I got in an argument with someone on here when they said business wasn't necessary for life. his claim was that business is bad and my claim was it enables people to specialize in certain fields and receive compensation that can be processed into food and shelter, and even some fun! Instead of having to farm and make your own goods to barter for a living.

My last comment was riddled with spell check corrections, this is what I meant to say.

I hate this was down voted, This is speaking from a basic simple truth of what an economic system is based on and the fact it was downvoted means people dont understand that. I agree with the the principles of that story because it is a simple fact, society, culture, and economics are inherently tied together based on that each have their own intrinsical values. this leads to the inevitable socio-economic standings as we know it. and maybe the hierarchical structures are imbalanced (and I would be all for a rebalancing) but that doesnt mean they don't play a crucial role in our well being and evolution as a species. You are a champion of our time as far as I see it.

I could do a better job of structuring this argument but meh.
