-—growing up in bizness: To your point about dumbing down production, schooling etc. in my growing up years we referred to “free enterprise.” The geniuses you’re talking about have substituted “capitalism” for that, as tho there is a pile of money around just waiting to get you started. But free enterprise refers to us who started with our bare hands, disregarded the alleged geniuses, and built stuff people wanted or needed. I still, 7 decades later, do that, but I sure do see a bunch of one-dimensional slugs around who can do just one thing and usually not good enough to make it last.

The left is trying to make free enterprise a dirty word, because it implies you might be totally ignoring them and their "Social" agenda.
