Why is capitalism so bad at rewarding hard work?
>>
capitalism rewards shareholders
and demand

>>535107093
Leftists are very good at identifying problems. Capitalism does in fact have a ton of problems, the system falsely advertising itself as being merit based being one of many problems with Capitalism.
However, leftists are absolutely dogshit at solving such issues. Most of the time, they don’t have a solution and just whine about things, like here. Other times, their solution to a problem say inequality is to let violent niggers loose after killing someone and doing nothing because “his people got treated unfairly a long time ago :(“.
And other times, the solution is pretty obvious, but it’s conflict with their world view. You could establish 3rd party only hiring that handles everything about employement, and have each job require a test. This would help the economy be more merit based since it removes “connect” bullshit and interview bullshit, and pay is handled by a third party. However leftists would hate such a system because the niggers are naturally going to get the lowest paying jobs with their lower test scores.

One hint: Federal Reserve

debt-based central banks are going to become a thing of the past
currency issued in the form of debt, as we have today, is doomed to fail (as it is now)
once a currency is used as an investment, it is no longer useful as a currency
the treasury market globally will become meaningless
nations will begin to use their own debt-free sovereign currencies issued by their treasuries
the Fed will eventually be dissolved
the US Treasury will issue debt-free US Notes again

Currency backed by labor (productivity and services) makes a nation strong
Currency backed by debt makes a nation slaves

Capitalism essentially just rewards people for giving what the public wants, which is why entertainers are so highly paid as well as the people who can distribute those things to the public effectively are the most rewarded. This is why marketing, as useless as it seems, is so valuable and makes so much money in a capitalistic society and why people who are able market things and have the ability to distribute those things make so much money. We could say Bezos is an engineer, as he has a bachelors in engineering, but he's not paid for his engineering, he's paid for starting a gigantic distribution company that can sell and gets things to people cheaper than the competitors. This goes back to Edward Bernays in where his idea was to essentially push propaganda (engineering of consent) against the public during peace time with Freudian psychology to make people feel like they need certain products, or that their life isn't complete without them. Then we branch off into modern capitalism where people buy useless junk all the time, it's not so much that they need it, but that they feel that their life is missing that, and that's what effective marketing does.

It's not that it's a bad system, it's probably the best alternative available right now, but it has a lot of problems that have been amplified over the decades.

Daily reminder:
The State Capitalist/Communist Regime of the Federal Reserve Uniparty

There is Free Market Capitalism, which we do NOT practice. This is when you have competition & the rewarding of success.
We practice State Capitalism (low-grade communism) in which the central bank rewards their buddies whether or not they are successful. They also launder their worthless Federal Reserve Notes into real assets while doing so, which are then held by their private corporation. This is State Capitalism.

Again, NOT to be confused with free market capitalism, which is probably only truly practiced somewhere in the Andes.

The Federal Reserve is a group of 12 private, incorporated, regional franchises (they can each be sued) & is the driving force behind the corporate takeover of our government.

State Capitalism (aka low grade communism directed by the central bank):
>the state has considerable control over the allocation of credit & investment
>planning to protect & advance the interests of big business against the interests of consumers.
>government controls the economy & essentially acts like a single huge corporation
>publicly listed corporations in which the state has controlling shares

That wasn't capitalism, that was during covid when the government got involved and forced businesses to close down unless they were deemed essential, it then continued to print more money and push it into the market artificially inflating stock values. An authoritarian market run by the government is not going to be the solution.

Success in capitalism is based on what value you provide others. A labourer provides little value. Most artists and writers and creaters create nothing of value. Most scientists never accomplish anything of worth. Engineers and neurosurgeons are paid huge amounts of money if they are skilled. Leftists seethe because most of them are inadequate individuals with nothing of value to offer.

I think this is a lot of survivorship bias as we moslty only see or talk about the top 0.01% of people who go into acting, music, sports etc. But there are millions of people who go into those areas and make nothing, whereas doctors ir engineers, even if they aren't very good are still making a good amount of money, they get a baseline reward for just going into those fields, with entertainment it's a lot riskier and we see the people at the top. Just like onlyfans where maybe 1%, but you hear nonstop about it. Capitalism rewards risk, but it still rewards intellect faorly well too.

^^^ A thread about the NYFed and its ilk now trying to convince the boomers to switch from private Federal Reserve-issued, debt-based Federal Reserve Notes to privately-issued, debt-backed stablecoin tokens. This is going to be priceless to watch. Neither of these currency options benefit the citizens, they only benefit the private issuer. Will boomers sell out once again to the banks to save themselves from a failing system that they created? One last fuck you to the country as they insulate themselves in their private tokens?
And in the next orchestrated crisis, are the boomers’ new asset tokens to become worthless, as the payment platform is the ultimate claimant to any reserve assets in a crisis or bankruptcy?

