I'm no lover of capitalism, but I do understand how a little capitalism does help an economy of a government(s); but too much really degrades common sense or corrupt capitalism preys on those without common sense. This little rant is from when I saw this commercial about an automatic soup pump, and their reasoning, telling people to buy it is so that "your family won't spread any diseases" (not word-for-word) by not touching the soup-pump and getting filthy. Ok, let's think this out, when you wash your hands, your hands are dirty, the soup-pump is too, but you touch the pump to get soup, to clean your hands, after you are done washing your hands do you touch the soup pump again? No, and if you do, you have soup on your hands, which means you have to wash your hands again.
The problem is, which the commercial conveniently doesn't talk about, is when you touch, with your dirty hands, your faucet's knobs, turning the water on, and then turning them off with clean hands, which makes your hands dirty again. That is why hospital care workers HAVE TO use either motion-sensor faucets, or use dispensable towels to turn the faucet knobs off after washing their hands. The soup-pump is not a big concern! It is a luxury only! I get if you want to sell a product you need to tell the reasons for selling the item or even the reasons behind why the product was ever made, but to create a lie to the consumers, to fear them in buying the product is a whole other unethical marketing. Now, whether the marketing company had the common sense about what was said above and actually lied, well that is to them and whomever you pray to, but this rant I hope will help people use common sense before buying a product, and not letting commercials doing the thinking for you. But, again, if you like the luxury of an automatic soup-pump buy it, but not because you were scared of buying the product. This was more of an example of corrupt capitalism at play anyways, I wouldn’t mind an automatic soup-pump, but I’d rather get an automatic faucet before I get it though.
