  • That dude still owned the fucking company. And it was a publicity stunt. Elon musk goes years without a paycheck. That doesn’t mean anything. The CEO still owned the company which is worth millions when he sells it.

    You keep using the word Capitalism in your critique but have not given a single example of a working solution. That spans whole economies. Because you can’t. Every attempt has failed.


  • Immigration hurts wages. Poor people don’t need a cheap Barbie doll or cheap iphone. They would be better off with a construction job, building their own house on cheap land but illegal Mexicans make that impossible. The Mexicans don’t pay taxes. If they start to get caught they just go back to Mexico. They form groups that don’t hire Americans. Happens in every immigration community in one way or another.


  • Poor people generally do not like cheap labor. One of the main reasons the north didn’t like slaves in America was because poor free white people could not compete in the job market with cheaper slaves. Example modern times. Upper class people like cheap labor to cut their grass.(Mexicans) Poor people are going to cut their own grass, whether it’s 40$ or 25$.


  • Classism. Lol some rich kid who took to much shit college is gonna lecture me on what class I am.

    then there shouldn’t be rich people.

    Again there will always be rich people because some people are just better than other people. You will never stop that. There will be moms who smoke crack pregnant and make a dumb kid. Some people are just genetically unlucky. You can change who the current rich people are. That’s called war. But you will just switch who the rich people are. Not remove them.

    Go see the grand daughter of Mao Zi Dong in China.

    She is rich. Because all they did about classism is kill some of the current rich people, along with a bunch of poor people and make new rich people.

    Then we have both immigrants and good job

    Just shows how little you understand about supple and demand and how finite resources work.

    Did you not understand my example?

    If a boss makes 90k per year how can he pay his cleaner 80k per year?

    He can’t. You can make everyone poor I guess. But it will be worse not better than capitalism. And eventually capitalism will come back because it’s the natural way of producing goods and services


  • What meaningful alternative does someone have who only qualifies for slave wages have?

    Is it the employer’s responsibility to help pay someone more than they are worth, who wasted their life instead of getting good at something?

    If I pay someone 10$ to mop a floor because that person wants to make some money and this is how I can help am I evil for not giving them 80k per year if I only make 100K?

    Whose choice is determinative here: the employers, the native-born employees, or the immigrants?

    We live in a democracy. Rich people like cheap labor. Two things will always be true.

    1. Rich people will always want cheap immigrant labor.
    2. There will always be fewer rich people than normal people.

    So go vote to stop immigration and vote to fund employment training.

    Or is it my responsibility to be more attractive in the labor market than immigrants?

    The person most responsible for yourself will always be yourself.
