@lector247 Who else do you think should pay them? And by the way, if Republicans would quit trying to take over everything and stomp everyone else to the ground, the actual function of capitalism would work - for instance the benefit of having a true universal health care system would put everyone's data in the same place, and allow AI to find out causes and cures of diseases, and best practices would save the vast majority of the costs. And, if we were all paying for the health care system we'd all be looking to reduce our costs, and we might get sick and tired of the garbage food our system produces that makes people sick and makes our health care costs skyrocket. This country is run like a monopoly game so that one guy like Elon Musk can own everything at the end - it is run to ruin most people's lives and families. If we would do it right, we would not have to spread our system by force, it would really work for people and countries would naturally want to be a part of a system that worked so well and efficiently.

Good points, but what is intergenerational elasticity ?

@sebastiancardoso I remember reading at different times that the US is almost dead last in economic mobility in the industrial world.

Lumber prices are never going to drop as wood becomes rare because we did not plant enough trees and are scvenging around the word for the last of the lumber - even as we need the trees to counteract climate change. The super rich can buy anything they need, and pay the labor prices while everyone else cannot afford to survive in a market where everything is sucked up by the rich and their big houses and captured labor. And then we're going to deport all the illegal aliens who are the ones who are happy to work for less than American workers. It is genocide for poor people - without even asking them to reduce their numbers, which they are doing. These Republicans are vicious murderers who can manipulate reality in the media to the point where they can break anything up that starts to crystallize into organized resistance.

True, what is life if you have to spend huge money and time becoming an expert in business just to keep economic vultures from tearing you to pieces.

That is THE REVOLUTION, and all this Trumpian BS is perhaps manufactured to keep a lid on it?

Are people really so stupid that they do not recognize their own political and social self-interest? This idea that all of this with media is a fake reality created to sidetrack and gaslight us into accepting this reality when the real reality is that a lot more people than we know of think the same as you?
