    I find it comforting to know that capitalism puts us in a position where a single sunken cargo ship can cause an ecological disaster and contaminate the water supply of millions.

    It’s not like ships would ever sink or be the target of an attack.

      Socialism would still need to transfer fertilizer and other hazardous materials somewhere
