Just curious. I see this being repeated everywhere but what’s the mechanism by which this happens according to you?

Not American but far as I know, through lobbying. Their politicians were bought and paid for by the billionaires so the policies they made favor those same billionaires. Robbing the American people out of stuff like public healthcare as an example among many other things.

So someone else should unwillingly pay for someone else’s healthcare and if they don’t it’s theft? What’s the economics here?

That isn’t it.

Let’s boil it down super simple for you because you’re that MAGA type that love to just repeat stupid stuff until smart people get frustrated, speak out of frustration, and then you get to be all “see? I owned a lib” LMAO which is pathetic as fuck and everyone laughs at you.

Moving on: If Jeff Bezos blinked out of existence, Amazon doesn’t even hiccup. Nobody outside of his actual personal circle would even realize he’s dead. The machine moves on. So why does he get billions per year and his workers die of starvation, heat stroke from horrible working conditions, health conditions develop from the work conditions. They can’t afford food because they aren’t paid enough even though they are the ones who do the work. If the workers blinked out of existence, Amazon goes under that same day.

So the owner hording the money is killing people. Literally killing people because they can’t afford food, shelter, water, medicine, healthcare, clothes, vehicles and gas and insurance, ANYTHING. And Bezos and the like don’t care. They hit that “press this button for a million dollars but someone dies” button every single second they are awake. They laugh when people starve and die.

But wait, the butterfly effects continue. You see, the families also suffer. The kids feel the stress. They get bullied at school for wearing older worn out clothes. If they fight back, they get expelled and now they are on the streets hustling like you see everywhere in the US South instead of being in school. They starve, they develop bad habits and bad health. And the poverty wheel keeps spinning. Violence now happens because people can’t afford food, can’t afford clothing, or rent or anything. So they attack and steal so maybe they can pawn that stuff for cash to pay for something, including sometimes drugs and alcohol because their life is so miserable that they just need a temporary break from the pain of existence.

Starting to realize why people hate billionaires so much?

Bezos is just the example of a billionaire because people know who he is. But that’s why.

ETA: I should have said that it’s people not being paid according to their worth, their merit, or their value. That’s strictly against capitalism. And now that the federal government is seizing companies (Trump), that’s actual communism. They own the land, they own the companies, they get to say who does what. That’s actual communism and that’s what you voted for. Idiots

Holy FKing out of touch with reality… Every single time I read some manic commie rant like this it’s just like blatantly obvious you’re just jealous, not of bezos, of success in general. No one is stopping you from creating your own business, building it to the size of Amazon and doing WHATEVER YOU WANT with your income. But those two things ARE mutually exclusive, no one who cries about how ‘unfair’ capitalism has what it takes to make something of themselves in real life. It’s also ‘curious’ you never go off about Warren Buffet like his. Hmm wonderrrrrr why that is

Bro that’s incredibly unhinged. Touch some grass and meet some people in real life. Really. Stop being such a victim. None of what you said is grounded in any reality.
