I see what your saying, and your absolutely right with the short term gains aspect of it when making money for shareholders (aka people like me) instead of improving workers. I hated minimum wage barely had any money to invest after bills. And im willing to admit that i got lucky, was very early in bitcoin and ethereum and had more money than i knew what to do with when i was 19. One thing i regret is i didnt make any memories when i was a teenager from ages 16 to 21 i was working 60 70 80 hrs a week plus school (pretty much a slave to the almighty dollar). The saving aspect i have trouble agreeing in certain situations saving is near impossible but most of the kids in school were more focused on the new iphone and new gaming systems. Id like to think that materialism (terrible spelling i know) has a big role to play. Dont get me wrong starting off in a low income household sets you back agaisnt the rest of the country no doubt. Its much harder to rise out of that and near impossible in our current system. Somehow i managed to get a little extra capital and got super lucky and im trying my best. And im sure youd cringe up hearing me saying this but ever since i was 15 i told myself im gonna be in the 1%. I just hope once i finally get their i wont be eaten hahaha. At the end of the day your a good person and in your heart you want to help people and i respect that. I simply disagree on execution in most cases. Thanks for the response most people i talk to about this just say i hate the poor. One question that ive all ways had, is capitilism doomed to devolve to cronyism? If this was day 1 70 yrs from now when people gained enough capital is it enevitable that they will buy off politicans? Is this something that can not be fixed in capitilism and will be doomed to always happen? thanks