When is the currency going to be restored to the people? Don't US taxpayers have a right to a debt-free currency issued by their own treasury?

Pic related was just passed.

This is just entitled boomer classists driving the fucking country into the ground for money (mostly from the now-bankrupt NYFed's QE policies) and now destroying the US taxpayer's currency (the fucking US$, which is A FUCKING UNIT) on the world stage with the Fed’s issued-into-oblivion, worthless Federal Reserve Note.

The people that this economy rewards the most are self-promoters who can scam and manipulate people. Mark Cuban, Mr. Beast, I hate to say it but Donald Trump as well. It's these lying, shifty, scam artist types who can mealy mouth bullshit until you reach for your wallet.

You'll notice the people getting the richest are the ones closest to the point-of-sale.
-- The grad student who generates the idea, gets paid nothing and lives under a bridge.
-- The engineer who operationalize it, gets a standard $50k/year.
-- The innovator who forms the company with stars in his eyes, gets a couple million.
-- But the CEO who turns it into a consumer product, and starts to sell, sell, sell, gets billions.

The closer you are to the point of sale, to the money changing hands, the wealthier you tend to be. And that's literally the exact opposite of how it should be. The idea is the hard part, that's the spark, the magic.

Engineers work in a team and are taking research from other people and building on it. They are paid to do engineering work which they would not be doing on their own time without getting paid

>But the CEO who turns it into a consumer product, and starts to sell, sell, sell, gets billions.
CEO and the innovater are the same people usually and how much they make depends on how successful the product is. Not all CEOs are owners and don't get billions. CEOs are hired based on agreements between shareholders.

Anon I'm telling you. The guys working in groundbreaking technologies are paid absolutely nothing compared to the guys selling sweaters and ballcaps and shit. Consumer products are what sells and is rewarded. It's your ability to manage supply chains, deliver cheap consumer goods, that gets you the billion. Not your ability to think outside the box, generate new ideas that might actually push the species forward.

This economy is set up as a consumer economy, a giant shopping mall. If we spent even a tiny fraction of the amount we're spending on consumer goods, to spend on researching core-technologies, we could be leapfrogging into the space age.

A reminder, Federal Reserve Notes are what are being issued to worthless oblivion and
>the US dollar is a fucking UNIT

We need to AGAIN issue debt-free, Treasury-issued US Notes like we did before (and during) the bloodsucking, obsolete Federal Reserve. We need to AGAIN issue debt-free US Notes that are pegged to a basket of commonly-used weighted commodities, distributed by a series of state banks.

We can:
1 nationalize Fed banks
OR
2 dissolve Fed and have a series of state banks
OR
3 issue US Notes simultaneously AGAIN and eventually recycle worthless Federal Reserve Notes out of circulation
OR
4 YOU CAN RIGHT NOW: use cash/barter/stack/use credit unions/use cold wallets, these five things IMMEDIATELY transfer power directly to the people

USE CASH, NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY YOU ARE IN, cash IMMEDIATELY puts the power in the hands of the people.

US Treasury-issued paper fiat (aka cash, aka US Notes):
>is permissionless
>is private
>is anonymous
>has no transaction fees
>works in power outages
>doesn’t need the internet
>don't need to be a coder to use it
>doesn't depend on another party having a device
>everyone knows exactly how much they have
>has no transaction limits or thresholds for reporting
>money laundering is harder with physical cash, due to transport
>is inclusive, it does not see race
>is harder to use in ransoms
>can’t be hacked
>don’t need to remember a password to use it
>IS the ultimate in payment platforms
>using cash helps people to save money and budget
>puts the power directly in the hands of the people
>keeps the currency near the REAL goods and services
>less paperwork
>is face to face, not face to screen
>makes government theft harder
>using cash forces the debt-based Federal Reserve to serve the citizens

Boycott businesses that do not take cash.

Barter is the real torpedo to these fucking clowns.

No that's the way this economy is set up. We're consuming the scarce resources of the earth in an orgy of consumption. The upshot of this, is to secure the wealth of a particular class of obese old men who feel very important about themselves, and ride around in speedboats on the weekend. The society gets fattened up like cattle, social order is maintained, but ultimately those core, big questions confronting humanity are never challenged. How to build carbon nanotubes, how to survive in space or underwater, how to advance our civilization to the next level.

