You can’t buy people anymore but you can buy most of their awake hours. It’s called a job.
People sell those hours because they have to. It’s called a salary.
Wait so could I hire some suckers to do my hours so I could keep my salary and hours?
this guy has figured out capitalism
Keep it down what if they start organizing?
Great workaround rec, thanks
I think since then it’s happened a few more times. Don’t forget those that have 2-3 full time jobs.
Ugh! I’ll have to hire kids on drugs to compete with those fat cats pulling down three salaries!
You misspelled “wage slavery”
Depends on if you can’t live comfortably or not still.
The official poverty rate in the USA was 11.4% in 2020 with 37.2 million people under the poverty line. I’d wager many of them might not hold a job due to having young children as well.

Out of the homes, 38 could be considered low income, 44 middle income and 18 high income.
So nearly 1/3 of Americans would be wage slaves by the latter. Even worse for those under the poverty line.
Well no, she can’t buy Kanye. He’s not a Supreme Court Justice.
What’s really important is that it’s impossible not to be a bad person and a billionaire. I like her music but being a billionaire means that she is an enemy of society. Period
most bilionares are good people. Some are not though.
They’ve spent more money than you’ll ever make convincing you of that.
Looking at your comments I can see you’re just a troll but if actual humans are reading this: there are exactly zero moral billionaires. It is not possible to be a billionaire and be a good person at the same time. You do not have to know what’s in their heart or whatever the fuck this idiot is trying to say. You can’t earn that kind of money without hurting and exploiting people and if you keep that amount of money you are actively harming society. End of story.
Not really true at all. Judgemental people like you are the reason we cant progress as a species.
Lmao and the people hoarding incalculable wealth that they’ll never ever be able to spend in multiple lifetimes are for sure helping us progress as a species.
Get real.
Nobody that has exploited and hoarded billions of dollars from society for their personal benefit are good people.
Some can be. You dont know all billionares
Don’t have to, it’s not possible to hoard that much wealth while people starve and be considered ‘good’.
It is possible. You dont know enough to make that judgement.
Self awareness isn’t your strong suite, is it?
its stronger than yours, clearly
I will allow someone to buy me, but like software you won’t “own” me. You will just be liscencing me and, at any time, I may revoke your access to myself.
I, too, have a job
