Damn, I’ll probably say it: capitalism is like the embodiment of the law of nature: the strongest survive.
It isn’t how much money but how you make it.
No billionaire ever made their money without necessitating the exploitation that is inherent to being an owning class citizen. Yet, there are also plenty of people of much lesser net worth who exploit workers all the same, just to a smaller extent.
Remember the problem isn’t just billionaires but the system that enables their existence and those who willingly choose to perpetuate it.
You need to add the skeleton as the unemployed
Me, a contractor, warily eyeing the skeleton next to me:
I didn’t think what we have now is even capitalism anymore.
Tesla sales drop on every country except UK, a quarterly report shows losses, stock price? Goes up.
That’s not how capitalism works.
Don’t worry my 4’6" friend … capitalism has made sure to fill the pool to exactly 4’5" … so that you can stay afloat on your own my just standing on your toes … if you drown tho, it’s your fault
