    I too love to make a word salad out of the Big Words and pretend I'm making some kind of salient observation.

    Like what in the fuck is this chump even talking about. The rich are richer than they've ever been. By extension: They're better at doing their job now than they used to be. Maybe, just fucking maybe, some kind of systemic critique is necessary to go beyond this kind of hamstrung analysis. Perhaps the people at the top are just as replaceable as the ones at the bottom and it is the system itself which has allowed stagnation.

    Very weird that the economy worked so much better when there was something not entirely unlike social democracy. Well I guess the problem is that execs are worse.

    If only there were a system in which those with power weren’t incentivized to put short term profit above human flourishing

    Yud claims to be an autodidact, pity he never taught himself any Marxist theory

      The sentence is fine except the word "being" should be "be". It's just very long-winded.
