Lately it feels like we’ve transitioned from late capitalism to full on after-hours capitalism. Eerie vibes. No rules or regulations to speak of. Aggressive weirdos with power making everyone uncomfortable.

You ever look up in wonder at the infinite expanse of the night sky and think “I would like to traffic slaves there”

If Elon Musk lost 99.9% of his net worth, he would still have $250 million to his name.

My only Netflix stock take is that maybe it isn't actually smart to base our entire financial system on the belief that everything needs to grow constantly forever to have any value.

In 2020 @JeffBezos made $8 million an hour. Every hour. @elonmusk? He made $18 million an hour. Every hour. The idea philanthropy is the answer when you make that much money is absurd. You can’t give it away quickly enough. The ultra rich should a pay a *lot* more tax.

this is literally just capitalists admitting they don’t support a free labor market lmao

I think billionaires should pay throttlingly burdensome taxes, not to improve society, but because it makes them sad.

Casual reminder that a huge reason that they don't want you to work from home anymore is because in terms of capitalism, it makes the dozens of skyscrapers and office buildings they built obsolete, impractical, unprofitable, and a generally bad financial investment.

Cancelling a subscription in protest is the only way consumers can make their voices heard. It's not "cancel culture". It's called capitalism. The very thing most of these right-wing podcasters advocate for. And guess what, the pressure is working.

When you see articles claiming Covid is affecting people in ways no one could have predicted, please remember *all of this* was predicted, but we listened to economists & corporations instead.

$10,000 is a lot of money, right? If you made $10,000 every day since 1776, you still wouldn't have $1 billion today. Stop defending modern day robber barons.

Why is it always "McDonald's workers don't deserve to be paid as much as paramedics," and never "CEOs don't deserve to be paid three thousand times more than paramedics"?

Look I'm not a fan of Capitalism, but it seems that there's a pretty simple patch that would help right now: Hire more people to do less work each, but for more money. Flatten salaries.

as if the answer is "welp, we just gotta go ahead and be evil I guess" instead of LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE

Ian Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater)Thu, 30 Dec 2021 05:52 GMT

tech as a field is so morally bankrupt that when someone respected gets a job at a shitty company, the best defense we offer is "well every other tech company is evil too". how we can be this depressed & nihilistic while still having so much support for capitalism is beyond me.

In case this wasn’t obvious to you all, the CDC’s new recommendation to shorten the quarantine period from 10 to 5 days is a business decision, not a public health decision.

Stop asking children what they want to “do” when they grow up. By doing so, you center their existence around labor and capital. Labor is not a dream. Ask them what makes them happy. Ask them in what ways do they imagine themselves being happy in the future. Then hush and listen.

Some people can't even afford their medical or grocery bills while others drop $650k on a fake boat. This is the worst timeline.

Someone paid $650,000 for a virtual mega-yacht. I repeat: the yacht does not exist beyond a virtual world called “The Sandbox.” Every time I see a story like this I not only think we need to rein this in, but also that taxing the rich isn’t enough; we need expropriation.

“What radicalized you against capitalism?” Watching a guy buy the last PS5 in stock in front of me, then immediately walking it across to the CEX to sell it for profit, which CEX then sells for >2x the RRP. From chatting, both stores are under instruction to just allow it.

The wealth of UK billionaires is up by £106,500,000,000 in the pandemic. But instead of making them pay more, the Tories are raising National Insurance, hitting low paid & young workers the hardest. Social care should be funded with a wealth tax, not a tax on the working class.
