I went to Apple because I was having a problem with my iPhone and they told me I had to go to the AT&T store to fix it. I went to the AT&T store and they told me to go back to Apple. Typical scapegoat capitalism.
I ordered food on Uber Eats, but it never came. I called their customer service line and they told me to reach out to the restaurant. When I called the restaurant they told me I should reach out to my Uber Eats driver. True scapegoat capitalism at work.

Get the scapegoat capitalism mug.You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.
Normal guy: "Dude, your company just took a crap but you just bought that mansion! How'd you do it?"

Get the anarcho-capitalism mug.An oxymoron and an invalid theory. Anarchy is anti-hierarchical, while Capitalism is designed around an economic hierarchy - company owners and company workers as separate classes.
Anarcho-capitalism is invalid for several main reasons:
★ Capital requires a government to issue it and tax it to create demand, and give value to the currency.
★ Anarchy is anti-hierarchy, while capitalism is an economic system designed to sustain a hierarchy.
★ Without government to lower the powers a company has over it’s workers, the companies become the new governments, so to speak. Companies replace the state, therefore “anarcho”-capitalism is not anarchic.
