Mark Zuckerberg made $29 billion this morning after Meta stock makes record surge::Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth increased by more than $28 billion between your morning coffee and your lunch break.
If you have money you’ll make money. It’s all bullshit. Valuation and stocks and trends… It’s all made up nonsense created to make sure the rich remain rich and Walmart employees remain on food stamps. Why we aren’t constantly protesting or better yet destroying this system is beyond me. I guess the bulk of you assume one day you’ll benefit from this system of suffering so you keep it in place just in case. Fuck.
The reason people aren’t protesting in not some fantasy that they’ll benefit from it one day but that they will fall under the weight of capitalism’s heavy hand if they get recorded protesting and get fired or get a sick day and get fired and lose everything. The reason that the wealthy don’t want a safety net is not just because they hate the poor (they do) but because they have control over a population of workers who live in fear of the economic meat grinder. The system is so much more cynical and cruel than I would have imagined possible.
The answer is simpler: things arent bad enough. Also, nobody is protesting because everyone is sitting around wondering why nobody else is protesting rather than going out and protesting.
I want to destroy it so bad. But my kids are able to sleep peacefully and night and have full bellies. Will the power vacuum we create ensure that survives? Even if I don’t?
I’m glad your kids get the comfort and safety this capitalistic nightmare provides, but many kids don’t.
Help me organize against citizens united and I’ll follow you into the 10 hells. Until then, its just me versus the capitalists that control my life. Thats the mode we all exist in right now. Because I really do know that doing nothing curses them.
I think people are afraid to lose what they even, especially when it isn’t much.
We can destroy it but that’s also discomfort. Your quality of life will likely go down, and if not you, for many as this battle ensues.
I bet you, like me, enjoy leaving the stress of work behind at the end of the day and turning on Netflix, or whatever your vice is, instead of skipping work, and my extension your pay, and not being able to afford the comfort of eating a dinner and watching Netflix after work.
Not everyone is at a point they’re infuriated enough to revolt. A revolution is the only way anything is going to change.
i hate capitalism
Eat the rich. Regulate monopolies
Medium rare, please, let it swim.
Monopolies LOVE regulations.
Yes! They use their monopoly money to buy rules that suit their needs!
I like to write covered calls
