Capitalism is a garbage system which causes global warming,

Global warming is a natural process that occurs without us. 

The issue really lies within how much we're speeding it up. At a natural, gentle speed, life will adapt as the planets conditions change, but if we speed it up too much then the potential for the species to adapt to it through fit offspring goes down exponentially. 

If you're really so concerned about it, you ought to start killing cows, as they are responsible for 2/3 of our ammonia output, and produce about as much pollution as a car. 

As well as, screw over the majority of the people

The majority of people are basically screwed either way. 

The question is closer to which majority ought to be screwed. 

Computers and most of technology has it's roots in state research, companies only build off of that basic structure. 

A lot of what people are after these days is closer to Census Data. 

Data on the population is basically the new oil standard. 

then you end up wasting $400 on a blender that doesn't even work. 

This is why you need to look at product reviews before purchasing something. 

 I'm saying that it is the fault of capitalism as to why it is sped up, and continues to be, businesses don't care about the environment, they'd rather make a buck. 

It's closer to being an issue with supply and demand. 

Feeding this many people is not an easy task. While I do agree their their shortcuts taken do more harm than good (like fencing animals super closely together), this boom was from trying to meet a demand that otherwise appeared impossible to fulfill. 

Meat isn't normally meant to be this readily available. It's through "Capitalism" that the demand for supplies could be met, and in a grisly dystopian sort of way they accomplished their goal of feeding a nation. 

You could propose people go vegan or something to try to reduce our reliance on factory farms, thereby reducing the cow population and thereby reducing the amonia/methane content on the Earth, but I think you know how well that'd go. 

My point of bringing up technology is to show why private companies are not that innovative, rather they just base their ideas off of state research which has been more effective. 

I thought a lot of companies went with their own research departments so that they could have their advertisers stack the statistics and withhold releasing risky low chance side effects. 

Sure, people should read product reviews

I do, and it's how I've ended up with things that last for at least a decade. 

I don't buy shit like that, but it's a waste of resources to build shit that breaks or is flawed in design, and only serves to make companies more profit because it's cheap, easy to produce, and if it breaks, people can just keep buying new ones because they're fucking idiotic. 

This is why you check the product reviews. Some things these days are still built to last. 

My point is, nothing will change if you don't remove the system that generates said problems. 

Do you understand why they try to sell a purposely faulty product beyond profiting off of the use of cheaper materials? 

Anything they can only make money on by selling it once is considered "wasted potential" on the market. If you could sell 20,000 units once, why not design a way to make that profit more than once? The idea of selling a software license that can only be used on so many machines is like the digital equivalent of the same idea. Windows has tried to get around this by effectively charging a rental fee to use their OS. It's effectively the same thing without wasting materials. 

If you can find a way for those companies to make as much money with one product as they would with multiple copies of that product, then you can try to fix the problem. As is, it keeps not just the crafters paid, but also the entire line related to materials and parts.

Fuck coddling violent offenders in prisons. Adults convicted of more than one murder, aggravated assault / aggravated sexual assault, rape, or child rape should be sent to win or die in gladiator pits, against every other violent criminal convicted the same year.

One violent criminal every year would get to walk away with a $2million cash prize, a clean record, and a new identity  if he kills every other contender. They would be dropped into the pit 20 at a time, and games would last until there is only one winner in each country. Women would fight in a separate stadium.

Repeat offenders in for crimes of poverty (eg fraud or drugs) could opt to keep "doing life on the installment plan" as it were, or they could choose to fight in the pits (if they've been sentenced 4 or more times.)

People dx'd with a terminal illness or psychiatric disorder that makes them miserable and suicidal could also opt to fight for the prize. There would be a "mercy" option for people who murder as a result of a psychotic disorder, and don't want to get hacked apart slowly by sociopaths, and for suicidal people who lose their nerve after they sign in. They may ask for mercy, and their opponent would kill them quickly, or an armoured ref with an assault rifle would step into the pit and and kill them both (if the opponent asked for mercy refuses.) Disqualification for breaking what few rules there would be would result in instant death by firing squad for the offender.

Coaches could be added to the personnel employed in our prisons, to help contenders train for their fights in the months leading up to the Main Event.

The pits themselves  would be bought in one of the country's rustbelts, for dirt cheap.

http://www.googlesightseeing.com/2011/12/abandoned-stadiums-of-the-united-states/

Tickets, refreshments and memorabilia would be sold to raise money for the purse, and for a Victims of Violent Crimes fund. Families of the contenders, victims and their families, and a limited number of Press could film the events from special seating for a $25000 ticket price. Those who are not employed by a media outlet and bound by their rules  may profit any way they wish from their coverage of the event, as long as they are the immediate family of a victim or a contender, and can prove it at least 48 hours prior to the event, when they book their seats.

Other tickets would cost between $100 and $1000, depending on seating. Binoculars could be provided for the nosebleed section  xD

Everybody who enters the stadium as a spectator would be processed as an offender entering the prison system, to prevent media leaks and weapon smuggling. No personal effects, including clothing, would be allowed. All spectators will wear state designated uniforms and sign waivers about lost belongings and injuries sustained as spectators. Payments for food and souveneirs would be processed in advance, with computerized canteens accessible by thumbprint scans. $25000 ticketholders would show up 3 hours early, so their equipment can be checked before they enter the stadium. They will also have to wear uniforms, and pay for food, beer, etc. with their thumbprints.

Betting could be open to the public for 12 hours prior to the start of the games. (It should be regulated by the state, imo bc of huge potential for fraud, but I'm not sure how that would be carried out.)

Security would be tight during the games, as well.

Contenders would fight with blunt and edged weapons, only. No cumbustibles.

Hehe. I almost forgot. 

There would be a special ritual, optional for the victim or up to 4 immediate family members of a victim.

Any offender can offer vindication for a victim, allowing him or her to deal the killing blow (for religious or personal reasons where a criminal would want some kind of absolution before dying.) The opponent would simply be declared the winner and move on to the next match. The vindication bringer (?) would be honoured as some kind of... ? hero? depending on w/e religious provisions s/he wants to put in place. Religious people will also do what they do prior to the competition, and in the arena, as the fights play out.

The monetary compensation from the Victims of Crime Fund would be the same, whether the victim opts to deliver the killing blow or not.

a society based on an ideology of ethnostate or whatever is gay

if they happen to win a war or whatever all they'll do is indulge in self masturbation as all they wanted to do is to prove that they're superior to others, once the competition is over where will they derive their motivation from, it'll only be a homogenous entity and capitalism will reign again anyways, also new ideas have always stimulated development, for eg. european mathematicians needed to import lots of notations and stuff from eastern math, different cultures giveive different ideas there is no progress without dissent.

TPG also wrote in a previous post that Hitler was good for the Jews. Just wtf?

Contradict yourself much?
