No, capitalism is not the default in economics. Society and commerce existed for thousands of years before capitalism came into existence.

This is a pet peeve, & I refuse to shut up about it

It doesn't need to be added. Once you have a rights-protecting government in politics, capitalism is the default in economics. I think political scientists and professors should know basic stuff like this. The fact that they don't explains how we've arrived at our current predicament in politics.

at first glance, these two signs appear to be giving opposing advice.

one sign says "leave your MAGA husband" and the other says "Fuck the Patriarch" ... now yes, I am SURE the original sign said Fuck the Patriarchy and it was just cut off by whoever took this photo, but you have to admit this is funny.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

The most Omaha protest sign.

A guy holding a sign reading “JD Vance turns left on Dodge St”.

It makes sense to Omahans.
