"A small investment" and the ability to take on risk sounds like a significantly privileged position the average worker is not afforded.

"A small investment" and the ability to take on risk sounds like a significantly privileged position the average worker is not afforded.
- emteycz 6y agoEvery single worker with a wage is more privileged than me - I had zero, no job, no house, and debt. Them not being able to take risks is just bullshit, they're simply afraid or don't even want to - and that is alright, people like me will happily employ them - unless employing or being in the state becomes too risky.
- jamiltron 6y agoAnd I'm glad you're privileged enough to be here posting today, boasting of the wealth your workers generate for you :-)
- sdfin 6y agoHow do you define "privilege"? Isn't it another way of saying "wealth"?
- jamiltron 6y agoprivilege, noun a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.
- sdfin 6y agoUsing that definition, why would you say that emteycz has special rights or advantages or immunity?
- Pfhreak 6y agoSome advantages, I'm making assumptions here: A car? Access to the internet? Their mental and physical health? No dependents? It's unclear how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves while they had debt and no home, but plausibly there's some assistance there. And the parent poster was talking about their privilege today in any case.
- emteycz 6y ago> a car $200 one > access to the internet McDonalds and KFC > Their mental and physical health Both nope > how emteycz fed, cleaned, and clothed themselves Black market jobs, and sometimes not much to eat. I had clothes from before. Zero assistance, that's how it is in our little social democratic republic.
