Nice meritocracy you have going there, capitalism.
Yup. Totally not a fucked up system where good honest work can leave one person penniless and sick while at the same time some other dumb shit who bought a bunch of meme coins on a whim becomes a millionaire.
As a business owner, I have to say that you're missing the point. Owning things is work. And owning more things is even harder work.
Since we bourgeoisie own things all the time, we're basically working 24/7/365.
Investments are really just the purest form of business ownership. You cut out all the messy stuff like products, customers, and employees, and get right to the heart of the matter--making money. Money, of course, has intrinsic value as it is created by God as a reward for our work. So investing is great because it allows you to turn your hard work of owning things directly into God-given money. The more you own, the harder you work, the more you make.
Evangelicals unironically believe this, and the most famous pastors in America have made billions off of preaching this exact message.
If they have made billions, they must truly be hard workers! A tip of my cartoony capitalist top hat to them!
