Remind me again why capitalism is so great?
I never not feel tired and it really feels like I'm struggling to keep my head above water despite hustling all day, every day. Whereas some rich guy like Bezos or Musk reaps all the benefits.
Also, don't do the CFA lol.

In any other system there would not be a Bezos or Musk.
only great dictator, friends and family
Bezos worked he ass off too. Whats great is that you will bust your ass for a year or so like this and then you will reap the rewards and move up.
I did it and so do many others. A lot better than just being poor for life with no way to change it.
Quit bitchin.
>why capitalism is so great
>Whats great is that you will bust your ass for a year or so like this and then you will reap the rewards and move up.
Oh great, that means a slightly bigger TV and a shoddy one bedroom instead of the house share I have now.
I work in finance (and they're paying for my CFA) but it's times like these where I think maybe socialism wouldn't be so bad.
Holy shit paid trolls will actually post garbage like this and gullible people on here will actually buy this.
>he still thinks money is going to make him happy
lol
>thinking you need to be smart to succeed
Oy vey, keep taking out those loans, goyim.
>Hard work is always rewarded
LMAO
>Investing on a TV
>socialism wouldn't be so bad
Imagine my shock
>Remind me again why capitalism is so great?
Because people like Bezos can do what you or 99.9% of rest of population for that matter can't and you reap the benefits anyways.
>money's only purpose is to make more money
Who could be behind this post?
Why would he be paid?
>Remind me again why capitalism is so great?
Because you can do this to better your life or you can be a socialist and do this to make someone else's life better
He doesn't want you to know that you could be living the NEET life: youtu.be
I don't have any loans.
My parents paid for my entire education, including my extortionate £33,000 a year private boarding school. I wouldn't have minded going to a grammar but they insisted.
>Implying money can only be used to make more money or buy TVs
Bet your last name is Rodriguez
That's not for me either.
Is it so much to ask to have a 9-5 doing what you love? Maybe I could be a professional philosophy reader or painter lol.
>Bezos worked he ass off
Bezos was born rich, and came up with a "company" that was essentially a tax shelter for his Wall Street earnings. Amazon lost money every year for more than a decade allowing Bezos to sponge up tons of money in tax benefits and suck the tit of the American Taxpayer while driving REAL businesses that employed thousands of Americans into bankruptcy and ruining our economy.
Can I have yours?
>Whereas some rich guy like Bezos or Musk reaps all the benefits.
If you really want to make money like Bezos, you have to invest the money in Amazon/Tesla stocks.
Working just gets you the money to invest in Amazon.
Isn’t he an orphan?
it cheaper to buy shit at the local store
>Invest in Tesla stocks
Ancap IQ
this system isn't going to last much longer.
Their shares are trading astronomically high and I don't have the £££ to spare.
(((Organizations))) will pay large sums of money to try and keep the illusion that everything is fine, when it isn't, alive and well.
Everyone I know is working increasingly longer hours for static pay. I refuse to believe it was always like this. I'm sure in the 70's they didn't work this long or hard.
Quit then retard. Oh wait not working is hell
I don't own Tesla shares but OP mentioned Elon Musk.
That being said If Tesla goes down to 270 I might consider adding some to my portfolio.
>bongs
there's no hope
You're absolutely right. Everyone is being squeezed dry in every sense of the word.
>Isn't [Jeff Bezos] an orphan?
No. You're thinking of Steve Jobs.
Jeff Bezos' mom was a roastie slut who divorced his bio-dad and married a Cuban affirmative action hire engineer for Exxon. His parents invested millions into Amazon.

When will l*nklets learn?
Stop eating big macs and learn to negotiate your hours you stupid fucking imbecile. Why are you in night school? Fucking kill yourself.
Is it so much to ask for a 9-5 doing something you love? I like feeling productive, but not overstretched, inundated and consequently anxious 24/7. Work/study thoughts and worries have been making up most of my thoughts for the past year or so. I've barely seen my friends despite them living 2 miles away and my hairs thinning.
We need money to buy houses, many of us struggle to make enough and everyone just says work harder.
Happiness is not the goal anymore, hell the money will never be enough.
In a landscape of subversive communists and parasitic pseudo capitalists living on the government teat while helping establish a permanent impoverished underclass only total collapse is seen as a viable improvement.
>Remind me again why capitalism is so great?
This nigger ain't doing all that shit. He is paying people to do that shit. This dude don't work, he sits in an office and looks pretty. kys
Part of the deal with the company is that I do the CFA, which means, you guessed it, night school.
