if one more person tells me “capitalism is making people starve” i’m going to lose it
the poorest people in America are literally gigantic. like medically unexplainable balloon-shaped and built like refrigerators. we’re not dealing with famine—we’re dealing with doorways having to be widened
have you seen what capitalism gives broke people in this country???
you can wake up at 2pm, take your government-subsidized Ozempic with a 3,000 calorie $9 “coffee” milkshake from Starbucks, get driven to Target in an air-conditioned car you don’t own, buy 40 pounds of seed oils and corn syrup with an EBT card, tap pay on your iPhone, and then go home and watch Netflix while you suck your vape in a recliner until the next time you’re ready to shovel food into that nasty mouth hole
your shampoo has biotin. your snacks come in resealable zip pouches. your cats eat grain-free. your dog wears a thunder shirt. you’ve got twelve $7 body washes for different moods. your teeth are rotting from Mountain Dew. your fridge dispenses crushed ice. you have a bluetooth air fryer that makes chicken nuggets shaped like Paw Patrol characters. you’re on six medications and still have the nerve to say the system is failing you
you don’t cook. you don’t walk. you don’t build. you don’t fix. and yet your lifestyle—degrading as it is—is still propped up by diesel engines, shipping containers, water treatment plants, and a thousand invisible laborers you’ll never meet
capitalism isn’t making you starve. it’s keeping you alive in spite of yourself
it gave you DoorDash. it gave you weed delivery. it gave you plus-size lingerie and mental health apps that send you push notifications like “you’re doing great sweetie” even though you’re a F***ing emotionally unregulated lunatic. it gave you multiple streaming services to distract you from your own shitty choices. and you’re mad because it didn’t also give you meaning???
capitalism didn’t fail you. it cushioned your fall. it wrapped it in cheese, deep fried it, and let you finance it at 17% APR
but the most ungrateful part is: the system is still carrying your a$$ on a reinforced mobility scooter through the Walmart to buy more of that trash you call food
take away profit and by day four of your revolution you’ll be shitting in a bucket and trading hot cheetos for insulin in a parking lot
SHUT THE F**K UP
Incoming!

Day One I will Need a bucket.
This year was dollywood with the grands.
The amount of morbidly obese people out there was sadly shocking.
Commies starve people.
Obviously written by a second grader.
If capitalism is making people starve, then communism should make people fat, right?
If one really wants to starve people nothing tops socialism/communism!
Printed, fiat, Federal Reserve money, and the massive government debt, spending and woke social-engineering it enables, are a crime against humanity.
I wish I could write like that
capitalism is making people starve”
The millions from 3rd world countries coming here by the million must love the pain of starving?.
Exactly!
Eh?
People never tell me this. I wish they would, I like nuking idiots.
Great rant!
I think I speak for everyone on this planet when I see one of these lifelong demonicRAT voters waddling down the aisle on my flight and think to myself, "please don't sit next to me, please don't sit next to me. Please don't fahhhhhhhhh...:
“”The amount of morbidly obese people out there was sadly shocking. “””
It is unbelievable. Not only that but they love to flaunt it. There should be a weight limit on so many of these clothes.
This hurt my feelings. I'm going to do more weed/alcohol and go to therapy to get over this. And have more Cheetos (comfort food) though I get orange claws and it is hard to deny you ate them with orange finger tips and pie hole.
With our system, a person can work hard and earn a lot of money. There is no limit. Our system gave us Bezos, Gates, Musk, Jobs, Wozniak, Ellison, etc etc. They became rich. They used their money to buy things, and that created jobs for other people. Their prosperity led to other people sharing in the prosperity.
Under communism, what’s the use of working hard? Doctors got paid more, but not a lot more, than street sweepers. Why study hard? The government guarantees you a job. So why bother inventing things and founding companies? The government owns the results of your labor, not you!
