Truly, If capitalism rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists.
If it rewarded talent, it would be artists. writers, and creators.
If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
This is your friendly reminder that data centres don’t actually need water. They need a cooling system and are using water because it’s the cheapest way to do it.
Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.
Elon Musk donated $277 million to elect Trump.
Trump let him gut the IRS.
Elon’s SpaceX took a $1.9 billion tax break that they believed wouldn’t be allowed if the IRS audited them.
