This is good context, but the paraphrase is actually better today because "capitalist" has changed meaning over time. In the original quote it meant something like "someone who doesn't have to labor for a wage, making money from investments instead" whereas today it more commonly means "someone who supports a relatively free market". So the original quote would cause confusion today.

@greg16676935420 It never existed to begin with. Trading at such high P/E ratios as we have today mean that most of it is speculative. This is why it is dumb to rank net worth until profits are realized.

@masoncapitalllc @clipclaude Some people want to use their capital for things other than increasing their own wealth. At some point, most people have enough.

It's not about making the number bigget then, but about accomplishing things. Helping others. Etc.

@gavinmchughh The commentators said that in between full time and the first 15 minutes Haaland was getting a lot of medical treatment. He clearly had some sort of injury

"world's first AI tool that-" oh shut up shut up shut up.

The controversial take is that we should prefer a system that minimizes a crazy wealth divide, even if we don't get as rich as quickly.

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

This is probably a controversial statement to make, but I think a minimal wealth disparity is more important to societal stability than absolute wealth.

If the system makes us all richer, but simultaneously increases the wealth divide, it makes society less stable.

Here is a graph showing how many individual stock trades each President has made going back to 1990.

The corruption is off the charts!

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

Insane unthinkable levels of corrupt profiteering coming from the oval office.

@MyFriendAlex @heysamir_ not accurate comparison. Robinhood gold is not 5% apy

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

@MemoriesOfGreen @SawyerMerritt I'm guessing 6% will last 6 months to a year tops.

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

@KrisWysong @DKeesy @jonbrooks don't forget the right y-axis too

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

Okay, the 6% APY definitely interests me.

@Team0Percent is there a video of Yoshi's PR on TTH anywhere?

Next (B) looked even MORE like the Mississippi pointing to the north star, but now with a reflection on the water to make it clear it's actually water.

[Brant Axt @brantaxt]

(B) has all the symbolism and simplicity that (A) has, but with many benefits.

First, (A) will look like crap on a blue sky. Seriously, this should have been obvious given a 10 minute discussion but Luis wouldn't give them 10 minutes to further discuss.