Funny enough the generation previous to mine in here worked themselves to death in dead end jobs.
But the one previous to that never worked a day as they were nomadic.
>this system isn't going to last much longer.
America is currently floundering in Late Stage Capitalism. This system is going to crash and burn, soon, and only the strong will survive the coming storm.
>only great dictator, friends and family
What’s the difference? At best they seem identical
>the level of ignorance
yeah continue telling yourself that
>Whereas some rich guy like Bezos or Musk reaps all the benefits.
Just open your own Amazon you socialist cocksucker. under our former regime you would be given mandatory job and you'd end up in prison if you didn't like it.
Don't bother. The faggots here will swear up and down that wagecucking for minimum wage and then finally getting that raise to $10 an hour for the rest of your life is normal.
High taxes, monetary policy, mass immigration in all in the domain of government.
They may use capitalism, but they use it as a tool/weapon.
And when they do they fuck everything up.
Its not like you can prove that the most capitalistic countries are the ones with better living standards and smaller divides between rich and poor.... Oh wait you can.
But hey, if you think its 'capitalism' being the problem, there are a few nations that have attempted to get away from it, Venezuela comes to mind, most of the others I think of have already failed.
>Its not like you can prove that the most capitalistic countries are the ones with better living standards and smaller divides between rich and poor.... Oh wait you can.
Lol wtf are you talking about- look at Norway, or Denmark or literally all of Northern Europe. Then compare it to the levels of economic disparity between the wealthy and the poor in the US. What fantasy world are you living in?
What I really can't grasp is the reason why all these billionaires can't just retire and enjoy their billions laughing at us.
Considering their age it should be the right thing to do instead of keep fucking things and their health (see: Marchionne) up.
>Norway, or Denmark or literally all of Northern Europe
Yes - all of them are small, ultra-capitalist countries with nearly complete population homogenity and most free maket economies in the world - you know, things that socialist swines hate the most.
>Live in a socialist country
>Complain about capitalism
I think the CIA and govt bankrolled him too, thanks to all that juicy data he's collecting. They definitely are now.
>it's easy to be a billionaire if you have a couple of millions dollars
Where do I invest?
Also
>a company can lose money as long as a decade but it will magically turn around lel
how about you invest in moviepass you commie faggot. It will surely turn around.
>>it's easy to be a billionaire if you have a couple of millions dollars
I didn't say it was easy, just that when you make connections through getting a Princeton education and spending years as an investor on Wall Street and start with a few million to play with in seed money it's possible.
It's NOT possible for an average middle class person to do what Bezos did.
>Remind me again why capitalism is so great?
Because the alternative is Venezuela.
>some rich guy like Bezos or Musk reaps all the benefits
Not really.
The Cargills, the Johnsons, the Pritzkers, the Hearts, the Dorrances, the Duponts, the Hunts - these are the people who reap all the benefits.
Look at the Duponts - EI Dupont became a military contractor, and died in 1834. His heirs live on, parasitically expropriating the surplus labor time of those of us who work. Like crazy John du Pont, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Poorfags today can buy an S&P 500 index fund and get 10% returns every year just sitting on their ass doing nothing all while having materiel comforts that would make a medieval king jealous, basically they need to check their privilege
In fact the #1 issue facing the modern westerner is they are so comfortable they have simply lost the will to live
I've seen your posts before and I hope you're doing well.
I don't think it's logial to desire work "you love", as all forms of work involve some form of routine, which is itself tiresome. I recommen a novel (not that you have time to read it) called The Pale King. It talks a lot about how electing to take part in a highly-developed, highly-organized society which, while not perfect, at least offers its citizens the prospect of attaining a good life (as compared to our distant ancestors) necessarily involves a great degree of self-sacrifice. In a modern context, such self-sacrifice rarely involves fighting in an army, or discovering new frontiers, or keeping the literal wolves at bay, but instead involves seemingly endless periods of boredom and utter tedium, tolerated for what often feels like no reward. The book advocates changing ones perception to view boredom as something to be embraced and ultimately transcended, rather than fended off with a frenzied pursuit of novelty and distraction. While this can be interpreted as a process of submission (i.e. unburdening yourself of personal ambition, or of making any effort to improve your lot), it is also I believe a realistic account of modern life, and one I have had to confront myself.
>Because people like Bezos can do what you or 99.9% of rest of population for that matter can't

Kill yourself before my ethnostate gases you
what makes you think another system would improve your position?
No, the alternative is Norway
>Because the alternative is Venezuela.