Honestly we could do with less consumption. Too much consumption harms people, turns them into fat cows. If we instead consumed what we needed, and worked less, we would have more intellectual output. That would be greater value in the long run.

People don't know what they want. They don't have independent agency. It's the leaders of society that tell people what they should want, what they should value. We need to instill values into them.
This postiion has been hijacked by a group of business people who are telling people "what you should care about is consumer slop". So that's what people care about. This is a natural position in the tribal order, they hijacked, and they are using to degrade society.

>>535112243
>People need clothing more than they need a niche piece of technology that can help us land on Mars
They need it more RIGHT NOW, but long term, they don't understand what they're missing. Burning through the scarce resources of the earth to produce cheap consumer goods, and blow up the population to 10 billion, in the end we waste it all and never get to the next level.

One of the things that really bothers me is the time that people are being asked to work. 50 years ago, everyone predicted the average work-week in 2020 would be like, 15 hours/week. Not only did that not happen, but instead people are working longer than ever just to make rent.

My point is, that let's say you make someone work 20% longer. You get 20% more production out of them. But if you ease off them, they might have the time to think of abstract ideas or projects, and improve the efficiency of their workplace. Maybe by 100-fold, or 500-fold. So that 20% you took as a loss, ended up being a net social positive.
But a consumer-focused business doesn't care about that. They want the most profit for themselves, they won't eat a 20% loss like that. Even if it has longer term social benefits.

Like let's say everyone in the US got their working hours cut in half. Our production falls by half.
People consume less, that's tough. But in exchange they get an extra half of their day as free-time. They could spend it with their family, or their friends. They could start working on their own projects, tinker around. We'd get more artwork, more software projects, collaborative games and media. Maybe even more inventions.
I mean the internet has unlocked some of this, look at the explosion of art and creativity and output. That would be intensified drastically.

But the cost of that, would be that if people have more time in their day, these fat scum who rule us won't have the constant drip of consumerism lulling them to sleep. We might have a revolution, which is what the fear most.

>Why is capitalism so bad at rewarding hard work?
ANSWER: Because most people fundamentally do not understand what "capitalism" even is. Capitalism is not a place on some economic scale...it is a direction of movement towards the INDIVICUAL rather than the group (socialism).

Anarchy (pure freedom) <~~> Communism (totalitarianism)

"Capitalism" = the desire to move towards more individualism.

"Socialism" = the desire to move towards the group.

>Capitalism is not a destination...it is a direction of movement. And no one is ever stationary on the economic scale..not even a Commie, nor Anarchist. We are always facing one way or the other at any given moment regarding government policy.

It's a combination of supply, and demand. Service workers make very little since it's a job tons of people are willing, and able to do. Laborer's make a little more because tons of people are able to do it, but a little less people are willing. Neurosurgeons make a lot because very few people are able to do it, and it's in high demand. Money however is in extremely high demand, but very few people are able to properly identify good investments, and very few people are willing to take on the risk.

It's the same reason why underwater welders make more than regular welders, it's a much more dangerous job that is far more unpleasant, and inconvenient, and it's demand is intermittent so very few people are trained to do it, so when they are called for these sorts of jobs they are paid very well.

Hard work has no value, you could work infinitely hard digging the same hole, and filling it in, but you created no value. Hard work actually has a negative value,. If you told someone "I scrubbed your sidewalk by hand instead of using a pressure washer, I want paid more for my hard work" you'd get slapped in a capitalist country. People will pay for these sorts of labor saving devices because they want to work as little as possible.

The labor theory of value you communists propose has an exact inverse relationship with reality. People want as little as possible, and pay to reduce labor. The steam engine is not a negative value device because it reduces the amount of labor needed for a job, it's immensely valuable.

‘Nazis', which is a word that specifically refers to Germans in the 1930s practicing THEIR brand of ‘national socialism’.
National Socialism is really JUST an economic strategy in which LABOR BACKS THE CURRENCY.
The term 'Nazis' is now used to impart a fear of ‘national socialism’ (the innocuous economic strategy that backs money with labor), b/c the status quo REALLY are in fear of national socialism. The classists are really in fear of the people realizing it is their LABOR and productivity that backs our currency.

Money is often falsely equated with productivity, intelligence, class, success, integrity, and/or good taste.
If you equate success with money, you will likely be perpetually dissatisfied, in a constant state of longing.

But if you VALUE THINGS WHICH CANNOT BE BOUGHT, such as:
community
family
work ethic
intellect
fitness
perseverance
cleanliness
honesty
integrity
compassion
tradition
loyalty
reliability
patience
humor
If you value the above, you will always be content and successful, no matter where you are or what you do.
Judge yourself by deed, not possession.
