Sure. That's why people only want to come in europe and usa to make tourism, visit our countries and spend their money. Our governments are so stupid to close their borders and block wealthy people.

Our definition of what poverty is may differ, and i would easily admit that i used a relativist one (I am far from being rich, and even considered as poor in my country; still, i know most people on earth are poorer than me), and that i myself made zero effort to explicit it.
But you being prone to accuse others to spread lies while backing your stupid charge with nothing concrete, is a sign of deep intellectual dishonesty.

*US gets rich off capitalism*
*other country stays where they're at or collapse due to communism*

Capitalism makes people poor!

Shut the fuck up.

That doesn't address the point at all. Willing to pay isn't the same as paid. If he hasn't liquidated, he hasn't taken anything. And if he does start liquidating, the money won't be coming from you. It'd be coming from people voluntarily buying his stock. The idea that he's somehow taking from you is complete nonsense. If you have a Pokemon card, that is now valued at $100 instead of $1, you didn't somehow make someone lose $99 just from holding onto your card.

Look, if you guys want to make a case against Amazon's working conditions, I'm all for it. That's a different issue. That's based on actual facts. But this obsession over his net worth which is tied to his stocks is complete nonsense.

More resources going to him means less going elsewhere?

I mean, this is some pretty simple shit.

It's already been explained. It's based on a valuation. The money haven't actually went to him yet. If anything, if he sells like you guys want, that's when resources start going to him. And guess what? The resources aren't from you or that one guy talking about his homeless friends. It's from other people willingly buying the stock.

This notion that he's taking from you, or that there's some pie he's taking a larger portion of is complete nonsense.

The economy grows due to growing business, giving more people opportunities.

You guys have a 5 year old's view of resources. "Waah mommy Jeffy got a bigger slice than me" That shit ain't how it works, and it's not the "simple shit" you think it is.

Depends on what you want out of games. There's a unique sense of control I have with side controllers that I feel is never replicated with 3D games. Like you can constantly narrowly dodge enemies or make a jump in a 2D game without too much effort. It's very intuitive. It's a lot harder to do that in 3D games without having a crazy amount of practice. That's why so many 3D games have auto platforming, and dodging is based on iframes instead of manually moving your character out of the way.

3D games make up for that in terms of exploration and world creation though.

How that would make capitalisms fail?
By nature, capitalism needs a majority of the population under poverty standards...

The majority of the population isn't under poverty, and what's considered poverty is continuously raised because standard of living goes up. Stop spreading lies.

There has to be something in the brain that causes certain folks to defend the rich and the fucked system and be happy little worker drones. It has to be some carry over from the more primitive aspects of the brain to defend such animal like hierarchies. They defend them like royalty. They think they're literally a better class or species of people.

It's more correcting misinformation than defending billionaires. I'm indifferent to billionaires.

This is a stupid question.

There is quite literally, a finite amount of wealth in the world. When the super rich hoard massive amounts on cash instead of spending it (or say, paying taxes) it makes everyone else poorer. As they continue to accumulated wealth and buy up land and property the opportunities for others shrink.

The amount of wealth in the world keeps growing, and Bezos wealth is based on a valuation of something he owns. It's like if someone offers you a million dollars to buy your house. You don't actually have a million dollars in cash from that, but you'll be counted as a millionaire.

Then let's say you keep getting better offers on your house. The price keeps going up. Are you hoarding wealth? Are you sucking resources from the world because you are getting better offers?

You put the goal post in the wrong place.

The best starting point was March 2020, but it's getting harder to use that as we're getting further away from it.

It's funny you bring that up. These anti-rich folk love using March 2020 as the starting point in their analysis because it's right after the market crash so people recovering their losses can be seen as "making money during the pandemic." The truth of the matter is these type of articles are every bit as disingenuous as Fox News.
