Technically it is
man we should have a debate channel
@Hellhound6 we had that kind of wealth system at one point
@AKAlexei I think that's a semantics argument, I consider investing as giving money to the company through stock or % ownership
I kn9w
@CatLoverKid agreed
Semantics
Autism
Basically "if you cant afford to invest it sucks to be you stay poor"
I see we are having an in depth discussion on economics
@Foxhound do you have more than $1 in your bank?
why don't you invest it?
get a robinhood
do research into emerging companies, and invest in them
I mean invest in certain guns and armor
Just sayib
oof
feel free to do that, but be careful lol
You were saying?
LOL
damn son
But what should take place instead is that people need to start finding ways to create worker owned businesses with councils that help to ensure that the employees actually control their working environments. Bureaucracy and some "hierarchy" is necessary due to specialization (like if there's one dude who knows about company insurance policies he should be the one to tend to that), but for the most part, people should have control over their workplace. I don't believe in seizing the means because it historically fails, but I do believe it needs to grow organically
nothing stops you from doing that right now you know
excuse me, very little does
Lack of capital, lack of production line, and more than likely, regulation
that's a very good point
so the issue is: How do you raise capital for a corp?
production line comes from capital
regulation can come from within the company
oops, typo fixed
Not everyone can afford to invest you fucking autist. This is literally what makes people *Hate* the system you seem to support because they cannot get ahead. Konot is losing his home and risking life and limb. I'm losing my home and scrambling to find one. How dare you sit there and say "Have you not a dollar? Why, you should invest it!" That's retarded. Given the choice between a stock that might pay out or might fail altogether against actually being able to eat and afford my needs? I'll chose the latter thank you. Put your faith in banks and stocks. If financial collapse hits, itll be the poor coming after your blood and after the blood of those that betrayed our very life for the Almighty Dollar.
I should've been clearer in my statement. Regulation as in government regulation; I don't know for certain, but I'm almost positive that there are government regulations in place that make it difficult for a truly workers run business to come to fruition
Also, Deaths Head, just to be clear since I know I haven't updated people much? But it's no longer a losing my home situation. I HAVE lost my home
Just wanted to be clear
I think that so long as everyone is on the ownership contract, it works out. Granted, the contract/legality isn't gonna be easy
That simply strengthens my point.
wait you guys owned homes?
I rented with my mom... and now I can't do that anymore. Trying to live with her means costs go up and we can't afford food
Same here.
