This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Agreed. Cost of living and wealth inequality are getting so bad it's breaking society. We see it everywhere and it's weird to prioritize non economic explanations.

Although hetero dating is just total bs, speaking as a queer gal. All that old cruft is rotten and it's gotta go

Yet again Capitalism is the issue

Is there any problem that wouldn't be fixed with wealth redistribution?

The inequitable amount of influence the 1% gets from owning the means of production. Given time this will erode whatever wealth distribution scheme you have in place.

See the minimum wage for an example.

Nah if the total wealth of everyone is forced to be equal then their power is equal.

Assets are wealth.

The CEO or board wouldn't own anything more of the workplace than their janitors do.
