The fastest way to help the poor is to let billionaires make money. //
People thrive when the economy thrives because the economy and the people are one and the same. That graph you see of the market’s ups and downs isn’t just a series of numbers, it’s our collective heartbeat. When people say they want to get the economy back on track, they mean the well being and health of the people. The economy is our vehicle to not only comfort and wealth but health as well. When our economy thrives, our medical system does too. New technologies are developed that improve treatments and life expectancy. In a world where AOC runs the economy, medical systems stagnate at a certain level and healthcare has to be rationed. //
At this time, we have stagnated. Tech isn’t advancing, the things these men produce aren’t being produced, and, as such, our options are shrinking. The first to be affected will be the poor that many people who hate Musk claim they care about.
It’s always been amazing to me that the very people who despise the system they’ve benefited so much from and blame for all the world’s ills is the very system that has lifted the lowest of us into heights people in lesser systems could only ever dream of. Sure, capitalism can create monstrous people and has its negatives. The free market can sometimes be unfair.
However, it’s far fairer than any other system and even the monstrous men it creates can go on to change the world. For all intents and purposes, Steve Jobs was a real piece of crap but, thanks to the capitalist system, this piece of crap changed our lives for the better.
