We could debate, but when things go out of control, they go out of control fast. Talking about this example specifically, this is Bangladesh. It’s been less than a year when the country stood up against the government, the PM had to flee to save her life and despite the military initially try and squash the protests, gave up very quickly. At the end of the day, they are normal people with families too.
What are a few factory owners going to do against thousands of workers who are completely fed up? They are losing their jobs any way, what is stopping them from burning the factory down? This is a country where violence is not unheard of.
- nazgulsenpai 2y agoThat's a fair point. I was thinking in my own context and not that of the Bangladeshi worker.
- darth_avocado 2y agoIn your own context, if everyone is paid less, worked more and then eventually out of a job, there will be no one left to buy stuff from Billionaires. A concept Henry Ford understood really well, but Wall Street doesn’t.
- pixl97 2y ago>but Wall Street doesn’t. Why do they need to, they'll just have the government print more money and give it directly to said billionaires.
- antifa 2y agoMakes you wonder if some kind of underground market would form that ignores billionaires, whether that's a commune or local government establishing a new local currency, that would cause the primary currencies (USD, BTC, etc. to further inflate itself out of existence).
