RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I mean those who have a crap ton of money have it because they don't mind exploiting others in terrible ways to get it. So maybe the cream would rise back up to the top psychopaths.
Naw, I'm down with exploiting others for personal gain but I simply lack the capital to do so in the same way as the ultra rich.
I'm not going to pretend every low income person is some ethical ideal, because I sure as fuck aren't.
And that's why like laws and shit are needed to prevent that exploitation or whatever.
True they'd need to keep at least a few million to rise back to the top
Don't underestimate the power of social capital.
Don't forget, Nepotism and "net working" aka groups of sociopaths working together to shear the sheep...
If you take their money, they still have their connections, as long as the other wolves don't turn on them.
Edit: as another poster said "social capital" is a thing.
