the system loves cruelty
criminalizing poverty and brutalizing criminals is what spins the wheels of capitalism
Our fault for not being born into rich families, I guess? :\
No, no, no; if you work really hard and really apply yourself, you too can become a titan of industry and make your billions of dollars. If you aren’t at least a millionaire, it’s because you are just too dumb and lazy to succeed. Go back to school, work longer hours, read more books, get better ideas. In the meantime, I’m hungry, flip my burger faster, and what do you mean you want more than $7.25/hour, it’s not like this is a real job.
The biggest /s imaginable.

decommodify housing already. wtf is wrong with people.

You could easily provide healthcare for all and housing for all with that money and still have a huge surplus of cash.
capitalism is terrorism
Go move to Cuba then.
Cuba is proof that capitalism is terrorism. Same with Venezuela.
Just as much as USSR and Stalin are proof socialism is genocide.
true, at least she wouldn’t be in jail for the crime of not being able to work with 93
True. Go move then. Or any other non capitalist country.
No? Maybe those are worse than capitalism and we should try to fix it instead of calling everyone terrorists? Ok then.
nah, corporations are literally evil, as in no morals evil
Fire is also no morals evil. Corporations are tools. Dangerous but powerful tools. You use them poorly and you end up with corporations murdering union leaders and poisoning communities. You don’t use them at all and you end up with breadlines and authoritarianism.
neoliberalism and late stage capitalism in its essence
you are right and I invite you to say it louder.
Why is it assumed that the owner can afford to have her live rent free?
What is the point of the private property system?
