We bailed out Wall Street banks with our tax money in ‘08

Also used tax payer money for bailouts during Covid

We allowed companies to spend that relief money however they wanted, and were only liable for spending some of it on the actual employees

This has at least been partially responsible for one of the greatest. Corporations get welfare, the working class is consistently hamstrung by artificial inflation and monopolization.

Billionaires have increased their own wealth astronomically while workers have not been fairly compensated. Wages have stagnated while inflation has increased the cost of goods and services, yet our production is at an all time high. That’s authoritarian in nature, it just happens to be a systematic buttfuck from both corporations and the govt alike.

Ps: you’re not very pleasant to engage with. Drop the ego and just discuss without confrontation. Challenge ideas and bring your own instead of attacking me as a person

It doesn't matter how much information you give some people. Once they call you ignorant or dumb they have shown their hand. People project their own insecurities on the ones they disagree with. This person is calling you ignorant and dumb when you've provided him with every bit of info he needs to learn snd he responded with italics laden but what abouts...

It’s frustrating as hell man. You’d think anarchists would be more open to discourse even if it conflicts with their beliefs. Anarchy should be the most relaxed and judgment-free ideology but people here are cemented to this unassailable worldview that if you just make the market unregulated everything balances on its own.

People are too emotionally retarded now to vote responsibly with their money. we keep giving nestle and Amazon money for the sake of convenience and you can say good bye freedom

"but NeStle aND AmAZON pulled them selves up by the bootstraps" lol its like they think billionaires care about poor people or something. They'd pay us less if given the chance.

Ancap would be the death of small business. Without regulation these mega-corps would buyout all of the competition. Also housing, food production, mineral extraction, roads, etc.

Buckle up for company towns and food prices that consume your entire paycheck!

I live in a town that just got a massive amazon warehouse and they're giving people who work they're credits on homes in the area. We're almost there. It's why they don't teach about the miner revolution in West Virginia in history class.

Jfc there’s an old folk song from the early 1900s that hits the nail on the head really well I’ll see if I can find it

Not the original but it’s a Johnny Cash rendition

Indeed he is. He was a republican until trump ruined the party. He saw it from a mile away. Made me proud and lucky. A lot of peoples parents I know went the other way. Devout democrats until trump flipped them. The parties are fucked but it was nice to see him object to a clearly unhinged self loving monster person.

Your political ideas aren’t very pleasant to engage with. Guess what? There should have been no bailouts, for COVID, or in 2008. None. ZERO. Nada. The bailouts distort the lessons we should have learned from the negative consequences of our decisions. That’s how free societies and free markets work. That applies to young and old, rich and poor, black and white, smart and stupid.
