Even with a global pandemic going on, America still runs on capitalism. maybe if america wasn’t dumb, followed other counties by paying 70-80% of the wages of everyone and stopped saying they can’t afford things like M4A but then spending more than it costs to implement it.

And that Elon is only throwing a tantrum cuz this will affect his monetary growth? Damn You know, an extreme example, but... not all people get kidnapped into sex slave trade, like in a stereotypical way - most of them go into it willingly, at least in a sense that it gets pitch to them as temporary work and a good opportunity to travel - they don't realise right away that they're being lured into a situation that's rigged against them, and even if they do, some people just don't have any other options... Maybe you should tell victims of the sex slave trade 'hey, this is the job you decided you should have, that's why you're here' - see how well that's gonna go over Sex slave trade is your answer? California is the fifth economy in the world. If people in California dont have options, no one has them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And it’s not only about being ignorant to Elon’s success, it also shows their ignorance to the world they live in and having no actual knowledge on the frontiers of science and technology.

alsemanche 97,799 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Anyway, I'm done here, I have better things to do than inform people that capitalism is utter bullsh*t as if it's not clear enough and as if they don't know it but still give 0 f*cks.

And we're all going to pretend Gaga isn't part of this exploitation. All the wigs she wears, dresses and costumes, the parts used to all the technology that runs her tours and props, are all made and exploited by cheap labor in Asia and South America.

Sweetie I'm willing to hate on Gaga for years and the people who know me in real life know that I refuse to give her 1$ from my money or show her any tangible support. The only conversation y'all aren't willing to have is the one related to the workers' rights because you care more about their boss's innovations. Now for real, goodbye.
