inequality is a necessary side effect of the capitalist system that has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else.
I would not call it as being a necessary side effect...I would call it as an inevitable consequence of the system.
and the topic of inequality is a consequence of democracy where every vote is equal. I bet all those inequality activists will disappear in an instant, if votes are weighted, say by tax paid.
That's some impressive PC/SnowFlake talk right there. We live in a world, where Donald Trump has a job working in a corner store, which is just mind blowing, if he at his age can do that, think what a normal not disabled, not suffering with acute dementia 20+ year old could do, if not for the cripping anxiety and depression ofcourse and all the time you spend on facebook word shaming people.
Without, most of the stuff we take for granted, wouldn't exit, Cars, phones, tv's, computers, medecines, clothes because they've all been invented to be sold and make someone rich, without rich people funding up R&D and developing and producing such things to sell and make money from, they wouldn't exist. So thankyou rich people, your not perfect, but you make this world a lot better and everyone who disagrees is just jealous of you, ignore.
you see the leftist globalist agenda - push global warming carbon restriction scam so that the wealth is limited and therefore distribution becomes a problem. inequality is never a problem.... poverty is, but can be eliminated by created unlimited abundance. 'There is a lot of inequality between me and Bill Gates, but I don't have a problem with that' - Ben Shapiro.
I think what snusk is trying to say is that you can be an non working idiot and hit it big or a hard working smart mofo and not make it big. The example you used of The Donald is a perfect example. If all it took was hard work you’d see a lot more wealth.
Yeah, I'd be the first to admit that I somewhat generalized Snusk's post. He is right, in that effort <> success. It's one of many factors, and yes ... luck is part of it. Which is why, just like trading? You have to grind out an iteration of events / opportunities. Effort, as he said, will always skew an outcome just a tad higher. But it's not just about effort. The number of people I know in the industry, that are dumber than a rock, and just happened to make out due to place of birth, family connections, fortunate happenstance ... not getting hit with a bad run, etc ... is incredible. Which is why I figure ... Effort + An Iteration of Opportunity Events will yield an incredible result. Not effort alone.
The amount of people that sit on job support and make zero effort is unreal, they don't even put $50 into an FX account and have a go!
