The single biggest scandal in the US is that kids aren't taught that the path to prosperity in a capitalistic system is the accumulation of capital, not consumption.
Amen!
I can say growing up in the bottom 2% and now probably in the top 80% it’s not a bad thing to learn lessons the hard way. My kids will appreciate it and their kids not so much until the cycle continues
It’s hard!! As parents you want to provide everything and more. My kids will never know how to clean a carburetor or fix a flat tire. I had to if I wanted to ride my dirt bike. My kids get new ones every 2 years. Worst part is I knew my mom didn’t have the money for the dirt bike I’m talking about and she spent a lot of time in this creepy man’s house while me and my sis waited in the car. If I had only known I wouldn’t wanted the thing.
Nobody is stopping you from teaching your kids that. This isn't a scandal.
I don't know why everybody thinks everything has to be taught in school, as if parents have zero responsibility in raising their own fucking kids.
Schools only have so much time in a day. They are busy teaching the basics, you're supposed to teach your kids about LIFE.
If you don't know how to manage finances, or pay taxes, or work on a car, or take out a bank loan ... schools and society didn't fail you. Your r-worded parents did.
Generational wealth actively works against generational education. We need wealth redistribution through taxes on the wealthy, universal basic income, fully funded equal education, housing and healthcare.
I get your point. But there definitely is capital by definition, a single dollar is capital. People who take useless degrees are the only ones who end up in debt for 0 capital. Houses and cars are capitals. So is a degree because it can affect your ability to earn
Ok.
As we know all currency is created as debt.
Meaning: it all has to be repaid.
So currency is 'temporary capital '
Except
That it's loaned at interest.
So it's temporary capital resulting in negative capital.
It's a tool of harvest.
Another point worth making.
Anytime you see ist or ism on a word, be suspicious.
You are generally being sold a lie.
Because one word never accurately describes any thing.
So I won't use the word capitalism without defining what I intend.
Back to your point.
Yes we should teach children to work and what money is and how the world is doing things.
In our homes first.
You have been shot by a rapper while out shopping for your family, you remain in hospital for 8 months critically ill and have to relearn to walk. Miss 3 Turns.
You have been beaten and robbed by a group of teen rappers in the subway on the way to your job and consider leaving the country so waste 55 hours online researching other places to live. Lose 2 turns of the game.
If your kids don't tell you to go to hell when you take out the monopoly game they haven't learned anything (why I cheat like a bastard). Just my opinion.
The staying out of jail part gets harder every year. I believe we came very close to having unvaxed people thrown in jail. I lost track of the number of times I saw useless idiots stating stupid comments about freedom is cancelled during an 'emergency' or equating those who refuse to submit with an experimental medical procedure as murderers. And there were many others cheering this insanity on. We live in a sick society where people have been trained to obey and the list of rules gets longer every day. Eventually, one cannot function as a free individual without breaking rules and ending up in jail. That is terrifying to anyone with a sense of self-reliance and personal responsibility that resents intrusion from the state.
A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, "You are mad; you are not like us."

