"Profit is the signal that a need was actually satisfied by voluntary choice"

"What’s always evaded when people say 'capitalism is about profit, not needs' is that profit is the signal that a need was actually satisfied by voluntary choice. 
    "No one earns profit unless others judge the product or service worth more than the money they give up. ... 
    "When they say capitalism 'fails' to supply needs that aren’t profitable, what they’re really admitting is this: People do not value those needs enough to sacrifice their own resources for them."
~ Rock Chartrand

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
