They would like to sell you a cloud storage subscription, but they do give you the option to use local physical storage (or iCloud) instead.
Every single use of the word "capitalism" means the poster spews propaganda rather than logic. The word has become useless.
There are two main definitions:
* the most used one (by several orders of magnitude!): "any economic system other than communism, including even those that don't use money at all (like early kibbutzim), except for neanderthals ("primitive communism")". This meaning has been used in communist countries to refer to the outside world; we had entire universities devoted to such concepts.
* free market economy. This one would exclude eg. current USA as they have devolved into corporatism. Stuff like bailouts is an anathema to free market. Free market has its flaws (see eg. late 19th century USA) but makes most of current USA ills impossible: high insulin prices? New makers will pop up in months! As long as the govt deals with monopolies and fraud, it's a sane system.

Proper language use is almost nowhere to be found anyway and seems to be too much effort for people. They use whatever easy or fancy expression they feel like at the time.
In other words - basically nothing has changed over the past several millennia.
right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.
Those types of fishing expeditions run counter to the basic principle of "presumed innocent until proven guilty", at least in my mind. So I'm not crying over this news.
Bingo!