>Oy Vey it's either This Jewish alternative or us
>The absolute gullibility of Goys
You're on my purge list nigel
so you are saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE for an average middle class person to be a billionaire because they didnt start out as a millionaire with connections.
so what stop an average middle class person from having connections and becoming a millionaire?
Because they didn't start out as a lower middle class person?
Nobody forces you to buy from amazon you know... could it be that you do it because Bezos's services are so... awesome?
>In any other system there would not be a Bezos or Musk.
Norway and Venezuela are an interesting combined case study, in part because both are oil rich. But Venezuela, as I understand it, used much of this oil wealth to improve health, literacy and so on, while Norway deposited much of it in a sovereign wealth fund which has grown over time via investments.
>S&P 500 index fund
>10% returns every year
Index funds lose money just as often as they make it.
There is a third alternative you know.
what makes you think you're life would be any different under communism?
Wrong
B-but the only other option is being in a gulag because you raised taxes on the upper classes and didn't listen to Stefan Molyneux so you turned into Venezuela!!!
Despite what Austrian School quacks claim, most Nordic countries are social democracies. They have high union membership, high personal income taxes with low corporate taxes, and a robust public welfare service.
>Venezuela, as I understand it, used much of this oil wealth to improve health, literacy and so on
Which Norway also did. Listen, if you want to call what they’re doing socialism- cool. If you want to call what they’re doing capitalism, I’m fine with that too. I just think we need to be doing what they’re doing because their quality of life is miles better than what we have going on here. And part of that definitely does stem from high taxes, a welfare state, and state owned businesses
>Memezuela
Like clockwork. Every time.
Are you actually saying that your average middle class person can practically become a millionaire?
you are saying that an average millionaire can practically become a billionaire?
Only qualms against the 3rd option is the degeneracy spiral. There are 4th and 5th options that are more harmful for society but don't involve some fat fuck deciding my vices are more degenerate than his.
Can't wait for the free shit to come.
On August 30, 1929, the DJIA closed at 380.33.
It was underwater for the next quarter century.
On November 23, 1954 it reached 380.33 and closed at 382.74.
Factoring in inflation, you still lost in 1954.
The DJIA went sideways between 2000 and 2006 and then 2007 to 2013. The only growth from 2000 to 2013 was from October 2006 to July 2007.

It sure is a hell of a lot more practical to become more powerful and influential if you already are somewhat powerful and influential.
Irrelevant, once you include dollar cost averaging in and dividends you still make money, and this is just the US stock market, while the US stock market was flat emerging markets were soaring, with diversification you make even more money
That sounds great, where do I sign up?
I hope you don't believe this
Money doesn't make someone happy, true, but it definitely makes life less stressful and worrisome.
>Bitching that your ebil capitalist boss is paying for your CFA
Get fucked pussy, you don't know how good you have it. If you don't like it leave the city and grow your own food so you don't need a meal ticket
lel let me do the math for you.
You are saying that it's more feasible to go from 5 million dollar to 1 billion dollars, which btw, equal 1,000 million dollars than 100k (middle class) to 1 million.
Where do I invest???
Stop being a fucking spastic. Some user posts if you work hard you will reap the rewards is not fucking shill material you lazy cunt. It's a fact in western society, if you have motivation and intelligence there is no reason you cannot succeed in the west. None
>you are saying that an average millionaire can practically become a billionaire?
How many millionaires have the motivation to bust their asses off when they already enjoy the comfort of a millionaire lifestyle
>capitalism is the only way because other really bad ideas also exist
brain worms
Norway is capitalist. They have a welfare system because not many of their people need it being healthy and intelligent and all
>not many of their people need it
You clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
kill yourself
You have nothing to prove if you are tall and have big dick
>It's Jeff Bezos' fault that I'm a loser
There's literally nothing wrong with capitalism, why the fuck do people keep making these threads? There's a shit ton of things you can do right now.
-You can buy bonds
-Buy shares of stock
-buy shit and resell on ebay
-invest in crypto
-sell your car (pays off in the long run, believe me)
-invest in someone's small business
-loan someone some money
Stop being an entitled fucking faggot and get your ass to WORK.
Jeff worked 20 times harder than you and had a different way of thinking than the place you put your self, in your monotonous boring shitty life you faggot.
>GIBS ME DATS FO FREE
fuck off communist
If you want to call them capitalist idgaf, but they have one of the highest rates of state owned businesses in the developed world and they’re doing really well, so I’m not sure how you could effectively make that argument. The people literally own the means of production. But if you want to call them capitalist, knock yourself out. Either way what they’re doing is working for their people way the fuck better than what we’re doing so we should do that
