30. Until we address the capitalism problem, none of this goes away.
Tue Dec 16, 2025, 10:02 PM
Tuesday

The old monopoly comparison still holds. Capitalism is the root of every single problem this country and the world faces. It’s why we can’t have anything good, it’s why we have so-called “winners and losers”, it’s why there will always be people in poverty, homeless, undereducated and jobless.

Capitalism is the problem. Until we figure this out, this shit only gets worse and never ends.
