Yes, I'm fully aware of that - I haven't forgotten Donald Trump's words about getting a small loan of a million dollars from his dad - but I believe the point of capitalism is to convince the masses that working long and hard is the key to success, so that a few smarter people can secretly, like, do hostile takeovers or start hedge funds or something like that, and make themselves richer than other people.

The point of capitalism is to bring profits to the bourgeoisie and all that is peddled by corporations or governments exists to convince the masses that capitalism works. In this very chat, we have a victim of those lies and manipulations.

If capitalism rewards hardworkers, pray tell how is an African child working 12 hours a day in lithium mines gets less pay than Elon Musk?

EXTRA WORK GOING TO SOMEONE LAZYING OFF AND DOING NOTHING??? THAT SOUNDS AWFULLY FAMILIAR! Refer to the above point for more clarity.

I blame that on Reagan, stupid trickle down economics. But also that child is being exploited by both elon and the government that the lithium mine is in. Im not for completely free market i want regulations but if a government is getting money from the lithium mine and the child is getting paid enough to live in whatever country their in, its sad but understandable how it happens. Elon is a wierd case because i hate his guts as a person but do think he has used his money well. Basically what im trying to say is that capitalism has problems but the way to solve it isn't to get rid of capitalism its to improve it. Billionaires have a purpose but it shouldn't cost the middle class so much

I've been applying to base level jobs for over three months and literally not one has even gotten back to me, it's really pissing me off tbh, idk if I'm doing something wrong or what but I really need a source of income rn
