Alternative title: a bum glamorizes his parasitic lifestyle.
Money is one of many solutions designed to allocate resources on a large scale. Of course, there are others, but he doesn't propose any alternative system. He's just a parasite. A pre-industrial society most likely wouldn't be able to support his existence so easily and he would either starve to death or start working.
- manmal 5y agoI agree to some extent, but what’s the purpose of using such dehumanizing language?
- mikem170 5y ago> He's just a parasite. He's less of a parasite than many rich people! I'm thinking of those who are nothing better than rentiers and/or running cartels, commandeering common resources for their own profits, accumulating money for themselves at the expense of society, who glamorize materialism and moralize hard work because that's what keeps the money rolling in from the plebes, and having the support of the government to keep them on top. They seem to be have done, and are doing, way more harm to our society than this guy.
