Almost all jobs need degrees

2019-06-24 21:21:33 UTC  

If everyone can easily get one why would they hire you

2019-06-24 21:22:38 UTC  

So we should exclude other people from education just to get better jobs?

2019-06-24 21:23:18 UTC  

Or just enact a system in which that’s no longer the case

2019-06-24 21:24:18 UTC  

They aren't excluded

2019-06-24 21:24:43 UTC  

We live in a capitalistic society, with enough work they can acheive what they wish to

2019-06-24 21:25:01 UTC  

I mean,some more statistically minded friends of mine would agree with that notion

2019-06-24 21:25:06 UTC  

But I’m not good with numbers

2019-06-24 21:25:23 UTC  

So...what about the people that work hard but don’t end up achieving things?

2019-06-24 21:25:36 UTC  

They should work harder

2019-06-24 21:25:36 UTC  

Or people who don’t work at all that gain quite a lot?

2019-06-24 21:26:46 UTC  

Everyone that gains alot either started from the bottom or someone else did and passed on wealth to them

2019-06-24 21:27:06 UTC  

I’m not sure I agree

2019-06-24 21:27:14 UTC  

some people start off with significant advantages

2019-06-24 21:27:27 UTC  

And that’s not even taking into account sex and race discrimination

2019-06-24 21:27:38 UTC  

And,take for example

2019-06-24 21:27:40 UTC  

Yes because someone in their family worked hard

2019-06-24 21:27:41 UTC  

Jeff Bezos

2019-06-24 21:27:50 UTC  

His workers work like slaves

2019-06-24 21:27:57 UTC  

They make comparatively little

2019-06-24 21:28:09 UTC  

Considering he’s the richest man alive but doesn’t do much physical labor

2019-06-24 21:28:20 UTC  

That's how capitalism works

2019-06-24 21:28:38 UTC  

Ain’t that unethical then?

2019-06-24 21:28:43 UTC  

At least a little bit?

2019-06-24 21:28:56 UTC  

It's not about ethics

2019-06-24 21:29:05 UTC  

I disagree

2019-06-24 21:29:11 UTC  

It’s always about ethics matey

2019-06-24 21:30:06 UTC  

For example

2019-06-24 21:30:39 UTC  

We have a duty to remove unethical systems
Capitalism is an ethical system
Therefore capitalism should be removed

2019-06-24 21:31:04 UTC  

Do we have that duty?

2019-06-24 21:31:28 UTC  

I would say so

2019-06-24 21:31:34 UTC  

Do you personally free child laborers?

2019-06-24 21:31:43 UTC  

Capitalism isn’t a meritocracy

2019-06-24 21:31:43 UTC  

No

2019-06-24 21:31:44 UTC  

But

2019-06-24 21:31:47 UTC  

I lack the ability to

2019-06-24 21:31:56 UTC  

You can’t say I ought to do something that I can’t do

2019-06-24 21:32:08 UTC  

If I had the ability to then I morally would be obligated to

2019-06-24 21:32:57 UTC  

So we should be vigilantes and fight every unfair system?

2019-06-24 21:33:40 UTC  

Depends if you think violence is justified

2019-06-24 21:33:46 UTC  

I could say that I am moraly opposed to abortion, should I burn down abortion clinics?
