She could have gotten more for less but not by much when you are hiring it all out. Doesn’t even look like she touched the tile backsplash, which would be 1-2k more.
I remodel kitchens in the midwest, and we would charge a lot more than that for this size kitchen. She clearly didn’t spend for a designer, though.
As an American who had every kind of toy gun growing up, this ad still rubbed me the wrong way, and I wasn’t sure why until I read your comment. I think realistically, this is just a toy gun maker that has slightly modified their product so they can use the word “fidget” for marketing. Can’t say I blame them, but it’s still weird and a little too subliminal.
No it can’t because it’s not a form of government, it’s just an economic system. Communism is both a type of government and an economic system. That means concentrated power.
American democracy definitely needs to be improved (ranked 36 in the world), but do you think I have less of a voice in the election process than I would under communism?
I support democracy and oppose authoritarianism. Capitalism needs better regulations today, but I don’t believe that the government controlling all business would lead to anything besides more authoritarianism.

When the current government is not doing a very good job at maximizing the happiness of its citizens, it’s a natural reaction to look for answers from a different type of government. America has some enormous problems with capitalism as it currently operates, and communism offers solutions to many of those problems. The issue is the top-down power structure. Democracy keeps the most power in the hands of the general population, and i will always oppose giving that up. Beyond that, I’m open to any solutions for modern problems, public or private.
