we are in the transitional period between the end of the American empire and the beginning of the multipolar world that is post Christian, post west, and post America.

The worse thing is how culturally stagnate we are, at least the British created great pop music and poetry during their decline

>But there's obviously an equilibrium point where the return on capital will be too low for someone to come along and open another burger joint.
Ya, this is why there exists an average rate of profit from the micro prospective but at the macro level profit on average should still be pushed downwards; employees want to work for those who will pay them the most, there exists many other pressures that should push down the average rate of profit towards 0 in a competitive market economy.

>there is a limited amount of capital to go around and it is deployed where it can get the maximum return
Capital isn't a fixed entity, when it's wanted it can be brought into existence. Also a burger grill can't REALLY "transmigrate" into a transport vehicle to get the maximum return it theoretically could once it's created [even if it was an "unprofitable" decision], the effect will last.

>And it's not like a certain return on capital is somehow guaranteed. Tons of burger joints close because they were unprofitable.
Those unprofitable burger joints end up having an effect on the average profit rate of all other burger joints and how they have to operate. An "unprofitable" business can actually survive for a long time in the real world.


The move towards lower profit rates in a successful economy is the key contradiction of capitalism. All real world capitalists know this at least on an unconscious level. Only state intervention can make business enterprise profitable, that's why the capitalists class collectively call for bail-outs in times of crisis.
