  1. #ConsumerWelfare, #RevealedPreferences, #regulatorycapture & #meritocracy are just some of the ways that #capitalism's alleged defenders cooked up to insist that they love the competitive discipline imposed by markets while being totally dependent on self-described #capitalists who have utterly escaped from that discipline and have committed to doing everything in their power to prevent themselves from ever coming under any form of constraint.

    Today, these [ #billionaires ] clutch their pearls at the "demonization" of the ultra-rich, calling it "billionaire derangement syndrome." But the only "billionaire derangement syndrome" that matters is the syndrome that affects billionaires and convinces them that they are above any discipline or rules.”

  3. The era that all us "naive & idealistic #TreeHuggers" said would arrive if we didn't embrace sustainability is now upon us.

    Turns out that the naive idealists are actually the #Capitalists who preach the dogma of infinite #Growth.

    Time for a reality check, #WallStreet.

    As far as I can tell, anything with #capitalists at the helm doesn't understand consent. And capitalism and sexual assault share a lot in common.

    'Keep asking until they say yes.'
    Or
    'Do it anyways, and apologise if caught...and keep doing it'
    Or
    'Ignore criticism and keep doing it cause they cant stop you'

    i'm sidestepping pro- / anti- capitalist arguments

    i'm saying #capitalism is dead

    there is the fantasy foundational belief of " #freeMarkets"

    they have always been manipulated

    (especially with #regulations removed, which #capitalists always seem excited to do, resulting in the biggest players controlling it)

    #plutocracy replaced capitalism

    idiots didn't notice

    they merely adopted a lie:

    "this is capitalism!"

    behavior: not capitalism, just licking plutocrat boots

    it's rigged

    #capitalists have been screaming " #COMMUNISM! #SOCIALISM! WHARGARBBBL..." as a fearmongered threat since forever. communism died in 1989

    the truth is #capitalism *is* being killed

    by #plutocracy

    and because they don't care, don't notice, or are paid enough to not care, "capitalist" idiots have turned into plutocrat and #oligarch bootlickers without awareness or concern

    it's a complete farce

    and it's going to meet a reckoning

    truth vs delusion is playing out

    Watch more Star Trek folks.

  14. "Students boo the commencement speaker who called #Ai 'the next industrial revolution'"

    She is 100% right.
    What the #hoipolloi don't get is that #Ai *IS* the next industrial revolution.

    Just like in the past, the working class got destroyed by the #capitalists destroying their labour with machines...
    ... So now capitalists are destroying "the elites", the intellectuals with Ai

    So much for class #solidarity

    But on the other hand the last industrial revolution brought us #socialism and #communism, so there is hope.

    "David Einhorn wants ladies in ‘sexy party clothes’ at his hedge fund party

    Billionaire David Einhorn is throwing a party in New York this weekend to celebrate Greenlight Capital’s 30th anniversary.

    If you squint, the invitation looks banal. Predictable theme ('Vegas Nightclub'), less predictable location ('Brooklyn'). But then comes the fine print. The dress code, just for 'the ladies', is more exacting: 'sexy party clothes'.

    Yes, that’s right, Einhorn is openly telling women they better look hot or else to celebrate his hedge fund. You might think this is the invite for some frat party, instead of a multibillion-dollar money manager. You’d be wrong.

    Meanwhile men get a free pass.

    (. . .)

    We had a hunch the #MeToo era that smacked Wall Street in the face nearly a decade ago had already been subsumed by cobwebs, forgotten to the winds of pre-Maga times. Maybe you remember this lovely quote that went viral from main FT last year, not long after Trump took office:

    "Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at 'woke doctrine' and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.

    'I feel liberated, said a top banker. 'We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.'”

    Sadly, there are many #capitalists who would LOVE to provide housing but are prevented from doing so. If you look at things like rent control in NYC, the government has literally stepped in and made it more expensive to provide housing than to leave it vacant. I've lived in places where contractors said the cost of permitting was more than the cost of materials for some construction projects.

    Want more housing? The free market wants to provide it.

  19. [Read thread above first]

    While I understand the motivation behind this -- the world actually has become more dangerous -- I think it is an extremely dangerous idea which will lead to catastrophic arms races and thus to war.

    #Capitalists have been able to profiteer from war for a long time. The threat of war makes it easy to extract revenue from taxpayers. By securitising defence budgets, this proposal will incentivise arms companies to foment international conflict.

  22. #Capitalists: Keep grinding! Never stop going hard! There's no limit to how much profits you can reap! Never sleep.

    #Degrowth people like me: Stop grinding yourself to death. Stop going hard. Start slowing down & relishing a more simple life. Invest in extra naps.

  24. I recently binge-watched the latest season of A&E's "HOARDERS" on Netflix. Sadly, I've known six hoarders as close friends during my lifetime, and perhaps more.

  29. @urlyman I disagree. The teenager is not driving while inebriated with evil intentions, they are simply insufficiently aware of the potential consequences.

    #Capitalists, by contrast, are perfectly aware of the consequences, they just expect them to be borne by other people.
