What are you going to do for the airlines? Assuming you want a flight? You think that you have something to offer to everyone from which you require service?
In a simpler time, maybe. The concept of money and it's exchange has been around a long time, and with reason.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The concept of money has mainly been for the benefit of the lords of the land, not the working people.
There is a damn good reason why Jesus kicked the money lenders out of the Temple.

It applies equally to capitalists though, if not more you want biggest profit from smallest investment. Whether it be money, time or effort.Originally posted by SlowwHand View PostJon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of a Krazyhorsian. Maybe an Asherian.
Or Loin channelling either of the above."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

Not necessarily. You get better production out of well fed, healthy, well motivated workers, and poorly treated slaves require a lot of guarding etc. which isn't cheap.Originally posted by OneFootInTheGrave View Postcapitalists are wannabe slave owners - best ROIJon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

nah - you treat slaves well enough, put them a cheap exploding GPS collar around the neck, which the law enforcement can explode if the slave really does not want to come back, and work to repay his debts... due to tolerable living conditions and the enforcement part - the slaves are content + work for almost free (until they repay the debt). All they cost is food and living space, and you keep that well enough so they do not want to commit suicide instead of continue to work. There is an incentive to upskill as well, so you can repay the debts faster Eventually the free people live for free and indebted slaves work
