OK but how is that specifically being used to promote a system where wealth is kept exploitative? I cant say i specifically looked out what specifically those donations lobbied for, if anything.

Shirley Temple's first on screen kiss was when she was 3 years old in a comedy short where she played a prostitute.. yes a 3 year old prostitute....

@louis Perhaps, though that would probably be hard to quantify.

@louis Quite a few billionaires, most notably gates, invests in movements meant to address wealth exploitation.

@louis if you have a problem with wealth being exploitative you should be fixing the market so it isnt exploitative as then its an issue at every wealth level anyway. So the issue still is unrelated to magnitude of wealth.

@louis A free market would not allow inheritance as a free market relies on supply and demand, if your qualification is who your parents are there isnt demand for you, its artificial value.

@louis If there is nepotism then you dont have a free market now do you?

@louis You are always worth exactly what you make as long as the market is truely free. If you werent worth it you wouldnt make it.

@louis

Disagree, no amount of wealth is exploitative on its own. If you have a world that allows people to manipulate people via money you have an inherent problem and again it has nothing to do with how much money people have. Address corruption in politics so money cant buy politicians instead.

@louis those are just fancy words for saying some people have alot and over time they have more.. it doesnt suggest a problem. Again someone having more doesnt mean you have less.

@louis

And this is a problem why? Yes he has a lot of money, people having a lot of money isnt a problem, other peoples fortune is not your misfortune.

Friends, I need your help. I know that Instagram isn't the most popular platform on here, but I recently discovered that I need 10,000 Instagram followers before Meta will start paying me to post all the silly stuff I post on Threads. I am currently 4,183 followers away from that goal. Yikes.

So to be blunt, if you have an Instagram account and are willing to follow me on there, it would mean the world to me. Here is a link that I hope you will find to be most clickable:

Because most educated people who read white papers have non-paywalled access.

Thank you. It was the threat on my family that was the hardest.

@stux

Sounds traumatic, sorry you felt in danger, but I'm glad you took steps to responsibly protect yourself and your loved ones.

The Bell riots in real life started on 7 October 2023 in the Gaza Sanctuary District, and the reaction is to turn the district into uninhabitable Hell on Earth.
