Actually economics are exactly that

Capitalism have built assumptions to its origins that protect capital holder: divine right was often used in the era of its origin

The US Constitution considered landowners above others due to them contemporary belief of divine rights

Our contemporary system is built upon historical record

There’s historical record that plainly shows humans deciding to write a law this way because it favors company X or ideology Y

There’s plain historical record that shows obstructionism to social evolution in favor of entrenched players

And scholars and academics measure THOSE results

So your argument is based upon built in bullshit

Economists have been PAID to peddle bullshit, corrupting their facts

My god I can’t even. Is this really what they teach in college now? Economics and physics are one and the same despite a ... there are decades of government documents detailing their collusion and manipulation of invention and investment for the benefit of power players

But yeah our contemporary economy is a greenfield implementation lol

Employed to what end is a question you seem to not be asking at all

Continue piling onto the stash already very wealthy people have is primarily all this economic activity is accomplishing now as they crater retirements, cut healthcare or inflate prices out of the reach of the majority (which globally ~80% lives on ~2.50/day.)

What’s the point of 40-50+ hrs a week for me now if some whithered old geezer can change a law and flush the effort down the drain

How about meet basic utilitarian needs of food and healthcare, common ones of all humans, in the domain of the government

And what we spend on time on otherwise is up to us. Let’s all punch a clock to make earrings and baubles to support the ephemeral economy? Why does one need to be compelled to make consumer garbage? Oh cause stock prices or we can’t anger a small portion of the population: rich people

They have no divine right to wealth you know?

It’s self eating shitshow of stupid ideas that reinforce stupid ideas.

Steve Jobs is right: none of the rich are any smarter or more capable than your avg college grad. They just got lucky sooner

I want you and everyone else to stop kowtowing to blatant nonsense and “daddy”.

Physics and economics are not one and the same.

Ownership is not divine and should be treated as such.

Paulo Freire and others are better at explaining the reality.

This forum is a wasteland of neoliberal babies who want to build a giant castle to their egos and live in it.

Grow up a bit. Be less ignorant of history and stop fetishizing economic output.

If we have to motivate the species so hard to produce, perhaps economy is inherent to our biology.

But next quarter growth or bust!

Clueless rubes

Rich people losing a fraction of their wealth and who will rebound thanks to business networking effects, and be given a pass because sometimes that’s how it goes

Limited downside seems accurate

Bit naive, yes?

How is a call center employee any different than management who ignored concerns over fatigue on Southwest plains?

But it’s a call center employee that you’re focused on

Not the more obvious “humans are largely garbage to each other if they stand to gain or retain some power over other humans”

People want to be the prison guard, not the prisoner, then prison guard manager

So the indifference doesn’t just stay in the call center.

We already invented this and named it “television.”
