1/ You can’t be a capitalist if you don’t have any capital. People who have been consistently and routinely kicked out of a system that distributes capital unfairly have an understandable resentment of how that system is played.

2/ It is totally understandable why tens of millions of American young people would say “What has global capitalism ever done for me?” They figure “What is it about socialism that should scare me? The free healthcare or the free college?”

3/ Everything happening is part of a Great Correction, messy & painful but needed. GameStop was a shot across the bow. American capitalism will claim an ethical center & the US government will insist on it with appropriate regulations or the tower is going to fall #LetThePeopleIn

#UBI won’t end suffering or allow the average person capital, though it would allow a little more ease by affording food, shelter, a chance at societal normalcy.

I don’t know, I put all my savings in when the market tanked and tripled my money in day trading. Now I have capital ... your argument doesn’t hold water.

What would you call broke people who moved here in order to make a life for themselves, and did? What about the massive amount of illegal immigration we have and the amount of money they send back to their families in Mexico? This is dishonest logic.

That's what my Dad used to say. "You can't be a capitalist if you don't have capital."

Seems when you add profit as an incentive,human frailty of greed automatically kicks in and product diminishes- Education, Prisons, Healthcare, etc. Some things should not be for-profit.
