"You must charge something for the lemonade,” I explained. “That’s the whole point of a lemonade stand. You figure out your costs — how much the lemonade costs, and the cups — and then you charge a little more than what it costs you, so you can make money. Then you can buy more stuff, and make more lemonade, and sell it and make more money."

Terry Savage

Something about capitalism has always bothered me.  I could never really explain why it made me feel uneasy.  This is fun because Terry Savage single-handedly explained my anxiety.  It is unending, and all that is involved is consuming.  Why do you work?  So you can make money.  Why do you need money?  So you can buy stuff.  When that money runs out you just do it again.  I’m not suggesting that it is terrible, but something about this system always makes me feel queasy.
