And in order to maximize your profit, you have to find ways to not pay so much for the production of your goods. This is what many other companies do. The billionaires of the world bezos has his workers p****** in bottles, not just in their delivery vehicles, but also at the warehouse facilities where they work. Why? Because there are impossible incentives that they have to keep up with in order to get paid, in order to get bonuses of that pay

I'm trying to remember, Dewuan. Oh, man. I'm trying to remember. It was something I watched. It was a it was a program on one of the streaming services. But the person it wasn't a famous person who's in the limelight, but it was a person who has a considerable financial portfolio, and it was a couple

And we see these artists that have masked a lot of wealth by doing what they love. Right? But with JayZ, what I find very fascinating is when you said people saying he's changed. He hasn't changed. He's been a burgeoning capitalist from the beginning, and there's nothing well, there's something problematic with it. We'll say that because the thing with Jay is that he can sometimes ride trends that suit his needs, but that he doesn't actually stand for
These investors, they care less about their employees. Their job is not to worry about who's working for the company. Their job is to worry about the executives taking their investments and turning their investments into larger profits. That is how it works. And it is a game that cannot be defeated. Hey, maybe I shouldn't give up hope, right? We just need to have a little bit more faith. But what a cool post. Like always, peace out

And with this comes it's going to hurt others to benefit the greater good of the company? At times, yes. The investors only care about a return on their investments, and they have teams of staff to support their decisions with metrics and statistics. And some of them have built an intuition to know when to make that decision that will hurt others for the greater good. Now, I guess we can flip this question on its head in terms good black capitalist
Hey, what's up, fry oil. Happy Friday. Thank you for your feedback to my reply. I do want to ask you a question. So status is very important when it comes to capitalism. And I do wonder, if we somehow get rid of capitalism, what would be as replacement? Because humans need status, right? There's always somebody that would try to take advantage of the system just because we just love that status. There's a need to have the rich and poor

Omega Strange. Thank you, as always, for not only taking the time to listen to the replies, but to also offer replies of your own. What a great question you pose to the audience. Status, in the absence of capitalism, will it still surface somehow? For man's need to be the best or the only one will invariably cause a rift within any system. This is very true, but capitalism, I'd wager, is a lot of the roots of status itself
