A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I think that's the key question. Like, I get capitalism is hedgemonical (is that even a word?), but what alternative do you propose?
"Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others."
What about socialism - ie, everyone gets their basic needs met, but is free to work for more.
It almost seems logical huh
