    That's why they don't teach basic economics in school they are setting you up to be employees.

    We do need worker drones like me.

    But people are not given a choice.

    They are just prepared for it and not given options.

    Capitalism exists big companies big profits
    The banks were bailed out by tax payers the governments of the world had central banks release money last down turn now there's to much cash out with value falling with is inflation so banks increase interest rates to claw back some cash and ease inflation and we the workers are the clowns in the circus and that's the nature of money and banks and big business

    Surely if you can't afford to pay people decent wages you should not be in business?
    its only the start of it, we have millions in the UK already that are left with no money due to deliberate fuk ups in the digital banking sector.
    Their own is to have us completely dependent on them and vulnerable which we are

    When it goes all online and digital we will be in such trouble

    Like anything, capitalism has pros and cons.

    It's the system we've got, I have no idea where it came from or how it developed, I'm no historian.

    Are there alternatives? Sure there are, but I can't think of one alternative where every member of society gets exactly the same share of the wealth. No matter what system you look at, you'll find that some get to have their pockets filled more than others.

    Actually now I think of it, there may be one system where everyone has exactly the same wealth. That would be a system where there is no wealth.....money is abolished and so it the notion of counting it. In this system, chaos and anarchy is the order of the day. It's every person for themself, survival of the fittest, fighting and murdering each other for whatever food and other goods are available. Think wild jungles where there are tigers and deer.....only one will survive a contact. I'm not 100% certain but I for one think that a flawed system of capitalism is preferable to that.
