My layoff story

[TBF]

6. the billionaires that basically own everything in this country

do not care at all about any of us. they don't understand that the majority of us were not born with trust funds, we have to work very hard to just put away a little savings while paying for everything else along the way. we don't have parents writing rent checks etc. out initially so we can "get started".

and I don't even buy that "laissez faire" capitalism is the problem. the problem is capitalism, period. it is a system in which there needs to be a bottom to exploit, in order for there to be just a few to reign at the top. that's an inherently unfair system. the next question is "well which is better" - coming from folks who are paid by billionaires to prop up the status quo. my answer is "let's try something new". the super wealthy in this country don't want anything new - they like things exactly as they are.
