One problem with capitalism is that there are too many options. Like when you want to buy a car. I hate that there are hundreds of models to choose from. Just one Lada or Trabant would make life a lot easier.

it depends on the country. sometimes capitalism destroys options. did you know that in America, there's only one size of sliced bread? it's the thinnest size. I can go to the store and buy sliced bread, by the same company, in 4, 6, or 8 slices. it's the same size loaf, too. can't do that in America. thin-ass bread for thick-assed retards.

Yeah that's the definition of anxiety

The problem with socialism is it doesn’t reward extra labor. Under a centrally planned economy, a person is allotted a certain amount of flour per day, since the baker is required to feed the same number of people, it is easier for him to bake dense loafs with just flour, water and yeast rather than time consuming croissants. Everything becomes cheap, simple and minimal quality

>>541585234
you dont need a device to toast bread, just a piece of hot metal commonly a frying pan / skillet or griddle.

We don't have capitalism.

There's not that many cars in production.

Amusing when wiggers try to pretend they can change from an omnivore to carnivore by sheer force of will alone. Don't forget your daily dose of benzos for maximum alpha male energy.
>>
yes, you know whats a better option?
communism.
because there you basically have no options and it gets even better: you can even wait for something essential like a car for 2 decades!

>>541585234
correct. exactly how you balance that problem with needing a factor to motivate new innovation, i don't know.

but it's very obvious we don't need 50 different car brands all selling a midsize crossover.

>>541585401
good thing you have a choice so you can choose the correct one for you

man, if only there was some sort of interconnected system of networks full of information one could review to determine which toaster could be the star of your kitchen
>>

>but it's very obvious we don't need 50 different car brands all selling a midsize crossover.
what does it matter, I don't get it. if anyone wants to make a car company and offer 100 different models they can. if people aren't buying them they fail and business stops. simple as. if people are buying then they bring value to the market.
complaining about options is pretty fucking idiotic. just buy the first thing you see
>but I want it to be...
THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE OPTIONS

it's an inefficient use of resources. the market is not inherently rational.

There are studies that people are generally happier going to an ice cream store with ten options than 100
>>
>>541586497
not your problem what someone does with their money/resources. fuck off.
>>
Placing arbitrary limits on the variety of a certain product and enforcing those limits while ensuring only the “best” options make the list would be infinitely more inefficient.

I use my air fryer to make toast.

>>541586544
if you cannot afford to buy something cheap I guess you'll have to spend some more on something that has higher quality. yes you read that right.
see, you can get something cheap, identify failure points and work around them or reinforce them or manage it through how you use it, so it lasts you a long time. it takes skill and knowledge. so some of us can afford to get cheap shit and use it for a long time, we know how to deal with it. some of yous aren't capable since they lack skill, which they must compensate by paying more.
so what you are advocating for is making me pay more for the same shit in the end, because you are too fucking retaded to afford cheap shit. classic commie logic
>>
>>541586796
Once you so this you'll never go back, it's crazy. You make toast that looks like it came from a cartoon it's so perfect
>>
>>541585234
The real problem here is that every company in the world can list on Amazon, so some factory made twenty toasters that didn't sell and now you see it in the search results, and you see every model from every year, whereas you would never know about it in a physical store. The only real solution is to look at number of reviews only and ignore everything else as trash to filter it down to the toasters that matter
>>
geg this is the best bait ive ever seen
>>
I have personally been deliberating on which toaster yo get for years now. YEARS. How the fuck do I choose??
I am entirely detached and unemotional which means simple decisions are extremely difficult (look it up). So the toaster predicament is real. Very real and it is a problem.
>>
>>541585234
That’s why in the last decades marketing has been growing in importance. Most people buy the car brand they have heard of, as in being exposed to, the most. Which is why all major car brands put such an emphasis on corporate identity and selling a shitload of things with their logo on, e.g. children’s toys. Influencers also fill that choice problem capitalism creates with their countless product reviews.
>>
>>541586778
if you standardized on an ideal for most people design, you could drive the cost down and raise the quality floor

Anon... most brands have two different sizes. Are you fucking retarded? You can also do this thing called "buying loaves and cutting them to your desired size yourself".

Fixed that for you. "Capitalism" is an invented word used by Europeans in the nineteenth century to justify theft and murder.

Danke. I will refer to this on my next grocery shopping expedition.

6000 options and they are all shit
>>
>>541588145
Imagine ine company brave enough nto make a really good toaster. The kind you pass down to your children. They make enough and then stop. Instead of infinite toasters, they move on and start making really good washing machines.
Meanwhile, the toasters can be repaired as needed and it created a secondary market for parts.
>>
Or just use your human primate brain to tell yourself I will only choose between two types in the myriad of choice, consciously not look at any others outside the two, and stop being so pathetic that you need a gaggle of other human primates to limit what you can and cannot handle.
>>
>>541586893
Yea once you get the temp/timing down, the results are better than any toaster I've used in my life.

>>541587433
>waste
Better toast. You can fuck yourself bitching about energy, I'll burn fucking tires to power my air fryer if I have to.
>>
>>541586796
I read this as "hair dryer" at first glance, and I was confused.
>>
>>541585234
Technically speaking all these different options are just the same thing but with a slightly different look. Like all the different cereal brands you see in the store are all owned the same corporation and made in the same factory
>>
>>541585234
>I hate that there are...
You should move to the US so you can be forced to choose between shoebox with trunk, shoebox with lift, and oversized shoebox with undersized bed.
The grass is fucking brown.
>>
>>541587427
you want a government bureau set up to test 10,000 toasters and find the ideal?
and you want this for every product in existence?
