At the end of the day, as an engineer, you will always be as replaceable as any factory worker. If the market wants cheaper worker, they will just layoff a bunch and hire again with lower salaries.

There is life outside your job, you only live once.

Just want to point out private ownership of property, in the common sense, is also existent on socialism/communism. That is very different from private ownership of the means of production.

BOMB: In Capitalism the government is an tool controlled by billionaires to protect their interest.

The contradiction I see is that the free market you mention needs a some organism that ensures violating other rights is punished. And this goes further, as far as anyone has resources to buy this same organism they will not suffer any consequences. That's what happen now in most governments. The state is just a way to protect billionaire's interests.

"On real free marked this would never happen!". It would be funny if was not so sad.

> Borg also said South Asian laborers working on NEOM were “fucking morons” so “that is why white people are at the top of the pecking order.” He also said Gulf women were “tranvestites.”

"Why do you hate billionaires so much?"

When I stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks without being able to move, nurses where doing everything for me. I remember how much I cried over that when I left the hospital, how much grateful I was. They all just looked like angels to me.

> Not sure how we can have a "peaceful and happy mind" while everyone outside of our little bubble suffers. This line of thinking is, to me, an example of why we'll never fix any of this.

I agree with you that this individualistic line of thinking will never fix the systemic issues we find here. But I challenge you on your conclusion, "That's why we'll never fix any of this". There should be another "line of thinking" that will fix stuff. What is it? Maybe something not individualistic, aren't people able to cooperate?

> Folks, remember we're all in the same boat!

By "we" in this sentence I understand you mean ones reading this, or interacting here. Just want to point out that, there are people out of this boat. Their interests are protected by the State and they never, never had to do a 8h work shift.

Hi, I'm curious about your alternative model for capitalism. How does it aim to change the logic of capital accumulation? Since companies are driven by profit, the entire system revolves around capital growth and competition, which ultimately leads to the emergence of monopolies and billionaires. How does your model address these issues?

While we have a socio-economic that values market and profit over social benefits we will keep this going just because it's cheaper. (and also because there is some big people gaining lots of money with it)

> No one wants to work at the DMV, no one dreamed that in their child hood. But we need people to do it... he's speaking out against them going home and sucking down film, tv, tiktok rather than DOING things that enrich their minds and bodies.

That same DMV work + household chores + family would not give time and energy enough for someone to participate actively in whatever kind of activity by the end of the day. I agree mostly that doing things is better than just consuming, but unfortunately the bigger part of the population just aren't able to do it.

Good by civilization

Last years inflation was 10% in my country. I only got 3% raise because having higher raise would "increase inflation". I'm still able to afford my lifestyle but I don't have the same from 4 years ago.

GDP is a monetary measure, it measures market value. So most of regular infrastructure does not add anything to GDP, public schools for example. Positive GDP is an important measure on Capitalist system but it does not reflect fully in the life of most poor people.

> Depending on the lifestyle (or parts thereof) in question, this may not be a bad thing. Certain lifestyle (aspects) may be imprudent,

I guess he was talking about people that cant afford a 70000 truck at first place. Some people on rich countries like Brasil, 11th GDP in 2022, were just not able to afford food.

> ‘I Just Wasn’t in the Mood to Work.’ American Employees Reinvent the Sick Day

The title mocks on people personal problems. This is the kind of meritocratic speech we hear from millionaires and CEOs, "People worked harder back in the day".

> That confidence has only grown as record low unemployment persists.

They aren't even trying to hide anymore. High unemployment is necessary for capitalism, is what makes workers accept poor job conditions.

I was enjoying the idea until I got to the rules. This gatekeeping is too much for my taste. There are so many good metal sub-genres, who are they to draw a line?

OMG, ONE MORE CAPITALISM CONTRADICTION!

Try doing that in Malmö.

Unfortunately, It's not so precisely written. For example, she uses theory when she should be using hypothesis.

There are a number of cooperatives that are very successful. Not in a capitalist way but providing the workers a honest and good life with much more freedom them usual companies. There is a good example in Brazil https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344119511_Flasko_A_...
