A German on capitalism.

An adjunct colleage is from Germany, and the other week I bumped into her at a unionization reception and we really had a chance to talk and get to know each other.

For one thing, she did a degree in Catholic theology, and she says she doesn't believe in miracles or anything, but it really has influenced her to go for unionization, to make things better for everyone.

"You know," she was like, "Growing up in Germany, we were taught that capitalism is hell.  And you know what, now I am in hell, and it is!".

(She was referring to the United States, and how awful it is to its citizens, which she's talked about before.)