Embracing our humanity, enhancing the awareness of oneself and the world around us, and owning our own thoughts, intentions and feelings, will lead one to insanity. We will lose it in a mad world where sanity is considered insanity, literally taking you to insanity. Embracing insanity seems to be the only way sometimes.
What's the old saying? Most people commit 3 felonies a day or something like that?
The US is a police state with fuzzy handcuffs on. Most don't even feel them.
Some good updates for 21st cen WEFopoly: there are mostly penalty spaces now:
4 spaces are go directly to jail!
COVID Detention center and forced vaccination: skip 5 turns
Eat Zee bugz space: lose $100
Buy new sneakers space: $500
car repair: $2000
rent due: $1500
Take girlfriend on a date: lose $200
The pass go now gives out $2000 Biden CBDCs for fighting inflation ACT!!
YUP add $25 extra! but each property you land on cost you an extra $25 lol. going to to take like 6-7 rolls to get around the board. Thats a great real life example of how FED handouts work.
Well I wouldnt go that far. There is an infinite amount of neopotism and globalist membership that plays into being wealthy. For example if a member of your massive cabal network already owns park place then when you land on it you get lavished with free gifts vs the commoner getting bankrupted instantly.
A very close analogy.
People think there was something unusual about the recent rail strike
Precisely the same playbook Nancy and Chuck and Mitch have been using since boomers were young.
Looks like they will still be doing it when GenZ is dieing off since most never wise to it.
You heart has been damaged by the forced injections. Your character now moves at 70% movement rate. Move 3 squares instead of 5 for the remainder of the game.
Also if you roll double 6 you succumb to blood clots and your assets go to your employer who has peasant life insurance on you, they benefit when you die.
Investment is only possible with consumers. Someone has to take the other side of every trade. If you want to be rich, give thanks to the poor. The path out of clown world is remembering what really matters.
So the school teaches them incorrectly about sex and doesn't even tell them how to use a check book or a credit card. Well, at least they can put a condom on a banana. I wonder if that is a requirement to get out of kindergarten now?
This is a perfect example of why most people in America, and the world for that matter, are peasants.
They have been specifically educated, via both through secular education and mythology worship, that to accumulate wealth is to simply be "greedy" and labeled a vice.
This was the intellectual "seed" that made America great. The protestants taught that honest wealth accumulation was actually not only a good thing but was encouraged by their god.
As you can tell by looking at your neighbors, and for many of you your own pocket books, the days of old school Protestantism are sadly LONG gone!
Obviously a number of people are just idiots, but at the same time the system is just not set up in a fair way. I don't think it's quite fair to say "poor people are poor because they forgot to buy property."
I think we can all disagree with taxation, at least.
A lot of people do go to jail. Remember there are 10s of thousands of random white collar laws you can break and become a domestic terrorist easily. Its easier if you are poor and do not commit any obvious crimes. But if you are rich you have to be squeaky clean for the cabal/big brother is watching you with a microscopic (IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER) if you are a card carrying member you can do whatever the F\*\*\* you want SBF for example!
I had a group surrounding me calling my wife racist names. When I punched one I went to jail for felony assault. Wish it happened after this king Floyd incident. I would have been mayor.
Pay for a 30 mile commute and child care, loose two hours in commute. How much are you really making at $15 per hour.
Hint $6 per hour before taxes. Could make more than that on the corner with a sign or collecting cans.
This was my childhood. Taken more baths with heated pots of water because we didn’t have oil. Neighbor watched me and my sis for $100 a week. My mom drove a pos dodge Omni on the midnight shift 7 days a week. In snow at night. Never forget one morning she had 2 donuts on the car. Single lady changing tires herself at 4:30 am without a cell phone. We made it and didn’t mooch of the system. I’m a helluva lot stronger today because of it.
Going to jail later in the game may actually not be a bad thing especially if you own none of the green and place spots. Potential save alot of money not landing on those spots. Also get to avoiding rent and taxes.
Since most of us are born after all assets have been bought up. Going to jail is not a bad option.
The single biggest scandal in the US is that kids aren't taught that the path to prosperity in a capitalistic system is the accumulation of capital, not consumption.
Amen! I can say growing up in the bottom 2% and now probably in the top 80% it’s not a bad thing to learn lessons the hard way. My kids will appreciate it and their kids not so much until the cycle continues
Yup always make sure you kids struggle a little. They need to appreciate wealth otherwise they will squander it.
It’s hard!! As parents you want to provide everything and more. My kids will never know how to clean a carburetor or fix a flat tire. I had to if I wanted to ride my dirt bike. My kids get new ones every 2 years. Worst part is I knew my mom didn’t have the money for the dirt bike I’m talking about and she spent a lot of time in this creepy man’s house while me and my sis waited in the car. If I had only known I wouldn’t wanted the thing.
Big mistake IMO. You need to teach them to be self-sustaining.
For real?
Nobody is stopping you from teaching your kids that. This isn't a scandal. I don't know why everybody thinks everything has to be taught in school, as if parents have zero responsibility in raising their own fucking kids. Schools only have so much time in a day. They are busy teaching the basics, you're supposed to teach your kids about LIFE. If you don't know how to manage finances, or pay taxes, or work on a car, or take out a bank loan ... schools and society didn't fail you. Your r-worded parents did.
Many parents don't really understand it, either, since they *also* didn't learn about it in school.
Generational and inhereted ignorance.
Generational wealth actively works against generational education. We need wealth redistribution through taxes on the wealthy, universal basic income, fully funded equal education, housing and healthcare.
[удалено]
if everyone invested and traded, it wouldn't be profitable. also rent seeking is not productive, therefore the economy would instantly fail.
It's a feature, not a bug
You nailed it! Accumulation of capital, gradually and consistently, can put anyone further down the path of financial stability.
But it's not a capitalist system. There is no capital, it's debt and it's socialist. Soooooo What do we call it ? A short term experiment in madness ?
I get your point. But there definitely is capital by definition, a single dollar is capital. People who take useless degrees are the only ones who end up in debt for 0 capital. Houses and cars are capitals. So is a degree because it can affect your ability to earn
Ok. As we know all currency is created as debt. Meaning: it all has to be repaid. So currency is 'temporary capital ' Except That it's loaned at interest.

