@DrivenByRage wrong back in the day gold was exchanged for money, since 1971 in the USA money is an imaginary concept that works only because people believe in it and because your gorvernment said so.

@crazyprayingmantis5596 No the problem is that you aren't paid proportionally to what you actually produce, but at the same time cashiers, waiters, all those humanitarian jobs, shouldn't exist at all as jobs, let alone get paid for unproductive and unquantifiable(most of them) labour.

My question is who the hell orders domino's pizza? It's utter garbage.

well let's be honest most sociologogy/humanitary and no skill jobs are unproductive and most aren't even quantifiable, in reallity they shouldn't exist as jobs, but as side activities, so those jobs are literally called in economic terms bullsh!t jobs. But Doctors, Engineers, Tradesman/Artisians, Farmers/Agriculturist and people in most commerce fields are underpaid and underappreciated. There should be a law that says that workers should be paid 90-95% what they produce their employers, or that 90-95% of the Net profits should be destributed to the core essential workers of the company.

@lSeKToRl college doesn't teach you almost anything, goes doubly so for STEM, I know from experience. Same with school. I have two dozen friends and acquaintances that started specializing in their field/profession from the age of 10-12, by ditching school as much as possible and going to private courses and most important self-educating and then by the age of 16-18 they got engineering jobs, yes even during high school. Now by the age of 22-25 years old they earn 3-5x the average salary.

@goldwinger5434 So what if you have to stay a year in the hospital, and pay what the US makes you pay, would you have a problem then? When you are millions in debt and you have been fired for 10 months. :P

@goldwinger5434 see the problem is that your what-ifs are many times less likely than what I described. As what I described in lighter or heavier capacity happens in countries like the US. People have to choose between their life and crippling debt...

@goldwinger5434 So you are born in the slums and there is no realistic chance of you to get wealthy and thus you should die? Also the moment there are laws, natural selection goes out the window, so don't give me this crap unless you don't follow laws.

@goldwinger5434 Yeah right, lack of connections, lack of upbringing, lack of opportunities as well due to the lack of wealth. Schools and universities are useless and I do mean actual engineering degrees and in the US you can't even get one without going into debt, but that's a whole different story. On top of that, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, despite the poor working more advanced jobs than ever and harder than ever, and longer than in the past 80 years and soon it will be longer than ever. Because the rich avoid taxes through tax deductions and all sorts of evasions, they snowball and snowball. At the same time, they take away money from the economy and circulation and profit much, much more than the growth of the economy... And their investment in the stock market is almost always buying stocks from another stock trader, not from the company so they don't invest extra money in the company, just get ownership and potentially dividends. On top of that starting, your own business in most spheres now requires a lot of money, the mentality of people to want to work only for the biggest companies means that small, medium and even smaller-big businesses can't grow and expand. So you basically have to luck out to succeed on top of putting at least 80 hours of hard work a week for your entire life... Basically, the chances are almost comparable to the chances of winning the loterry and are approaching them with every decade. The other option is to invest and hope nothing goes wrong, but yeah right. And then spend your life accumulating compound interest and again hoping nothing will go wrong, but it does about every 12 years or so for the past 50-55 years. or so. And everyone fails to mention people whose investments weren't big enough to survive those downtimes and crises.

Also the USA had some of the best worker unions from the end of the 19th century until the cold war, but your fear mongering of the CCCP basically eliminated them and this is the result.

@sandycharlton1707 yeah no, economies aren't real either, just like currency they only work because people believe in them, pretend they are real and accept them. And when I say accept them, I mean they are forced to accept them, well everyone born in the past few thousand years... I doubt many would accept them willingly, except for the people who invented and spread the concept in the first place and the first generation to accept it... And we have to accept it, just like laws, otherwise the group of people with guns, tasers and bats will come and murder you, or even worse lock you in a room for the rest of your life... Freedom!

@JohnnyAmerique absolutely true.

come to Europe, it's full of stick shift cars. Automatics are rare. IDK why, but that's how it is.

@ropersix well there are no manual electric cars to my knowledge and some just have one gear and a reverse.

Chips have been in short supply since 2017 but ok.

@go_offurself8748 No it's fascism, capitalism assumes the government does NOT in any way, shape or form get involved in the economy. And not only does the government get involved in the economy, they work with big corporations for their mutual benefit while oppressing the masses.

There should be a law where workers get paid 90-95% of what they produce their employer or that 90-95% of the net profits should go to the core essnetial workers of the company as bonuses, it would fix everything.
