the people who can downvote on this site all have remarkably similar political/ethical positions, or it is my impression at least that is the case. really makes you think huh
As far as I know, you can downvote when you have 500 karma. But it is interesting that the people with that amount seem to run in the bootstraps go brrrr crowd, eh?
You can criticize a person, you can criticize a company, but criticizing capitalism itself is never popular here. I've been called a communist for literally quoting Adam Smith.

Yes?
