I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[1989]

this is a video about freedom and when does freedom go too far

When you post this crap.

When you post this crap.

its just your poor understanding of everything.

freedom can go too far. for example if im free to drive 120mph and everyone else including yourself want to go 40, then i am putting your life at risk and therefore limiting your freedom.

the chorus on one of kanyes songs on his first album goes:

"drug dealing just to get by..."

the minimum wage is so low that it incentivizes poor people to sell drugs. capitalism increases drug trade.

At what wage is it enough to encourage poor people not to sell drugs?

Of course just getting by means wearing lots of jewelry, driving expensive cars, partying all the time. Desperate people. Insulting to all the poor people who don't sell drugs and work very hard for what they have.

i dunno what do you think?

maybe $15 min wage plus government subsidies

its not hard to imagine, min wage is down 25% from its inflation adjusted high. when was the last time federal min wage was raised.

i think you insult poor people when you say they are living large. prove it.

you know whos living large: the few people at the top who are stinking rich because so many are poor.

Surveys show that 80% of Americans are unhappy at their jobs. And most of us work at jobs that are not crucial to survival. So why do live this way? It's due to social engineering combined with a cancerous economy that must keep "growing." ...It's completely irrational.