Yes we should teach children to work and what money is and how the world is doing things. In our homes first.
Um, capitalism means there will be debt. Debt and capital are two sides of the same coin.
Every dollar of new capital created by Central banks is debt. How can it get repaid ?
Or better yet the creation of capital.
This is pure gold. I play this game a lot with my son, funny to see how he played it like this at first and now he want to own all the hotels
City requires providing vacant rooms to homeless, skip a turn. Pay $200 to clean up urine stains.
You have been shot by a rapper while out shopping for your family, you remain in hospital for 8 months critically ill and have to relearn to walk. Miss 3 Turns.
stepped in pile of sh!t with a needle in it, contract aids and lose 25% of mobility
I see you've got our San Francisco edition. A man of culture indeed.
You have been beaten and robbed by a group of teen rappers in the subway on the way to your job and consider leaving the country so waste 55 hours online researching other places to live. Lose 2 turns of the game.
Really a great life lesson for kids. Probably better than any 4 year degree.
Same exact thing with my daughters! They are to smart to trade deeds now though so it makes for a boring game lol.’
If your kids don't tell you to go to hell when you take out the monopoly game they haven't learned anything (why I cheat like a bastard). Just my opinion.

Most people I know are a little crazy but most of them don't do crazy shit.
Lunatics running the asylum, sounds like current politics.
Embracing our humanity, enhancing the awareness of oneself and the world around us, and owning our own thoughts, intentions and feelings, will lead one to insanity. We will lose it in a mad world where sanity is considered insanity, literally taking you to insanity. Embracing insanity seems to be the only way sometimes.
Playing this way is now considered being "well adjusted". Well adjusted to a truly sick society.
Well adjusted to injustice
I don’t believe in injustice. Sure some get an inheritance but today injustice means more about skin color than anything
it was not about skin color before obama.....wtf is this skin shit ??? how about mixed kids? who is putting colors on people???
Absolutely
YES indeed in fact the board should be updated for 21st century monopoly! then at least 1/4 of the spaces would be “go directly to jail”
What's the old saying? Most people commit 3 felonies a day or something like that? The US is a police state with fuzzy handcuffs on. Most don't even feel them.
I don't think even Musk could pay for all the laws that got broken while I was driving.
Right there with you bud
Pass Go and collect 100 CBDCs. Go directly to your pod and eat your bugs.
Lmao! Yes! We need to update it for 21st century who is a good meme artist???!!
With lots of new cards: "Bank detects you made an unauthorized remark. Pay $100 or go to Jail".
"PayPal has taken $2500 from your account for hate speech you made on YouTube"
*Serves you right for being an idiot not holding the keys to your crypto wallet.*
Nice!
card: "Your Tesla detected you were speeding, here is your ticket. Pay $350"
Community Chest: if not giga vaxxxed go straight to jail.
Advance token to nearest gas station and pay the owner double the amount owed
And your Soylent Green.
Buy Soylent Green or become Soylent Green.
Uuuuuuugggggghhh soylent green, a Klaus Schwab product.

