Alas, they are not. 😮💨
Excellent excerpts - what book is this?

Tell me more about this piece. What does BLM stand for in this case. What’s the reasoning of the style / symbology used here?
So then why would McDonalds ever have to raise their hourly pay to $17/hour. They are one of the largest corporations in the world.
I’m not trying to argue, I’m genuinely interested in hearing an alternative model of how the world works.
How do you believe wages are set?
Why would McDonalds ever raise wages?
What do you propose in place of capitalism and would that work?
How are wages set then?
How would you explain all the fast food chains having to dramatically raise their wages (at least in nominal terms)?
A company that is operating in even a quasi-free market cannot say “you have no skills, the wage for this job is peanuts” in a vacuum. They set a wage and if there are enough people who are voluntarily willing to sign up to do the work, those people are signaling that the wage rate is worth their time. If not enough people who can do the job at sufficient quality appear, the wage rate must increase unit the gap is closed.
I am interested in your alternative to how wages are set.
Oh, I never disagreed about “unskilled labor” I tried to make that clear in my first comment, perhaps I failed in that. As I said “unskilled labor” is a term used to denigrate essential work that society chooses to look down on.
That said, that wages are often low in these work areas is a function of labor competition rather than capitalists or capitalism seeking an excuse to pay poverty wages.
That such low wages exists and insomuch as the workers can join and leave voluntarily (ie they are not slaves, waged or otherwise) suggests that there are people who can achieve more than subsistence on such pay. This is simply the nature of labor competition.
So perhaps we are in argumentative agreement here overall 😂
The corruption of money degrading ability to prioritize domestic focus - that is a political problem, capitalism didn’t do this, as the individual capitalism would want to hold the best money (money that is not corrupt) possible and self interest would drive that better money in all hands. This is part of the reason we are both bitcoiners, I would believe.
Essential Worker / Stay at home mandates - again that was the government, not the economic system. Market capitalism would have favored people making their own choices and assessing their own risk - i.e. TX / FL / Sweden - and in the end these places fared no worse than anywhere else - meaning that the government restrictions were pointless, at best.
In any case, if capitalism is the problem, what solution do you propose and what does it look like?
The politicization of EVERY issue is insane. Like it IS possible for the people you disagree with politically to be right on certain things. This issue polarization seems to exist simple to ensure that stupidity and untruths are central tent poles any viable political campaign’s platform…
I like RFK, I think his association with Trump degrades him honestly. But he is an enemy of the medi/agrichemical industrial complex (which exists only because of fiat bloat) so he will be branded as a pariah either way
Self custody violates their business model. They have a vested incentive not to understand it. Or rather to understand it intrinsically as a threat and set about demonizing it as such…
Let the ducks roast.
Having this man involved with the national political administration would TOTALLY be a net positive for America, he’s so AGAINST THE DEEP STATE™️ 
I hear you and empathize with what you are saying but I maintain it sounds like a conflation of capitalism and authoritarian government.
The corruption of money, the destruction of saving and purchasing power makes it nearly impossible to pursue domestic responsibilities (as the price or “wage” for this is internal and can only be defined by the family unit and with respect to their specific resource). Therefore everyone is pushed into superfluous bullshit in a workforce that is, due to its money, designed to steal the human soul.
What you are point out is not wrong, but I feel that you’re speaking to political problems whereas capitalism is an economic rather than political.
I think trade and mutual exchange are the bedrock of capitalism. I think capitalism gets confused with government. In many ways I see capitalism and government as forces work in opposition to each other. Society’s choice, then, is how we balance between them.
Betting markets contracting toward national polling how that the narrative psyop has reached the point of diminishing returns?
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS!?

Realtalk, this is deeply unsettling
Well in the present America system, massive subsidies to large industrial farm operations have made small farming unprofitable. This is certainly a distortion - but I would argue that this is socialist/corporatist or otherwise fundamentally non-free market distortion (even as the government that perpetrates it and the large farmer operations who receive the funds all think of themselves as “capitalist”).
So essentially these large farmers, buoyed by theft and redistribution are freed from true competitive market forces and begin to operate as quasi monopolies and territory controlled enclosures. This dramatically lowers the bargaining power of agricultural workers, I’d argue suppressing the wage ceiling more than impacting the wage floor.
However even under these conditions, if there is someone willing to work for less, it is because they have means / tactics / are willing to make sacrifices to do more with less either immediately or over the long term. Even if there was a more healthy and dynamic spread of small, medium, and large farmer operations for agricultural workers to choose from, this would not eliminate that they may still be someone willing to do the same work at sufficient quality for less.
The death of the living wage is the result of money printing, central planning, an redistribution from the bottom up - call it socialism if you’re right leaning, call it corporatism if you’re left leaning - but not the result of “capitalist scheming”
