Ahh, capitalism. Serving up the greatest innovations of our time! ... Innovations protecting capital...
I seriously don't know how morons think it's the source of the good parts when the internet was invented by and is managed by the principles of Communism. Government-made but NOT charged for, managed largely by the engineers who have the talent and knowhow (all of the bodies working on specifications like HTTP, TLS, HTML, JavaScript, etc)...
If all of the tech worked off of the principles of Capitalism, every single person who's contributed would want to charge for their work and the licensimg just to launch a static website would require a fcking army of beurocrats to sort.
Then there'd be "innovation" from accounting firms to make it a one-stop "solution" to the problem by charging everyone to deal with it. Then the lobbyists would petition Congress to make you HAVE to use those services, and suddenly, the politicians think they've solved the problem when all they've done is institutionalize the cost.
and that's the power of Capitalism mixed in with the government!
