True, but really that is the basic choice given to us by nature.

There are more equitable societal arrangements, but none will remove the requirement that you contribute in exchange for participation.

Here’s the thing: Many don’t really understand the scope of wealth that some of those people have. You’re right, managers for example do bear a lot of responsibility, and I don’t think it’s totally wrong that some of them, managing huge companies, can earn well into the 6-digit territory annually. But above that, the returns of your wealth diminish pretty quickly. So a millionaire and a billionaire probably have a similar quality of life, yet the billionaire is A THOUSAND TIMES richer than the millionaire. There is no reason that a single human being should have that much wealth.

Agreed that we’re not near a real revolution. But I don’t like the both sides narrative. One side is in a position of power to make change. It’s not an attitude of rich people being lazy or greedy or whatever. I have no issue with rich people in general. I just think it’s absolutely unjustifiable that the wealthiest 1% has more wealth than the bottom 50%, and we have people starving in the land of plenty. And one of those two sides has the power to make that change. And I’m not talking about like, well paid athletes, musicians, lawyers, whatever. I’m explicitly talking about capital owners and the top 1%

Reply to comment by _Banned_User in Your spouse is the only family member that is acceptable to have sex with. by eyeguy21

lot just bangs his daughters

but i wouldnt say that's a black spot for the bible, because lot was just some guy and the immediate follow-up is that from these two unions most of israel's main enemy nations are created

the whole story actually only exists so that the Israelites can mock their enemies and says 'haha you're descended from incest'. And the enemies in question have their own histories, which are also very likely inaccurate

Reply to We're assured that qualifications are essential, but none of the very richest people got their wealth from theirs by pufballcat

They probably did have to go through the motions of being qualified for what they do just everything was right there for em, their parents knew the right people and never had to shop around and make mistakes but hey, survival of the fittest or smartest or….. grimiest? I’m broke because I value doing nothing more than money, it’s a life choice just like suckn dick, if anything you should be mad at your parents for bringing you into a race that they couldn’t prepare you for🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m losing too, buck up champ
