#capitalism is hell

Radical ideas, but:

Pay people appropriately and enough to live comfortably

Health insurance shouldn't be tied to your job, universal healthcare

Tax the rich

Billionaires shouldn't exist

TRICKLE DOWN DOESN’T WORK; THE ULTRA WEALTHY JUST HOARD IT AND CRUSH EVERYONE ELSE

Getting really tired of capitalism; it doesn't work and is literally destroying the world

Just another story to add to the chorus of voices shouting about the Healthcare industry.

Many years ago, my father had a heart attack at work. He was rushed via ambulance to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. He did not have insurance as he was still under his probationary period with his current employer.

I proceeded to get a bill for all of the expenses involved. It cost over $15,000. Fifteen grand to pick my dad up and drop him at the hospital and say he's dead. And they billed me and called me and sent threatening letters. I was panicking.

And then a financial advisor says to ignore it. I was in disbelief. "How am I going to ignore it? It's going to ruin my credit score, I'll never be able to rent an apartment, I'll be in debt forever."

"You're not legally obligated to pay it." That's right. Medical debt, along with pretty much all debt, is not inherited. These fucking vultures were trying to convince me I was obligated to pay this obscene bill. They were harassing a 23-year-old who had just lost his father to collect debt they had no legal right to.

Fuck these people. I hope every Healthcare CEO, every shareholder, every rich fuck who fills their wallets with the deaths of the poor gets shot in the fucking face. It's a mercy compared to what they deserve.

Capitalism is the problem

Me: I think I'll leave my headphones home today. Instead of listening to my audio books, I'll use the silence to plot a few chapters of my fic / figure out where I want to go with it next

Me, 5 hours into standing in a silent room writing down numbers with only Thoughts: So actually this was a horrific idea. Someone sedate me.

Hello company under late stage capitalism. In front of you is a candidate for hire. You have 45 minutes to figure out if they are a good fit for the part time position you are hiring for without asking them to complete the SAT, take a personality test, or ask invasive questions. If you fail, The Creature will be released. Good luck.

⬇️This But For Every City on Earth. ⬇️

[ID: a quote tweet by Euan Yours @/Euan Yours, that reads, "Everyone who works within this circle but can't afford to buy a house there should not go to work for a single day and see how well that goes for the people who can. The quoted tweet is a tweet by Kev 🇬🇧 🏡 @/kevinf567, that reads, "Ok, I'll raise you. There should be no social housing in this area. This is the most expensive real estate in the country. It should be for peopl..." and then it trails off but if you open the tweet it says some classist shit. Then there's an image of a map of London that has been circled in the most expensive region of the city. /end ID]

No for real this but for every city on earth.

I have far more in common with the Boomer who lives in Section 8 housing and uses food stamps than I do with Mark Zuckerberg.

I hate capitalism but I disagree with the statement "Capitalism is flawed."

A robot that is programmed to kill is not flawed if it does exactly what it was made to do.

Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)

Corporations don't care

Government always lies

Rat Race will destroy you

Getting a job is a waste of time

Billionaires are the death of us

The school system is rigged and outdated

Democrats and Republicans are wolves in sheep's clothing

We are nothing more than expendable slaves to the rich and powerful

There is no middle class

War is a waste of time and life

But in the end, is there any hope of changing any of this at all for a better future than this worthless excuse of nations on earth or is it too late.

We can change this world without the endless lies and false promises.

"Collateral damage" is a term invented by people who inflict unknown amounts of damage to others and don't want to take responsibility

Capitalism is like Jenga
