@SophieMcDLaw Well yeah... But capitalism doesn't work that way and it's based on the idea that if you really wanted to do better (meaning make more money) you would because people like Elon Musk exist and are used as examples of what's supposedly possible for everyone. Basically, we're lazy.
@noampomsky It gets tricky to integrate this kind of thinking when you've been raised by people who keep doing bad things and expect you to only judge them of their supposed good intentions while they never take the time to do the same for you.
@HeidiPriebe1 I'd love it if I could just live and stop being taught lessons though. Why does everything need to be "a learning experience"? I don't think non-traumatized people think that way.
