    Okay, and the OP’s source for Elon’s success coming solely from daddy’s money and nothing else is what?

    Musk has publicly laid out that anybody can get rich writing software without much startup capital - which not only makes sense but by all accounts seems to be exactly what he did.

    I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.

    Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!












  • So I agree with piracy, however one thing to keep in mind is that our economy and productivity are only in existence because of the land and equipment (as well as the labor) that it takes to produce them.

    If 100% of income went to the workers, there’s nothing to pay for equipment and land that is also necessary for production. Ugly as capitalism is, the end result is a productive economy. A lot of the wealth is captured in land and equipment.

    Now, you can argue that the workers should own the land and means of production. That I could agree with. But you simply can’t produce anything without paying for land and equipment plus labor.
