Capitalism on its own is very anti-democratic. Given enough time, most industries would become a monopoly.

A strong Democracy should have sufficient guard rails for the population to counteract the influence of capitalism: strong unions, solid worker protections, limitation of money in politics, higher tax rates on wealth, and so on. The Nordic countries are a good example of this.

You always have Joe Rogan if that’s more your scene.

Maybe he left his shed lizard skin on top of the hard drive that caused the overheating?
