Hi, I just poisoned you. Would you like to buy a possible cure? It’s very expensive and probably won’t work, but trust me, its the only way!

    The first lie that capitalists sold was that capitalism rewards innovation. It doesn’t, at all. It rewards exploitation. Innovation is occasionally a by-product, but only as another avenue for exploitation. Human beings are naturally creative and will innovate out of boredom or laziness. Competition does not produce creators, it produces predators.

      It’s genuinely absurd how companies like Uber get away with positioning themselves as tech companies to investors when they’re really just a booking agency in an app that undercuts the competition through exploitation of labour by using the freelancer/contractor loophole.
