    It’s funny because they haven’t just “risen” this is a direct result of capitalism siphoning the outputs of society and socializing the costs onto the rest of us, forcing us to pay for our own education and socialization that will make us a future worker. They’re eating the goddamned seed corn.

        “The secret is you to get the money to work for you”

        And “I built everything I own I am the self actualized yeoman ideal”

        Two equally priceless artifacts of their belief system, held in tandem, and they never tell you how both can be true at the same time.

          I mean they obviously think that the “getting” part of “getting money to work for you” is work that they themselves are doing. They’re not rent seeking exploiters, they’re just getting their just reward for building the rent seeking exploitation machine
