millionaires are regular now? government should inhibit innovation?

what you’re advocating for is an oligarchy in the form that aristole wrote. while I agree with you in its merits it is not possible due to the sheer amount of lazy people who cannot think beyond the linear

I think it is possible, i think the political will power to make it happen will never exist because lobbying will see to it that no one with these views ever makes it far, bernie should have been president and we could have seen a glimpse of what is possible.

I may have a few explanations :

stockholm syndrom
junkfood blocking oxygen to the brain. making beggars idolizing people who "succeeded in life"



thats some crazy politic but still not as crazy as france though. I heard they're all getting the jab now, despite the cases/deaths being so low.
It would be really a bad timing and a bad luck for australia if the cases would suddently rise after vaccination, right ?

ROFL talk about flip flopping. Why don't you provide tangible examples where the so called big companies are exploiting society and which don't provide a benefit to the people. (Federal Reserve doesn't count)
Like i said you don't know what strawman is so stop using it as a dodge.

Also assuming that I will never be a billionaire is a reach. When did I proclaim that I want to be one in the first place? Secondly assuming my wealth or making statements about my state of affairs is just a desperate attempt to cop out.

What part do you not understand?
Do you understand that hatred and jealousy are two entirely different concepts and that one can exist without the other?
You are making up things i never said and attacking those things instead of what i actually said, TEXTBOOK strawman, maybe its you who doesn't understand what a strawman is despite using them constantly?

Ok lets stop playing semantics of trivial feeling that you might or might not have. And why don't you provide us with example of these so called "exploitations of society" that these big companies do. Also be kind enough to show how they don't provide any "tangible" benefits as you put it.

For instance Is the Big petrol company that you claimed to have worked for one of those?

The entire business model of a place like walmart is to put other businesses out of business so they can monopolise an area, they then pay the bare minimum legally allowed, small town people have no choice outside of working for the one superstore in the area or leaving town.
End result instead of a dozen small businesses flourishing and hundreds of people benefitting, one family has multiple billionaires.
The lack of tangible benefits are clear, they move in and replace other businesses that were already hiring so they are not increasing net employment, wages go down so they are not bringing up the wealth of the area and most people are generally better off before this process.
Home ownership used to be the end goal, now its stable full time work that pays enough to afford rent.
You have bought into neo liberal bullshit about job creation when the fact is if there was enough demand for the corporation to run there was already enough jobs in the area and the demand was created by the workers, they created their own jobs.
People without corporations have always been fine, corporations without people are nothing.
I spent 7 years at the top of a corporation running in a solid monopoly, we did not benefit anyone but shareholders.

anything else?

We evolved as a species because we overcame natural selection and if we went back to it people like you would be the first to go. I have already debated and debunked all of your points in the past and see no need to revisit them, everything achieved by corporations would have happened without them and likely sooner without bullshit patents and copyright to prop them up and hold back competition.

Well unless you can deadlift a +400 pounds and have experience of hand to hand combat, I am pretty sure I would snap your neck.
Natural selection is still present and will be here long after. Idiots like you try to support people which should never been allowed to exist in the first place.