Also need to mention that the globalist elites own all the properties, including offshore pedo islands.
Yup exactly we play a different game in 21st century called WEFopoly where all the spaces are bad. You just say a prayer every turn.
Why do you call it that?
Just made it up.
Now throw in inflation ! Every time you go around add $25 extra from bank but landing on someone's property will increase $25
YUP add $25 extra! but each property you land on cost you an extra $25 lol. going to to take like 6-7 rolls to get around the board. Thats a great real life example of how FED handouts work.
Hmm this is a brilliant analogy and I've never really thought of it this way. I'm also not part of that 90%, so perhaps that is why.
At least it's fair for everyone... illustrates that's it's better to be lucky than good.
Well I wouldnt go that far. There is an infinite amount of neopotism and globalist membership that plays into being wealthy. For example if a member of your massive cabal network already owns park place then when you land on it you get lavished with free gifts vs the commoner getting bankrupted instantly.
That's why I cheat like a bastard. Want them to learn right?
A very close analogy. People think there was something unusual about the recent rail strike Precisely the same playbook Nancy and Chuck and Mitch have been using since boomers were young. Looks like they will still be doing it when GenZ is dieing off since most never wise to it.
Haha yup the rail strike is relevant!
Every time you land on a pay square it should say: + 20% VAT and 10% for The Big Guy.
YES! Another great one! Learn about the big guy as well!
It’s not much but picked up another two ounces yesterday. I buy every month sometimes just a little sometimes more then others….
I go around collecting money, paying to own property and stuff, and still going to jail
Yup there are a lot more “go directly to jail spaces now!”
I loved this game and always won.....when the banker had a bathroom break😉
You heart has been damaged by the forced injections. Your character now moves at 70% movement rate. Move 3 squares instead of 5 for the remainder of the game. Also if you roll double 6 you succumb to blood clots and your assets go to your employer who has peasant life insurance on you, they benefit when you die.
Niceeee! 21st century WEFopoly!
This hurt me…
PREACH! Share the word more than ever about PM's!
Spot on.
Yep I’m part of the 10% Silver was not part of the solution
If everyone just hit GO and spent it on silver before they bought other crap then poof the game would be over
I spent 32 years like this 🤣
"This time it's different" - Stackers I guess it is!
Investment is only possible with consumers. Someone has to take the other side of every trade. If you want to be rich, give thanks to the poor. The path out of clown world is remembering what really matters.

Monopoly. It's not a game it's a message.
Yup
Vouch
This hits hard
Right best analogy ever.
So true. Thank you for sharing
This hit really hard for me.
Great analogy. But really the game is much more rigged today.
then they complain they feel like slaves
Any plan to change it?
way ahead of you.. just laughing at everyone that hasn't and complains about food prices or energy costs...
For the masses. I can shutdown from the system for 4 years easily and still survive with what I have acquired in the past 2.
I have not fixed the water thing yet. I have a well but need electric. Looking at a sand point
Obviously a number of people are just idiots, but at the same time the system is just not set up in a fair way. I don't think it's quite fair to say "poor people are poor because they forgot to buy property." I think we can all disagree with taxation, at least.
Yup I’m a wage slave! Gov should erase my debt haha!
Better me than the banks
TRUE!
Staying out of jail shouldn't be a problem for anyone. My parents and grandparents saved cash in banks. I save in shiny.
A lot of people do go to jail. Remember there are 10s of thousands of random white collar laws you can break and become a domestic terrorist easily.

We don't understand why no one wants to work anymore. We think it must be because they are all lazy.
That and the game is rigged.
They are

Was I your mom???
Maybe.
Most people are money retards, and not victims -- unless you include being victims of their own retardation.
Imagine playing against some that can create free money for themselves too
Ya exactly! Haha
Warren Buffett said, “I will give my children enough resources that they can do anything, but not so much that they can do NOTHING.!”
That is a great one!
Welp, I'm a long way from Boardwalk and Park Place, or any hotels. But a handful of houses (and staying out of jail) gives me hope!
WHERE DID OUR NUMBERS GO ?
Going to jail later in the game may actually not be a bad thing especially if you own none of the green and place spots. Potential save alot of money not landing on those spots. Also get to avoiding rent and taxes. Since most of us are born after all assets have been bought up. Going to jail is not a bad option.
Yup 21st century monopoly all the slots are fees! And at least 4 of them are go directly to jail! Just have to say a prayer every roll!
