“printing more money” however, this has the potential to cause rapid inflation.
That only happens if you put all that money into circulation - if you were to, say, just give it away as a handout to the military or Israel… no inflation. Which is… exactly how they give handouts to the military and Israel.
To think… they could just as easily spend that thumb-suck money on healthcare - but that won’t murder brown people, so they don’t do it.
You see all of the electric cars on the road now?
You mean those things that aren’t public transport? Those things?
Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path
to lower carbon emissions (eventually)still profiteering from privatized transport while pretending it was fixing anything.
FTFY.
Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad.
Capitalism is literally just a set of excuses and pretexts to justify gross economic parasitism - old-style concepts such as “greed” doesn’t even hold a candle to that.
Not really sure why you’re singling out capitalism.
And who did Bill Cosby make money for, again? Who protected Bill Cosby and allowed him all that power?
I think kinda everyone did.
No he didn’t. Capitalists don’t fool leftists - but nobody ever listens to them, right?
The guy was literally helping the environment
No he wasn’t. Capitalists don’t cure the disasters they create - they just find different ways of profiting off it.
the creator just went nuts.
No, he didn’t - he just showed his true nature. That is all.
Oh look… Apartheid-boy is moving his company to a more overtly white supremacist location and blaming his daughter for it.
I am so surprised.
Gee… a capitalist world fawning over capitalists?
Who woulda thunk it?
Just capitalism playing along with genocide - no different than they did seven decades ago.
Hold on while I dig out the world’s smallest violin for them.

Maoist rocket says, “Fuck your imperialist and capitalist clamps” and commits revolutionary suicide.
I thought God communicated through burning bushes - everything’s getting enshittified, it seems.
EVOLUTION TAKES GOOD IMAGINATION…
And I suppose religion doesn’t?
Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are… they don’t call Gates “No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry” for nothing.
tech has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit,
We don’t call tech bros tech bros because they’re technical. We call them tech bros because they are pieces of shit.
TV Tropes has the best description of them.
A Tech Bro is someone connected with the technology and business industry; cultivating an image of intelligence mixed with money, counterculture attitude and social savvy. Whether they are actually hip, business literate, anti-authority or even intelligent in any form depends on the individual. Their goal is to charm investors into funding their project, so some degree of false presentation is necessary. Typically they are young men in their twenties and early thirties, insisting on casual clothing, shaggy hair and Perma-Stubble. Some of them are keen on partying and getting up to wacky hijinx, and are easily distracted during business meetings. Their speech is a blend of Technobabble and corporate buzzwords designed to attract investors, self-promoting at every opportunity. They see themselves as leaders, even visionaries, and they want you to know it.
And Apartheid tech bro up there is their god.
edit: I have to mention that I have no idea where anyone gets the idea that tech bros are in any way “countercultural” or “anti-authoritarian” - I’ve never seen a tech bro that’s anti-capitalist, which means they are as drenched in the politics of bootlicking as the rest. I guess the only difference is that they perceive themselves to be deserving of having their boots licked - despite the fact that they will happily lick the boots of Musk, Gates and the rest themselves.
Apartheid tech bro saying exactly what an Apartheid tech bro would say.
This is why I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who calls any human society, past or present, “primitive.”
That’s the beauty of “trickle-down” economics - it doesn’t. Give it to the military and the parts of it that doesn’t get hoarded by MIC billionaires gets spent on things such as R&D and asset/infrastructure development and maintenance - there’s not a lot of that money “trickling” down and circulating amongst the general population.
If you were to spend it on health infrastructure and development, the money will still not be “trickling” down - but the benefits will. A bunch of F-35s means next-to-zero benefits for people - but a functional hospital does.
