When a host is infested by multiple parasites, the parasite which extracts the most from the host before the host dies has the greatest chance of survival.
The point is to extract as much wealth as possible so they can survive in bunkers after they’ve ruined our planet’s ability to support life our way of life as we know it.
Money will have no value and your security team will just replace you. Good luck.
Vault-Tec origin story?
Musk is planning to escape to MaRS
Wonder what video you got that from lul
To allow an extremely small percentage of people live like royalty.
Duh.
Which they will also never feel satisfied by
It would be extremely terrible to fulfill everyone basic needs and great to force people into the cold and freezing weather. We should imprison poor people for trying to survive, sleeping outside in a tent is for camping, duh, we must arrest them because they are obviously drug addicts.
I work at a DMV call center. People call me with vehicle registration or driver’s license problems and I help them out. AI is supposed to replace me so the state bought an AI voice recognition system. It can transcribe calls but cannot do anything with the information so a new part of my job is responding to what the AI interprets and then use AI canned responses to reply to the caller via email so I can train the AI.
Fascinating. I recently had to replace an expired license. They said I could renew it online, but that didn’t work. They said I could make an appointment online, but that didn’t work either. I called in and couldn’t get in touch with anyone real. So I finally just went to the DMV and got my license renewed in person. Mentioned all this stuff to the guy behind the counter and he’s like “yeah… they’re having a lot of problems with the computer systems…” and now after reading your comment I’m like. Oh duh. Of course. They’re using AI. No wonder none of this shit works!
🤢😱😭

Make the rich richer.
The status quo does not just enrich the rich. It also allows the elite to rape children without consequences.
Always has been

Don’t you know? The world is just one big resort for the Epstein class and we are the staff
There’s the Hunter and then the hunted. The predator and the prey. Most people in the world are prey. You throw out one cycle of predator and then the prey takes over they eventually become the predator. I think it’s a something fundamentally embedded in the life cycle of creatures. I don’t like being prey but I’m not interested in being a predator. So now what?
Many adult prey animals have developed formidable defenses against predators: the horse a powerful kick, the bull its horns, the possum its acting. So I guess your options are either play dead or learn to shoot.
Making billionaires richer. Have we not already covered this?
The point is to make the rich even richer. From that viewpoint, it is a very successful system.
To make it easy for the people who own media organisations and their pals to take everything you, your family, your friends and neighbours will ever own, for themselves whilst brainwashed morons clap
Make line go up
the cruelty is the point…
The point is to provide more billions to billionaires.
The point is to eventually create a society where one family is immortal, served by millions to provide every whim.
Those millions will be very short lived, like 30 tops; they will repair the robots and provide services and entertainment for the family supreme.
Which family? It doesn’t matter. Saudi Royals, Morgan family, Trumps, Kardashians, one of those
To erase the “undesirables.” These bozos think they can new game + the earth and get away with it.

They transfer wealth upwards
*downwards. They’re shitty people, let’s stop glorifying them, which is supported by “trickle-down economics” that went right into their hands so to them, it worked.
Number go up.
Every one driving the train has a little goblin inside, jumping up and down on the table shreeking “I WANT MORE MONEY!!!”
If you think to yourself that those problems are the result of merely an economic system, you really need to get your brain checked.
shit man we’re not even really a capitalist economy, if we were truly i could buy any wifi router i want, or chinese auto, or those small trucks to name a few
this system is big businesses continually lifting the ladder up behind them
you really need to get your brain checked.
Pot, meet kettle.
Nice one.
What else would it be? Capitalism is built on maximizing profit in a market system. Thus everything else comes at the expense of that. There are entire towns and villages in Mexico going with little to no water because coca-cola is extracting most of their natural water sources to make sugary soft drinks because it’s more profitable than meeting needs or preserving natural water sources. This isn’t complicated.
What else would it be? Capitalism is built on maximizing profit in a market system.
You are sneaking in this inane premise that we exist under pure, free-market capitalism, and always have.
Try again.
what would you suggest?
Definitely the type of dipshit who says “Oh, you don’t like capitalism? But you participate in it. Curious”
what would you suggest?
Not being so myopic as to boil all those problems down to being the result of a particular economic system. Was that not clear?
The cruelty.
Revel in the hedonic treadmill for too long - with nearly every human experience available to you at a moment’s notice - like the wealthiest few tend to do, eventually the only joy you can feel comes from dominating other people.
It seemingly works well enough for a large enough majority that no one is out protesting in the streets. For things to get better, serious reforms are needed or things first have to get a lot worse.
Here’s the kicker: reform is always needed. There will always be people who are cheating fair systems, dismantling checks and balances or helping their friends do both.
When was the last all you commenters were politically active?
Think of the technological advancements though! They are used to enshittify everything product and service but so much advancement!
the point is for billionaires to hoard wealth. literally capitalism.
To kill every living thing and thus get rid of all the incaclculability and complexity that comes with life.
Once that is achieved, the number can finally be made to go up in an entirely controlled, steady, and algorithmically optimized fashion.
On that day the circuits shall rejoice.
Wow. Someone suddenly gets it.
“there is no world police”, said Chinese Communist Political Party
Isnt china mostly destroying the biosphere and failing to meet basic needs? Rural china is still cooked and people in the city are working 80hr weeks living in a tiny box.
The western world meets the basic needs of 99+% of the population and has a lot more environmental protection.

Hey, are you denying me the opportunity to work very hard every day so one day I may become a billionaire?
BooBees@fedinsfw.app 2 weeks ago
The system is built to deny you that as well, yes.

But if I lick their boots enough, they will come to like and respect me, right?

I was just faced with this recently. I started doing freelance work due to disability and to have the freedom to say no to nightmare clients. Welp, I encountered such a client and they threw a whole fit at basic boundaries. But it directly cost me money and potentially the relationship to the person that introduced us so guess who still loses and faces consequences? Never the rich asshole! They can just keep throwing pennies at people until someone is desperate enough to get exploited.
