Alfred really said “DO YOU EVEN LIFT MR WAYNE”
It’s hit me all of a sudden. I love you. And when you wake up, I’m gonna take you in my arms and I’m gonna kiss you.

Too many of you believe that the evils of capitalism begin and end with whether or not workers get paid enough. But capitalism is inherently wasteful by design. It is resource intensive and exploitative by design. Even if we killed every billionaire and redistributed all their wealth tomorrow (a good thing) we would still have to restructure how we manage society from the ground up, globally.
And no, you as an individual are not responsible for figuring out all of the answers, sad white person. There are people all over the world already working on the solutions their communities need. We just have to empower them to make those solutions happen.
If the U.S. minimum wage became $25 tomorrow and everyone got universal healthcare, capitalism would still be bad because it would still be a system that prioritizes exponential and limitless economic growth over everything else.
