Obviously you have to forge your own path, I'm quite obviously not saying that. But when the game is rigged from the start? It gets a little hard to "blaze your own path".

wait wait. Are you criticizing their method of acquiring wealth? Or their impunity from the legal system. Because history has shown that NO MATTER WHAT system we use, the powerful are invincible against the legal system

Kill everyone

Problem solved

because criticizing them for having sex rings (which is very bad lol and worthy of criticism) has nothing to do with HOW they got their wealth

with maybe 3 exceptions, max. For the EXTREMELY rare case where the person acquired their wealth BY trading people. Which is a minority of the cases

Lmfao what a joke

hey man, you're free to think what you want

but the cards are gonna show it at the end of the day. You can make it no matter where you started from under capitalism

I really have a tough time understanding why people think it's rigged against them from the start due to capitalism. setting aside disabilities, there's very very little stopping you from attaining a VERY respectable income under capitalism

When the world rusts and rots, it is at the hands of greedy people. People who don't care what damage they do to obtain what they want, and people who don't care if they hurt people. But what puts the world right is when our compassion and humanity regrows and overtakes all that has died and gives it new life, like a tree that grows from the ashes of a volcanic eruption. When we remember that people matter, that life matters, that our world matters, suddenly, you create something so beautiful and unconquerable that nothing can stop it. It's not a question of politics or economics, it's a question of do we want to help each other just as much as we want to help ourselves?

I agree, but I have no faith that the world will be rid of greedy people. They'll always spoil the bunch. Why not use your greed to help people? The world is NOT a zero-sum game, you can acquire wealth while still helping others

if I can produce a product to help people, then why wouldn't I market it so that I can not only invest in research on how to make it cheaper and for more people, but also to fund my life and my ability to produce more products in the future?

Problem is no one seems to care about the limited resources

invest in solar

Yeah, I agree. But its not profitable as non reusable resources like pretoleum and sort

And those resources will die off

that's true... unfortunately. I'm working on that one though :)
Maybe someday

They're finite

Dont think corporations would open handly throw out money for the good of mankind

They won't have to

they do, but only out of the generosity of their founders. Which is unfortunately very rarely

Because eventually they'll realize that they can't eat money

So

Does that phrase apply in a world that isn't run on fiat currency?

about eating money

Look up social credit

Yes

It applies

That's what I want

but, provided that people agree on the value of something, isn't money able to be traded FOR food

Or barter

exactly

Bartering was how the world worked for millenia

And it worked better

money IS barter, just easier to transport and easier to appropriate value on items

Not really
