The question is irrelevant. Capitalism per se is not humane or inhumane; neither is socialism. If we compare the two in terms of results, it is clear that only capitalism fosters equality and works toward social justice. The one is based on the principle of voluntary cooperation and free exchange, the other on force of position and power. In a free economy, it is hard to do good; you either have to use your own hard-earned money to do it or work hard to persuade others to your course. But by the same token, it is difficult to do harm because by preventing a concentration of power, capitalism prevents people from committing sustained, serious harm. Is capitalism humane or inhumane? It is neither. But it tends to give free rein to the human values of human beings.
From Rob O'Neill, the guy who killed Bin Laden:
"General Mattis has a bear rug in his home, but it's not dead. It's just afraid to move."
Seattle employees ask for REDUCED hours so that "jacked-up" minimum wage won't cost them subsidized housing: Gee, who could have seen this coming?
Now this is downright funny. They scream for a higher minimum wage, then, when they get it they complain because they make too much money to qualify for the free stuff, go figure. By jacking up minimum wage, Seattle has provided a valuable lesson in liberal economics. The plan has now backfired.
Nora Gibson, executive director of Full Life Care, told Seattle 's KIRO 7 TV she saw a sudden reaction from workers when Seattle 's phased minimum-wage ordinance took effect in April, bringing minimum wage to $11 an hour. She said anecdotally, some people feared they would lose their subsidized housing so they have asked that their work hours be reduced to remain eligible for all government subsidies.
It doesn't stop at $11/hour. The law puts it up to $15 starting January 1, 2017, they will have to reduce their work hours even more to remain eligible for handouts. Good thing the minimum wage wasn't raised even higher, most would not work at all, they prefer to be spoon fed and remain on the government plantation.
So now workers work fewer hours, but for the same take home pay, business' labor costs increase so prices increase, buyers (workers) pay more and no one is better off.
Remember free market capitalism? Under that system, the harder and smarter you worked, the higher your standard of living. But that was found to result in income inequality, so now we have a system where wealth is bestowed by bureaucrats, and working harder doesn't always make sense.
Just a little bit at a time until America is gone, and turns into Venezuela next...
AND YOU WONDER WHY TRUMP WON?!?!
On April 25, 1976 at a baseball game at Dodger Stadium, two people tried to burn the American flag in the middle of the playing field. Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs swiftly stepped in and grabbed the flag and brought it to safety.
Heres a refresher course for the self evident tuth logic commonsense challenged amongst us!

Freemen do not ask permission to bear arms. 4. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject. 5. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them. 6. Firearms control is not about firearms; it’s about control. 7. You only have the rights you are willing to fight for. 8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns no peace no safety. 9. You don’t shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive. 10. Assault is a behavior, not a device. 11. 64,999,987 legal firearms owners killed no one yesterday. 12. The United States Constitution © 1791. All rights reserved. 13. The second amendment is in place because idiot politicians ignore all the others. 14. What part of “shall not be infringed, Do you not understand”? 15.

Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster, speaking in Ontario says:
"I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against
another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal
of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious
beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.”
"That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, The Turban Cowboy, and the other, a topless bar, would be called You Mecca Me Hot.”
"Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and
adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called Iraq of Ribs.”
“Across the street there could be a lingerie store called Victoria
Keeps Nothing Secret, with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods, and on the other side a liquor store called Morehammered.”
"All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us.
Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on. And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point, it is either past your bedtime, or it’s midnight at the oasis and time to put your camel to bed..
Fighting in the streets is dumb, but you have to be a special sort of stupid to try and take on the much larger man who also happens to be a bouncer at the bar you just got kicked out of. But that’s exactly what this random tough guy tried to do, and unfortunately for him, the odds were stacked even further outside his favor. It turns out the bouncer, one John Hernholm, is also an MMA fighter with a 5-0 amateur and 1-0 pro record.
But poor drunkbro doesn’t know this, so off his shirt comes and he stalks in thinking he’s going to somehow destroy the 320-pound Hernholm, who leans forward and sticks his chin out enticingly. As soon as the shirtless guy throws a wild hook, Hernholm leans back and the punch sails harmlessly in front of his face. He then proceeds to knock the dude’s head off with a short uppercut to the jaw.
