The virus only affects rich people.

[Gaexion Ramza Beoulve]

Poor people-you are immune-and will have to keep working.

If you work as a grocer, chef, concierge, maid, garbageman, repair man, nurse, farmer, produce inspector, butcher, mailman, policeman, janitor and so on: you must keep working and you must keep paying rent. There will be a brief government stimulus-which will come out of your tax return next year.

You must work and you will not be getting hazard pay, you must pay for your own mask which is now required to do business.

No you will not be getting a raise, and if you complain you will be replaced. If you see someone without a mask-harass them and make sure they know they are a lesser person for endangering your ability to keep working, which you must do.

Nooooooo. Why would someone go on the internet and point out the (intentional) flaws of neoliberal capitalism.

Im gonna assume u live in the states or some other place were u cant take time off from work cause u very sick.

In BETTER places of the world, we got to take time of work when sick AND get paid so we dont get kicked out and has to live on the street.

Maybe direct ur anger at politicians and not at rich people.

Because there is famously no overlap between those groups.

Why complain about buying your own mask, tho? You can get a pack of 5 for about $7 at Walmart.

Because as a general rule when an employee is required to do or wear something the furtherance of business it is right the business should bear that cost. As before such a protection existed you would often find capitalists expecting their employees to pay for the privilege of working or renumerating them in food and/or board.

Employers are normally required to pay for PPE.

Example: if you work out in a plant that requires FRCs, a hard hat, and steel-toed shoes, they have to reimburse you for your expanses of buying those. In the case of the hardhat, they'll usually have a bunch on spare.

By that logic the virus affected the poor people the most, didnt it?

[wunksta]

Many rich people already suffer from affluenza.

Rich people aren't the cause of poor people's problems though. That's caused by a lack of personal knowledge of how to personally create an on-going stream of wealth. Which every functional person has the capacity to create more and more wealth for themselves over time.

If this were remotely true then poor people wouldn't exist.

And who do you think makes it so they can't create on-going streams of wealth.

Do you have anything to back up this statement as true? If you're saying rich people are cause of poor people's problems then you have to prove that. If you're saying that average people don't have the capacity to increase income and wealth over time then why have those metrics been increasing for thousands of years since man evolved and became civilized?

It's rich people's fault, just look around.

I already said why, it's caused by a lack of knowledge.

You first, with this nonsense:

Like I said, if this were true then poor people wouldn't exist because every family would have accrued wealth intergenerationally on average when that is not actually the case in real life. Barring some bullshit "poverty isn't real because we have flushing toilets" argument which white conservatives are fond of using.

Can I have a small loan of a million dollars?

[Elegiac]

I see your small loan of a million dollars and raise you medieval peasants having on average eight weeks to half the year off, i.e. vastly more leisure time than people living in the "developed" first world.

Industrial capitalism continues to be a massive confidence trick.

Oh yeah I remember now poor people just aren't as smart as rich people.

[PC2]

You first, with this nonsense:

You can't generate an income and create wealth without knowledge of how to perform tasks, provide services, or make products for the purpose of generating an income and a surplus. As that knowledge increases then you can perform more and more tasks and services and make more products which allows for more wealth generation. Wealth isn't generated magically from no-where it's derived from the on-going application of knowledge.

Or interest from daddy's investments that (based on the steady decline in social mobility) wealthy people are increasingly likely to have?
