it. In my area we have an electrician with a helipad at his home, so I always go -- How fair is that? How hard is his job compared to mine? What is the world coming to if it rewards a blue collared worker to the extent that I am left behind? Giggles galore....he is a better business man than me.
Training, education, policing, medical staff,clergy -- we take this sector for granted. Why? well mostly because society see this as a calling vs a career. See society's check in action. The minute society changes perspection on that, those careers will enter the true business arena.
As for your friend -- it is his good fortune, and let him lick his jam. There are balances in place that will find him, like Dave said, more people will enter his sector, always happens, and the prices will have to become competitive again.
But do give us more detail on your problems that you face, and perhaps if we all jump in, we can help you out? I surely will try, I know you are in training but I am not sure what training?
