Resources have a way of spawning for CEOs, why not for minimum wage workers?
2 comments

That is fairly reasonable description of how world works. Well connected CEO can spawn money they way minimum wage workers cant.

And we in fact have tons of Epstein files showing exactly that in play, as a side benefit of those being released.

Do they? It's an interesting question whether resources can be spawned by fiat. I think the only entity capable of doing so is the government, i.e. when it prints money.
Well companies can issue stock, which is more or less spawning resources, but that's not what I meant. When people with more money than they need want more of it, things get done, including fucking over the customers, the partners and the workers. When wageslaves want more money they get dragged through the media for their greed (as is happening now).
